InMe
An alt-metal band sometimes lumped in with the nu-metal crowd, Essex, England's InMe started out life as Drowned upon their formation in 1996. Finding out that an American Christian band had already taken that moniker, the shift was soon made to InMe, just in time to score a deal with label MFN in 2001. Eventually the band released its debut -- Overgrown Eden -- in 2003, which was bolstered by a series of moderate hit singles. Although InMe were riding a fairly sizable wave of popularity, they were dealt an irritating blow in 2004 when their label fell apart. Luckily for InMe, V2 was there, not only to sign them, but also to offer them a deal that allowed them space for their own label, Pandora's Box Records. A sophomore full-length was quickly issued in 2005. Entitled White Butterfly, it hit stores in two forms: one standard and another with a pair of bonus tracks. The following year saw the release of a live CD and DVD, both entitled Caught: White Butterfly. Although a few roster changes plagued the band, InMe soldiered on, and in 2007 released their third album, Daydream Anonymous. The rest of that year -- and 2008 -- would be spent recording new tracks, which eventually saw daylight as album number four, Herald Moth, released last year. The band now continuing to grow again are set to make big moves in 2010.
Also playing will be Conquer the Masses, Cadences, Halt Under Heavy Fire, This Months Confession + more tbc

History
Formation
Jarvis Anderson, Sam Martin, and Simon Katz met at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado (USA) Before long, the 3 of them quit school and moved to Echo Park, California to pursue a career in music. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, Luis Rosiles flew from Jarvis' hometown of Chicago to join the band as their drummer, and LA local Michael Bucher joined as bassist.
Signing to Mercury Records (2008)
After two years of playing in Southern California clubs, the band started receiving strong interest from a number of major record labels in the UK, as well as getting airplay from Jim Gellatly on Xfm Scotland. The band finally decided to sign with Mercury Records, but not before releasing their debut UK single "Violent & Young" on indie label Another Music = Another Kitchen on 2 June 2008 to critical acclaim.
The band's next single "In This City" was released in September and was identified as "an anthem in the making" by an NME blogger. This kicked a massive tour, seeing the band play over 120 shows in a span of 150 days in 17 countries. The band also performed on an episode of Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on BBC1 in the UK, helping "In This City" rise to number five in the UK charts, securing the band their first hit. An instrumental version of the song was also used as the theme tune for the Match Of The Day Goal of the Month competitions. NME featured the Band in over 15 different pieces prior to and after their controversial review of the album, including inviting the band to headline two dates on their NME Awards Tour. They also named them one of the "Twenty Bands Making America Cool Again." In regards to other press outlets the album and the band were a polarizing force, generating both glowing reviews and venomous criticism.
Support on this show comes from Politics, The Circus Electric, Skinless Finger and Secret Moves + more in room 2
