The Blue Carpet Band - Powerhouse five-piece garage punk rock'n'rollers based in North London. Like classic blues-rock proponents such as The Yardbirds and early Rolling Stones mixing it up with early New York punk, The Cramps and The Stooges.

Tear Up - We are admittedly the worst Oi! Band in the country with our smash mouth hooligan Oi! rock n roll and f*ck you attitude. Debut album is imminent.

Slow Faction - A 1st generation-influenced 4 piece punk band with a real London 77 sound. Their live sound has been described as a cross between The Clash and The Buzzcocks.

BKS - Tasty London Hardcore. Diving, Slamming, Writing, Touring and scheming! BKS is more of a CBGB Sunday Matinee type of band where they are throwing things back to a more clean hardcore style
