Aftertaste is a
five piece band straight out of Cape Town, South Africa. They play a
progressive style of hardcore music. The overall sound of Aftertaste
is created by powerful, hard-hitting guitars, covered by sweet melodies.
Drum beats that will keep your feet tapping. Low end that's fast and
decorative with some African influence and vocals which incorporate
shout/screams surrounded by gut-wrenching screams and soothing melodics.
Their trademark would definitely be their experimentation with build
ups and break outs. Aftertaste have played numerous clubs, schools,
festivals, churches and have also played with world renown metal band,
Mortification, on their tour to South Africa. They are now looking to
play alongside bands like Stretch Arm Strong, Zao, Sick Of It All etc.
Aftertaste have entered and won various competitions. They've had radio
play as well as radio interviews in South Africa. They are now looking
to bigger things with the release of their first full length album,
"Two Minutes to a Heartbeat" The sky is the limit for these five young
artists!

The godfathers of
the Mutha City punk scene. This six-piece ska/punk band have been tearing
apart stages and causing chaos around the country for the past seven
years, leaving a trail of smiling faces and empty whiskey bottles in
their wake. With two full-length Cds under their belt, as well as having
appeared on various compilations with the likes of: NOFX, New Found
Glory, Millencolin, Strung Out and many others, it's no surprise that
their infectious brand of humour and unmistakably unique sound have
the respect of their counterparts and won them the hearts of their ever-growing
fanbase. They are notorious for, amongst other things, their energetic
and entertaining live shows. Be sure to catch the porkrock experience
when the MCA comes to your town.

New World
Inside is a four piece melodic emotional punk band from the the heart
of the Mutha City. The band was formed as "Aguycalledgerald" but changed
their name and line-up with the addition of papa ruff (Fungi gone West/
Joystick) on guitar and became NWI as we know them today. They played
all over Cape Town the last year: clubs, schools, skate parks and a
couple of festivals including the Stellenbosch Black Label beer Festival
where they won the University Battle of the Bands. The band recorded
a six track EP that was released in March 2002 and recently released
their first full length album. With the success of their new album and
increasing popularity nationwide, the fabulous four-some are proving
to be one of the hottest new talents to come out of this country. Catch
NWI at the next MCA show... you won't be sorry.

Traditional African
Ska band, who've been blowing up all over the place in their relatively
short existence. They consist of no less than eight members playing
the wickedest of wicked reggae and dub and the rudest of rude ska. The
full, upbeat sound of the Rudimentals will get your feet tapping and
your feet stomping and skanking no matter who you are or what your musical
preference.... but don't just take my word for it Check out the Rudies
when the MCA is next ripping up your scene.
