Rock is well and truly alive following the forth successful gig promoted by Dean Archer. With another 3 awesome bands showcasing their talents to the knowledgeable that's growing from strength to strength. First up were one of Hertfordshire's best kept secrets "Rising Tide". Hailing from Hitchin, this 5 piece Hardcore Band whipped the crowd into a tidal wave of frenzy leading into their tsunami, guest vocalist Johnathan Gaskin on stage while lead singer Mickael Hunter surfed among the crowd.

The night was still young, just like "Sons of Icarus" who flew in from Guildford, Andy Masson - Vocals/Guitar, Steve Balkwill - Guitar, Aex Masson - Bass/Backing Vocals and Mike 'Quilly' Mcquillan - Drums are currently riding high amongst the up n coming Rock acts in the UK supporting the likes of Black Stone Cherry, Vintage Trouble, Black Spiders, Rival Sons, Hayseed Dixie, The Answer, The Virginmarys and Orange Goblin as well as opening slots at Download and Sonisphere Festivals in 2011. A 45 minute set that had the crowd claiming they'd seen the best band at The Rock Den so far.

So the mark had been set for Northampton Rockers "Still Remains UK", lead by Andy Green Guitar/Vocals, Miles Goodman Guitar, Andy Pace Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals and Ethan D - Drums. This four piece ripped through an hour long set of their own original material from 20 years plus a few good Motorhead and Thin Lizzy covers thrown in for good measure. Andy's vocals were  outstanding, his guitar playing electric. Miles Goodman played like he was taunting the devil. To date they Still Remain the best band to grace the Rock Dens stage.
