Sotatila

You'd think this was 1983 and you're listening to a slab of excellent Scandinavian hardcore that was so prevalent in those days. Sung in Finnish, Sotatila assaults you with an explosion of D-beat that has strong elements of early bands like Tampere SS, Kaaos, Riistetyt, Mob 47 and comparable to some "newer" acts like Rajoitus, Ääritila, or Decontrol.

Weebl

Weebl, (real name Jonti Picking) owner of www.weebls-stuff.com, is a comedic flash animator/musician. Most of his jokes are completely random, or deal with pie in some way. Weebl created the "Weebl and Bob" series of flash animations, which consist of two egg-like objects, a large one named Weebl, and a smaller one named Bob. They talk incoherently, but this problem is fixed with speech bubbles. They have bad grammar (e.g. "You bringed back pie!").

Heck Tate

Heck Tate are a five piece band from London. Formed in 2007, they take the contrariness of 70s prog, the energy of 80s hardcore, the big riffing of 90s metal, and the legitimacy of 00s pop, and put it all together to form one pretentious bio. They are regular performers on the London live circuit, and whatever provincial towns will have them, with a live show that has drawn such glowing comments as "high octane alt-metal", "pure energy" and "you've got one more song then we're cutting the power".
