About RSJ - Sat 14th Nov, Sawyers Venue, Kettering!
Spawned in late 2002, RSJ set about constructing heavy groove-laden noise metal. Since then RSJ have released 2 EP's and 2 albums to flawless reviews from publications such as 'METALHAMMER', 'KERRANG!', 'TERRORIZER' and numerous e-zines. Their lastest album (Gain to Nothing) has continued the trend with yet more stunning reviews and contained a host of bonus material including a remix by Matt Wilcock of death metal giants AKERCOCKE. Their video for Deadbolt was also aired on both SCUZZ TV and MTV2’s HEADBANGERS BALL and THE RIOT.
In-between the recordings RSJ have toured and gigged with a wide variety of scene luminaries such as 'SOILWORK', 'BIOHAZARD', 'UNEARTH', 'NMEMIC', 'FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND’ and 'THE BERZERKER’ to name but a few. Along the way the band have proudly secured endorsements with 'ESP Guitars&Basses', HUGHES & KETTNER Amplification', 'BLEUBOLT Streetwear' and ‘ED STONE Clothing'. The end of 2007 saw RSJ proudly win the award for ‘BEST METAL BAND’ at London's GLASSWERK NATIONAL MUSIC AWARDS.
2008 saw RSJ achieve new heights gaining a headline slot on the SCUZZ TV stage at BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR FESTIVAL and also the opening slot on THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE TOUR CHAPTER III playing alongside SLAYER, TRIVIUM, MASTODON and AMON AMARTH.
