Indeed, Steve has been actively involved in music since 1980. Sighting musical differences, Steve left The Sharks to pursue his destiny with Frenzy.

Emily Breeze

With her psychobilly bad-girl vibe Bristol girl Emily Breeze "comes on like Elvis, Nick Cave and Patti Smith playing a baptist preacher all rolled into one. Her striking bequiffed persona rocks, swaggers and plays holy southern hell out of a beautiful white guitar. Along with her partners in crime, drummer Dan and bassist John, she "plays songs of love and faillure with more sweat and energy than a hundred simpering indie boy bands," says Artrocker magazine. Stool Pigeon says they can be "schlocky, silly, derivative" but at the same time "bloody brilliant".

Tight Fitting Pants

Every song is speaking about love (in fact about feelings, sex or porn). As usual Tight Fitting Pants are singing love stories, using obscene lyrics and various jokes! 12 funny songs, catchy, fast and melodic. A mix between Punkrock and Psychobilly. Tight Fitting Pants are a 4piece psychobilly band playing since 2002. Their music is fast, punky and melodic. Since the beginning, they choose to speak about love and sex, instead of death and zombies as a proper psychobilly band. Maybe because they wanted to create something new, or maybe because they’re real perverts….
