Old Man Markley

An amalgam of LA’s finest punk bands and seasoned bluegrass musicians, Old Man Markley is creating music that defies boundaries and transcends genres. Founded in 2007 in the sunny San Fernando Valley, OMM cut its teeth playing countless jams of bluegrass standards and covers of distinctly un-bluegrass songs done bluegrass style. Soon, out of the chaos grew original material that combined everything the band loved about all the different styles of music the members grew up playing and writing. The band played its first official show in 2008 at a small bar called the Old Towne Pub in Pasadena.

Eastfield

Eastfield have been the number one puryeyors of "rail punk" since 1996 . Formed in Birmingham, UK, they combine an unashamed love of first generation BR diesel power with good punk ethics (animal rights, real ale, etc)and a healthy dose of self depreciation. Their lyrics are a mix of the satirical, ironic and angry delivered with a biting sense of humour. Live or recorded their guitar/drum driven sound provides a Rail Freight worthy tonnage of in your face punk sound with clear vocals that are worth listening to.
