Come On... Blaze Ahead!
The Underground Compilation CD4

 

For those of you who missed out on getting your hands on a copy of The Underground CD4, here are a few ways to make it easier for you:

 

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/undergroundmusic3 

(for overseas friends 海外朋友)

 

In Hong Kong, two of the bands on CD4 -

Dark Himaya

Corey Tam

will be selling this CD4 at their upcoming gigs.

We have a feature about the songs on the CD here. Read about which band wrote a song initially as a love ballad yet now its a bitch about ex-s!

 

 

 

By the end of May, we will have the CD (entitled "Come On...Blaze Ahead..!") in HMV and other select music shops around town.

 

香港的朋友, 兩支出現於CD4的樂隊 - Dark Himaya及 Corey Tam - 均會於他們快將上演的音樂會中售賣 CD4。
此外, 該名為「Come On...Blaze Ahead..!的 CD4亦會由五月底開始在 HMV及其他指定零售店舖發售。

那你大概需要看看我們的 "樂隊指南"了。


Well for over seven years, at all our events, we've had reviewers come and watch the bands perform and then write their honest reviews.  Some reviews are better
than others, some longer than others but all honest.

 

年以來,我們邀請不同的樂評人為在Underground演出的每一隊樂隊撰寫樂評。每位樂評人的觀點都不盡相同,但可以肯定的一點是,他們都盡心為大家帶來最準確、最不偏不倚的評論。

 

Our website has over 325 bands reviewed (and a sprinkling of overseas bands too!)  to share with you.  Many of the bands performing this month are listed in our reviews:
