SATURDAY PITSTOP WITH ESSEX FORD BILLERICAY – 22.3.8

One year on air for Phoenix FM, and one year since the first interview on full-time Phoenix fell on me (see sometime before 8pm at www.phoenixfm.com/first-day.php).

Replicating day one on air, today's first birthday party welcomed local bands in the studio all day long.  Two were scheduled to make a Saturday Pitstop:  Damnation and Sinister Ways.

Damnation are a four-piece heavy rock band of 16 and 17-year-olds from Shenfield High School.  They are Sam Pinkney (from Hutton) on vocals/guitar;  Jack Unite (Billericay) on bass;  Scott Fenn (Shenfield) on drums;  and Tom Good (Billericay) also on guitar.

Sinister Ways, also sixth formers but from the other side of Phoenix FM territory – Billericay's Mayflower High School, played two tracks from their CD Shattered Dreams and another couple live.  They were in order:  No Way Out;  Corruption;  Inside;  and Ain't Talking About Love (Van Halen).  See www.phoenixfm.com/first-birthday.php

Sinister Ways are David Copsey (from Kelvedon Hatch) on guitar;  Adam Wilson (Basildon) on vocals/bass;  Matthew Holland (Billericay) also on guitar;  and Dan Bliss (Wickford) on drums.  See www.myspace.com/sinisterwaysband
