Update: Zia Regime now at No. 4 in the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Buzz Chart

Derry’s Zia Regime are among the early front-runners in the Red Bull Bedroom Jam 2011 with their track ‘Solitaire’ now at No. 4 on the competition Buzz Chart.

Citing Down, Biffy Clyro and Mastodon as their key influences, the five-piece progressive rock outfit have already caused a stir locally with their debut The Idea Of Me EP.

Also in the Red Bull reckoning are Dublin three-piece The Kapitals whose Take Everything EP was recently afforded Hot Press ‘Single of the Fortnight’ status.

The Red Bull Bedroom Jam will also have a stage again at this year’s Camden Crawl, which takes place in London’s rocking-ist borough from April 30 to May 1.

If you’ve never been on the Crawl you’re definitely missing out with 250 acts playing across 50 venues.
