All the Bands

  • The

    This trio from west London play high-energy, no-nonsense rock'n'roll

  • The

    Hand picked from the cream of washed up child stars and inbred royals, with their tailored cut of nervously stitched rock and roll, this swamp of degenerate apes beat the Jesus out of the art of ability, like Cole Porter's bastard child after a night on the tiles, it throbs and pummels, it doesn't stand and wait, it lurches at you like a drunken uncle. A visceral soup of subtle innuendo and palatable bad taste.

  • Medway's premier league 1977 punk band have been bashing out all manner of punk rockery since 1991. Back in action with a freshened-up band and better than ever, they are belting out the finest old school punk classics alongside new classics of their own making. Resist their albums "Urinal Heep" and "Top Of The Plops" at your peril. Do you dare to miss the authentic sound of the suburbs as Dick Scum and chums leer in your face and veer your brain cells towards the inevitable cider and glue apocalypse? It's punk and it's rock, it's punk rock.

  • The

    NME says they're a "dirty, scuzzy garage-rock band whose songs sound like they were actually recorded in a shed in Detroit by Nick Zinner from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs... Tunes that make us want to neck a bottle of Jack Daniels, turn up the stereo and shake it like a Polaroid picture."

  • Batrider sound like a grainy 16mm black and white snuff movie of Courtney Love going hard at it on PJ Harvey with a whisky bottle. Their punk-grunge noise is a slick, ugly, powerful creature that, once it sinks its claws in, refuses to let go…

  • With his latest combo, The Musicians of the British Empire, Billy carries on his tradition of home made punk and rhythm and blues, singing odes to Joe Strummer and nodding to The Who, whilst showing the next generation what a real rock ’n’ roll group sounds like.

  • Straight outta Nashville and self styled vagrants of the world The Black Diamond Heavies sound like a freight train derailing and rock twice as hard, a unique punk blues pairing of drums and keys only or as they put it skin and bone. Imagine the ghosts of John Bonham and Ray Charles jamming Fat Possum's back catalogue in hell with Tom Waits on vocals and you're half way there...

  • Featuring former members of the Action Time and the Hotwires, Black Time indulge their love for underground LA punk legends Crime and obscure, mostly forgotten DIY punk 45s, mixed in with the Cramps and early Fall.

  • The

    These garage rockers from Buffalo, New York are "experts at making stripped-down and basic sounds vital and exciting"..."a sweat-soaked blues frenzy that has the urgency of an ambulance careening along back-alley streets with a man on the brink inside"

  • The

    On tour with the Black Diamond Heavies, these garage-rocking boys hail from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Their latest album, "Songs for the Disenfranchised:, comprises ten brutally good and deceptively intricate songs dripping with snaky Southern guitar work, crunchy and crushing rhythms, and tastefully twangy vocal hooks that would make the Drive-By Truckers proud.

  • The

    Multi-instrumentalist with Big Boss Man, the Bonglian, has put together a band to realise his spaced-out funky latin soul in a live environment.

  • The

    These German ladies bash out heart and soul-poppin’ sonic nuggets using vintage equipment and with classic garage and punk influences but the noise they make is very much NOW!

  • The

    Former bassist with Thee Exciters and his Swedish-based raucous garage/R&B band. Their second single, "You Got The Hurt", is out now on Dirty Water Records and an album will follow soon.

  • The

    What would have happened if The Knack had more than one hit? They may have sounded like The Breakdowns!

  • Take a bit of Max's Kansas City New York sleaze and mix it in with the primeval brutality of iggy & the Stooges, the seedy glamour of 1970s glitter-trash and the caveman stomp of sixties garage rock and you've got a group that's on a take-no-prisoners rock'n'roll mission.

  • The

    Mike Spenser says, "The first time the Cannibals and Nomads played together it was the Nomads supporting the Cannibals in Stockholm, in about 1984 (I think!). And now we are glad to return the favour, and play homage to a great surviving band, who should be looked up as one of the first and finest Scandinavian garage bands. It will be a great pleasure to warm up the crowd with a few suprises from an "authentic" Cannibals line up as we wind down after returning from a Japanese tour. This will just be a short, short set so come down early!"

  • North London's best kept secret and purveyors of the patented "N7 Action Sound", Cee Cee Beaumont swagger their way through rousing, brutish instrumentals that tell tales of vehicle misery, fighting and unnatural disasters in an around the Holloway Road.

  • Originally formed during those heady days of the punk rock era, they made their debut in Guildford in 1976, and soon found themselves being written about by the likes of NME - in which they were held up alongside the likes of Wreckless Eric, John Otway, Tom Robinson and Elvis Costello. Delivering "more than a performance, an experience" (Sounds), Clayson and the Argonauts were a very "happening" group, "in a premier position on rock's lunatic fringe" (Melody Maker).

  • The

    This Atlanta band blast off like a time-warped transistor radio, offering a static-free and endlessly energetic hybrid of real rock'n'roll, storming blues, and raging punk.

  • Catchy punk rock'n'roll in the spirit of '77 featuring former members of Spain's La Broma de Ssatan and The Pleasure Fuckers, their lyrics are sour and twisted but with a sense of humour.
