SWALLOWED BY HOLE

Swallowed By Hole come to you from Lisbon, Portugal, and were idealized in 2007 by brothers Ricardo (drums) and Hugo (guitar) Gervaia from the ashes of a previous project. They decided it was time to create a new sound that came to life when Lourenço “Jiné” (bass) and Gonçalo “Pardalão” (guitar) joined them.
In the beginning of 2008, with already a few songs written, the band felt the need to add a voice to the project and that’s when Isi (vocals) came along. Soon, they recorded a demo version of the song “Puppets of Hate” and where invited to play at the “Hostile Union Fest” with My Deception.
Lourenço “Jiné” left the project due to incompatible attitudes but that strengthened SBH’s willpower to follow their path.
Manteigas (bass) joined and the band gained the consistency and stability necessary to take the next step. New songs were written almost immediately and the band played 2 more shows with Green Grass Riddle and Sordid Sight.
In August 2008, the band starts to record the first EP (due to release in 2009) and recorded a “Live Session” in October 2008 at Estúdio Q, produced by Tiago Abreu. The session had the participation of Rizzo (vocals) from Utopium.

ON A PLAIN

The band – ON A PLAIN - was born in September 2002 with Dani, Vitor, Rita and John (later replaced by Rui). They started the project as “Seeker” and presented themselves in numerous concerts, festivals and competitions. The good receptivity of these gigs projected them to the main stage as guests of some of the biggest national bands and musicians, such as Pedro Abrunhosa, Xutos e Pontapés and Fingertips – also from Viseu.

Gabriel, Sales and Ana teamed up with the band in 2006, and so they decided to change the name of the band. ON A PLAIN was now born. The band consolidated its music and in March 2007 recorded their debut EP, "Special". The four tracks were recorded in the “Metro Music” Studios, with Hélder Matos as a producer.

The good receptivity by the critics and the public, led to the production of the video for their most successful track. The single "Little Child" was produced by “Takemedia” and was conceived by all of the band members. The band also won the award for Best New Act, by the “Animarte” magazine.

The rise of ON A PLAIN led to the release of their first record in October 2008, with Rewind Music. "READ MY LIPS" presents the best work of this rock band and adds a series of technological innovations in its design and presentation to the public. This record has a multimedia track with photos, music and lyrics, video clips and the ON THE PLAIN biography. You can also access to other contents by introducing a secret password that is hidden on the multimedia aplication.
