Ash

The official Ash website - www.ash-official.com. The site is cool, with the first minute and a half of pretty much every Ash song ever to download (mp3s which downlaod v.quickly) and the first 30 seconds of all their videos. The site is all done through macromedia flash, which while making it look really good, it means you need flash to do anything on the site - if you don't have it check Internet Essentials for someplace to download it (its worth it) or else try visiting this unofficial Ash page www.geocities.com/alternator_team/ASHPAGE.HTM.

Foo
Fighters

The official Foo Fighters website - www.foofighters.com. It takes a while for images to preload but it looks really good and its a really big site with more being added all the time.

Green
Day

The new official site - www.officialgreenday.com/ - is now up and running with loads of sounds and flashy effects and looks very cool.

Rage
Against
The
Machine

Their official website - www.ratm.com. A very political site from a very political band, feturing aswell as the usual bundel of music clips and photos a freedom fighter of the month section and a page of links to sites of other political causes they support such as the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Wilt are a new band formed from the ashes of the excellent Kerbdog, with only one change in the three piece. Wilt's guitar based rock is similar to that of Kerbdog, but they still sound like a whole new band, apart from Battle's distictive singing. I've seen them play live twice and if you ever get a chance their worth a look. Their album Bastinado was released in July and if you hurry you'll get a bonus CD with different radio sessions on it. The officicial Wilt site is www.wilt.ie.

Chicks have been around for at least 2 years now, and you might remember them from a feature in the Culture section of The Sunday Times a while back, touting them as the next big thing, although they seem to have dissappeared off the face of the planet since then. They're a young all girl three piece band, who play a kind of simple catchy punk rock. Hopefully they'll surface again. They only site I could find with anything substantial on them is www.punkgirl.co.uk/chicks/main.html, which has news articles, realplayer songs, lyrics, band profile etc. along with a mailing list if you're interested.

Great guitar rock band from Northern Ireland who released their debut album Songs For Polarbears this year. See them live if you get the chance. The official website is www.jeepster.co.uk/snowpatrol/, with all the usual bits and bobs.

Very talented Belfast band, with a very colourful and all round funky website. The address is www.watercress.net/ and you can download loads of full songs, music clips and video clips there.
