Big cheese, Punktastic & Celebration

A couple of cool things have happened for Overthrow in the last week.

We are in the latest issue of Big Cheese magazine in the new bands section, and our track Roll Of The Dice made it onto the CD, free with every copy, along with bands like Slipknot, The Gaslight Anthem and Cancer Bats! This is really great as it's the first time we've graced the pages of a magazine! If you are interested in grabbing yourself a copy it's available at most HMV's and WHSmiths, or from
www.bigcheesemagazine.com

Also Paul from Punktastic gave a more than glowing review of our new EP "So Much Power, So Little Time", and you can check that out over at

Christmas. It's scary how blindly commited people are to upholding the traditional of Christmas. A celebration originating from a religious event many don't even believe in, and one that certainly isnt relevant or portrayed in the Coca Cola christmases we witness nowadays. The modern festive season is merely a celebration of the overwhelming power of consumerism and the media to sell sell sell while we suck it all up.
I don't want to be negative though. It's great to see family and friends and eat nice food and drink lots and be generous and give the ones we love things that they love. But do we really need a corrupt religious/consumer driven holiday to embrace all the positives?
Tradition holds us back from progression.

That said, I hope everyone has had a great year, and let's celebrate that and all that is good on Wed by getting merry/messy!x
