New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Underground Hong Kong Official Website) - Berri Txarrak is one band you have TO SEE to believe. Melodic hardcore at it's best!!

Shotgun Politics
We are a four-piece rocking out in the up-and-coming Indie scene here in Hong Kong. Coming together as former metalheads, we are trying to write pop songs that keep the energy of rock and the presence of metal.
Our general message is one that resonates through in these times of economic hardship and for the urban lifestyle we live in. 'You don't have to spend money to lead a rich life.' The songs we write are tales and observations of life that happen all around us. May this be one of the members of the band hooking up with a 'mama's girl' or reflecting on growing up in the metropolis that is HK in 'new years day' and '852'.
The scene here is waiting to burst and we hope that the kids will understand that the music they seek from the US/UK is available here and that it is equally great. Events are usually three doors down from the watering holes most of these people visit. Here's to hoping this awareness spreads, and that we are a part of it.

Milkshake7
Milkshake7 is a rock and roll group started from 2004 who plays aggressive music with lyrics about making changes. We believe music should be positive and do good to the society. We believe there should be another choice for the next generation alternative to the commercial pop music which only talks about business and silly, naive ideas. We enjoy every single second that we are on stage. We hope all rock groups in HK can stand strong on their ground and make a revolution in HK.
