We'd like to welcome our new OFFICIAL PA, Meg Huggins (oo and also Wardrobe assistant; says I have a great dress sence woop :D). Here's a personal statement from her:
"I'm Meg! I love the kind of music the boys make, and think they have real potential in today's music industry. I basically aim to just help them through this ride, help them achieve an awesome look and help them get far with the music they produce."
Wow...so much faith :) Anyways a lil update from moi (Zach) I'm off to Thailand in 5 hours, so that postpones like 898279872 band rehearsals which sucks...but will be rocking and writing in Thailand during the period and we'll hit the studio as soon as I come back, so be prepared for a video that includes us playing these toys...i mean instruments :)
Also we're having hand drawn T Shirts designed and will be coming shortly, so watch this space!

Introducing Amrit + Interview Part.1
Hello Ladies...Yes just ladies! (and some blokeys :P)
Anyways, we'd like to give a warm and (non-homo) welcome to Amrit (commonly known as "Armpit" to Zach :P). Our new bassist, Zach caught up with him earlier and this was his interview:
Zach: So then, how long have you been 'bassing' for?
Amrit: I've been playing for about a year.
Zach: Any influences? Bandwise and solo bassists?
Amrit: Two of my main infunences as a bassist are Flea and Steve Harris. To be honest I listen to any rock/metal and all those sub genres.
Zach: Any bands in particular and also: what band/artist has inspired you the most and what skills have you adapted from them?
Amrit: Bands in particular: ummm it's Suicide Silence, Killswitch Engage and The Devil Wears Prada
Zach: Nice bands!
Amrit: A skill i've picked up is alternative picking.
Amrit: Thanks
Zach: So where could you see yourself in the next few years and also with A Dire Dispute?
Amrit: Touring across Europe with ADD. I know the drummer (Jonas Wellingham) really well so hopefully we all can get far! And with an album done too.
Zach: It's good to see faith!
Zach: So what do you think of the other band members at the moment?
Amrit: Well i've heard Zach's demos which are awesome, and hes a "fun-gi"... it's a mushroom joke. Jonas, hes a good drummer, one of my best mates. Craig, don't really talk to him, never heard his guitaring skills, he's a funny guy.
Zach: Heard my latest?
Amrit: Not yet.
Zach: Will send it you right now then!
Zach: So what genre would you specifically like to create, or band's you'd like to recreate?
Amrit: TWPD (The Devil Wears Prada) are one of my biggest influences at the moment
Amrit: Did you tab out Fading Away? (Zach's Demo)
Zach: Nah lol
Amrit: Damn.
Zach: Why?
Amrit: You should of because its frucking awesome and I could of put a bass to that!
Zach: Thanks and back to the question. So you'd like to create some TDWP type stuff?
End of part. 1 - Part 2 comming soon!

A Message From Zach!
Hey Guys & Girls!
Ok we're in desperate need of a bassist now (and maybe a lead guitarist :P). We found it hard to find a drummer but eventually found 15 year old Jonas Wellingham (in replacement of our back up drummer Ryan Harris). You can check out Jonas here on Youtube having a go at another Youtube members metal drumming lesson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcBgS7y4CVg&fmt=18.
So if you're a bassist around the Bristol/South Gloucestershire/Somerset area who can travel (maybe once every 2 weeks?) feel free to contact Zach on 07946256908 or email him on RealMusicGroup@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Zach :)

Guitar Tuner Guide (Free Download)
Zach had a problem with his laptop (the death of his soundcard :( ) and cannot spare the funds to repair it...for the 5th time? Anyways, he created a few audio files (in WAV) for his MP3 player so he can tune on the road and now he share's this creation with the world!
You may download it from:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I637DBYA
OR
http://www.sendspace.com/file/dqorea
Here is the read me included with the file:
"Thank you for downloading my tuning guide. I created this as I was sse to online guitar tuners and unfortunatly, my soundcard died and I no longer feel the need to get my laptop repaired (again!). So I though I'd make this for my MP3 player so I can tune on the go! Anyways I created this out of knowledge and help from google for myself and now you can too :)
If you'd like more tunings, feel free to email me at TuningGuide@ADireDispute.tkand make sure you check http://www.ADireDispute.tk for updates!
Thanks,
