relentless core

The tour is really beginning to pick up momentum now. A crazy Saturday night in Southampton, followed by a sold out Sunday in Bristol proved a huge success. Coheed and Cambria's Iron Maiden cover was the highlight for team Relentless, and meet and greet favourites Madina Lake have been putting on a kick ass show. We can't wait for tonight's gig at Nottingham Rock City! Keep keepin real!

Coheed and Cambria - black and white!

Coheed and Cambria - purple!

Relentless meet and greet winner Southampton.

The first Irish leg of the Kerrang! Relentless Energy Drink Tour 2008 hit a charged crowd at Belfast Mandela Hall on Wednesday night with an equally dedicated mischief of hard rock fans lining the streets of Dublin for round two!! Last night's introduction to the tour went off and Relentless were there meeting and greeting the dedicated party-hard fans.

The 4 bands on tour include Circa Survive, Fighstar, Madina Lake and Coheed & Cambria, all of which rolled into town early doors yesterday in their tour buses stoked to be on the UK tour. We watched the sound check for Chicago four-piece Madina Lake and were blown away - we watched their set about 3 hours later and the 1200 strong crowd were hitting the roof!

Every set has fully rocked out both venues with headliners Coheed and Cambria finishing off the sets as top-class headliners.

You can catch us out and about on the whole tour over the next 2 weeks handing out Relentless goodies and talking to you about forthcoming festivals, gigs and bands we're involved with for '08. So if you see us come say hello and claim some freebies!!

For more info, band news and photos check out the official tour blog at tour.kerrang.com/bands. Madinas Lake are also keeping their own tour blog site which you can get to via www.roadrunnerrecords.co.uk/madinalake/tourdiary

We're amped on the Irish send-off - and look forward to seeing the rest of you on tour...

Mark Webb is showing massive improvement since crushing his vertebrae at the end of last year. He's up for another scan next week which should give him some important news on his recovery. His spirits are high and he's hoping to be riding again by the summer. All the best Mark.
