Slam Dunk Festival is by far the greatest day in a UK pop-punk fans year. It’s a one to keep on the calender, it’s a one to remember and look forward to – it’s a one to discuss where the nearest Nando’s is. With a lineup that beasts any previous years, we’ve got the cream of the UK crop, the 2008 Easycore Tour, reunions, acoustic one-offs, signings, DJ Sets, and of course, Millionaires all rolled into one. What more could you want for 25 quid?

Interview: The Ghost of a Thousand
June 1, 2009
Faye recently caught up with Andy Blyth (guitarist) from The Ghost of Thousand before their headline set at Slam Dunk in Leeds, on a delightful balcony under the blistering sun, where they discussed: new album, New Hopes, New Demonstrations; their upcoming UK tour; the UK hardcore scene; and, more importantly, the ‘T.G.O.A.T.’ initialism.
Faye: Hey, can you say you name and what you do in the band?
Andy: Hi, I’m Andy and I play guitar in The Ghost of A Thousand.
F: You’re playing Slam Dunk today and headlining the Dropdead stage, how does that feel?
A: Yeah, it’s good, it kind of feels a bit weird because we’ve played so many shows with bands below us on the bill, so it feels odd headlining. It’s nice to see friendly faces, and I’m looking forward to playing the show.
F: Have you been able to watch anyone?
A: I’ve watched a little bit of some bands, I’ve watched Ruiner and that was pretty awesome. That’s about it, I’ve been busy doing merch and press and stuff, so I haven’t had the chance to watch that many bands, but I will be watching as much as I can. I watched a bit of Outcry Collective, that was well good.
F: So, you haven’t had the chance to go to the Babycakes bar yet?
A: Nah, getting around anywhere is a nightmare, there’s torrents of children. [laughs]

Live Review: Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds Uni, May 24th 2009 (Faye)
May 28, 2009
After spending hours in the sweltering heat, harassing bands and folk in the queue for on-the-spot interviews, as well as handing out D.I.Y. changetherecord.net ‘business cards’ in the form of notepad paper written in biro, accumulating some attractive sun burn and getting fat off essential pre-gig food (Morrison’s mini-doughnuts) along the way, 3pm finally arrived and doors opened. Holy run-on sentence.

Live Review: Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds Uni, May 24th 2009 (George)
May 28, 2009
People have literally camped overnight for this one, Slam Dunk is bigger than ever, expanding to 6 stages and a DJ set bar now, and this one is packed out with lots of different colours, (and bands mingling in and out, Sean Smith of the Blackout’s hair sticks out like a sore thumb) and the excitement is ecstatic as people rush to their chosen stages for the day.

Live Review: Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds Uni, May 24th 2009 (Ryan)
May 27, 2009
Well, 20 degrees outside and not a cloud in the sky, this sunny afternoon in Leeds promised to be quite the event. Meeting many bands beforehand and soaking in the excitement of the fans lying in wait, it is plain to see that the sweltering heat isn’t going to dampen today’s exploits. 5000 people are piled into the university today, and although breathing space was at a minimum, the atmosphere was undeniable.
