New to Hong Kong?
Or just new to the live music scene?
How can you sift the good bands from the bad bands?
初來報到?  
還沒有摸熟本地樂隊的圈子?
那你大概需要看看我們的 "樂隊指南"了。


For over nine 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.
近九年來,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 400 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:  我們的網站已經有過四百隊本地樂隊的樂評 (還有曾在Underground演出的外地樂隊!),包括將於本月演出的幾隊樂隊:

18 May 2013 Fluorescent Hearts Live in Hong Kong @ Bisous
22 June 2013 Underground 108 @ Backstage Live


Fluorescent Hearts live in HK!
 
One of the biggest breakthrough UK bands of the past twelve months, Fluorescent Hearts have been lighting up the streets and some of the biggest venues in the UK, with a radiance that has seen them amass new legions of devotees every time the first chord is struck. Maintaining their childhood love of pop punk and grunge rock roots, FH sway towards One Republic's intricately textured, yet song-savvy composition and Savage Garden's timeless vocal melodies and sugary-sweet instrumentation, singing about love and life, drumming up familiar emotions anyone can relate and sing along to.
     'Anthem' was recorded with renowned producer Stuart MacLeod (Amy Macdonald, The Dykeenies, Miniature Dinosaurs) and mastered by Darius Van Helfteren (Radiohead, Michael Jackson, hit TV series 'Glee')
            On May 18th, they make their Hong Kong debut. A chance not to be missed for fans of UK music.

毫無疑問在過去十二個月中最具有突破性的英國樂隊之一,Fluorescent Hearts的炫麗演出已經照亮了一些在英國最大的場館和街道。 每當他們掃下第一個和弦,他們散髮出的光芒便能讓他們聚斂新的樂迷軍團。Fluorescent Hearts依舊維持著在童年時所喜愛的流行朋克搖滾和另類搖滾音樂-他們的創作歌曲有著偏向 One Republic 的錯綜複雜的紋理和類似Savage Garden的朗朗上口的旋律。他們唱著有關愛情和生命的歌曲,帶出任何人都能體會的情緒以及一起合唱的歌曲。 "Anthem" 是和著名製作人 Stuart MacLeod (Amy Macdonald, The Dykeenies, Miniature Dinosaurs) 一起錄的,並由 Darius Van Helfteren (Radiohead, Michael Jackson, hit TV series 'Glee') 完成混音。
