MiSLeD is a 4 piece Hardcore outfit hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa. (They are NOT from New Orleans.) Formed in 2001 with Dave Casey who moved on to fulfill other ventures and Steph joined in 2002, the bands line-up remains unchanged as does their commitment to churning out good ol’ fashioned energetic music
Still Thinking was known for their fast paced new school Durban punk rock. They played in the Pretoria and Joburg on a regular basis. And Burn on several occasions, The Nile Crocodile, Boogie Nights, Thrashers Skatepark and Woodstock(SA) to name a few. They played with bands such as Fuzigish, Leek and the bouncing Uptones, Skirtbox (U.K.), Five Iron Frenzy (U.S.A.) and many others.
They released a demo cd and an EP called "Less is More." Early in 2001 at Dog Ears Studio (Westville). They were invited to play the venue Bargo's with top international punk act 'Strung Out' in September that year which never took place because of the September 11 tragedy.
ContraMundi was a wannabe melodic punk band with screaming in all the wrong places. The band was based in Cape Town and only ever played shows in the area. Their style had some elements of Folk, Ska, Metal, and old school Anarcho Punk but mostly fits in (i think) with the kind of melodic male/female vocaled Pop Punk bands you would find on Plan-it-X Records.
Although unnamed at the time, ContaMundi was originally ‘started’ by Shaun Richards (Rhythm Guitar,Vocals) and Jean-Paul Fickk (Lead Guitar), who jammed songs they had written, occasionally with the help of Jeremy Norman (Drums,Vocals). The band officially formed in 2007, with the addition of Hannah Molyneux (Bassist,Vocals)
Lyrics involved: Animal Rights, being residentially challenged, being picked on, feeling alone, Eskom(the largest producer of electricity in Africa and the monopoly holder in South Africa)...apples ...and the fuck heads at CapeNature.(nature conservation ass holes who for ages have been on a kill everything not indigenous to cape town mission even though everything they have targeted has been there for hundreds of years and has become a crucial part of the ecosystem, or is an endangered species!? EG. Cape Town's Table Mountain was also home to descendents of ancient Himalayan mountain goats, called Tahrs, which are nearly extinct in their native Himalayas. But the agency that oversees Table Mountain's wildlife eliminated the area's population of tahrs. They have also done really stupid shit like putting poisons into the river systems to kill non-indigenous fish... disregarding the fact that indigenous fish/frogs are in the rivers and that the people from the neighbouring squatter camps also use the water...)
