Band: Dominate
From: UK
Their formation story:
(Sam, vocals): "I wrote the first songs initially myself as a band I could sing in and then collaborated with Dan who sings in Final Form (I play guitar in that band) to play the drums for Dominate, just rocked up and recorded and started jumping on some shows without any crazy intention really!
Their sound in their own words:
"100% hardcore, 100% of the time. Key influences probably Death Threat, Bulldoze, Billy Club, Ninebar, Blood For Blood, but with UKHC DNA at its core. I think UK heads have a different approach to a mosh part that isn’t always prevalent in an American band and we can’t help it sometimes."
Latest release info:
"We just put out 3 tracks on a tape via my label, Warpath Records. The name Dealers Choice was inspired by our friend Ola of Quality Control HQ, UKHC legend who is currently unjustly serving time at His Majesty’s Pleasure as a political prisoner. It was a throwaway phrase she used in a text just before we went to the studio to record and I didn’t have any lyrics for that song but it was all I needed to get the job done. Free Ola, she continues to inspire UKHC from inside."
Future plans:
"We played a bunch of shows recently so I’m not sure how busy we will be for the rest of the year, but always fun to hit some new spots in Europe and further afield so will see what happens!"
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Real Domain are about to release a great demo or already have depending on when you read this, and Power Move is another band local to us that’s gona do great when it sees the light of day.
"UKHC picks in general at the moment: Hellbound, Cannonball, Wits End, and Violent Offence."
Dealers Choice is available on cassette via Warpath Records.
