HEADJAM
South London based 4 piece - Headjam play an original and individual mix of frantic dub beats spliced with metal/punk and anything else that comes to mind. We've always found it hard to describe our sound so if anyone else knows what it is - answers on a postcard please : )

THE PARODIES
The Parodies have been a band for almost 2 years now. They play a blend of Hardcore Punk and Ska and their songs have mainly political themes but they throw in the odd good times themed song just to mix it up a little.

2 SICK MONKEYS
2 Sick Monkeys formed in December 2000, as a live two piece bass and drums, primarily to support Darrin Mooney (Primal Scream) at a drum event in Swindon.
They have now played over 390 gigs (270 in the last 3 years) including 4 European tours.

BEAT THE RED LIGHT
Beat The Red Light are a band.
Sometimes they play heavy music, sometimes they play fast music, sometimes they play ska, sometimes they play music with brass in it.
Sometimes they do all four at once!!
