Lost In Colour

WE ARE LOST IN COLOUR
We finalised our line in March 2009 and havn't looked back since. We began as a three piece under a different name precisely a year ago and we have met some wicked people, played some wicked shows all across the UK, with some wicked bands and some how crammed a tiny venue with 400 people who witnessed our second show under the name Lost In Colour. We were lucky enough to work with producer Jason Wilcock (You Me At Six, Fightstar) at Stakeout Studios on our new track 'Stay Awake Tonight' and we plan to return and record more of our new material.

Glow Kit

Garage-pop or punk-powerpop? Glow Kit don’t gamble on horses – the aesthetics here are dirty, catchy and hard-hitting. In a time when the term ‘pop music’ is luckily no longer a curse word among picky music lovers, we need musicians who know how to write a good pop song. No matter what genre or style this melody relates to! In this case, the Aarhus, Denmark duo devise a blend of / / that draws on inspiration from musicians such as The Beat, Black Lips, the late Jay Reatard and others.

The Unruly Gentlemen

The Unruly Gentlemen are a Watford based ska band. The band came together for the first time just before Christmas 2006 to play some covers to get a feel for playing together. After recruiting James Parry to play the saxophone, Dean, Eddie P, Struan Tyrrell, Elise and Adam Sleeman were The Unruly Gentlemen. Unfortunately they had trouble with that goal. With an ex-saxophone player who didn't turn up for practice (and even one gig!) and a malicious drama department that kept stealing their lead singer away their gigs have, at times, been somewhat erratic, but always excellent fun.
