Robes Of State was formed late 2006 by Jezza Bruce & Perry Batty. After trial periods with a bunch of instrumentalists, Dave Huds joined as the bands bassist October 2006. The band performed at over 40 pubs and clubs in North Wales over 4 years, in which time the band teamed up with singer Stuart Cross on multiple occasions and also worked with singer songwriter Tim Thackray. In 2010 the band added 2 new members. Hef Roberts & Matty Wafer. They expect to make their first L.P available this Fall.

Navvy are a 4 piece group from Sheffield. Keith plays bass and sings; Claire sings and plays percussion and keyboards; Marie plays the drums and Daf plays the guitar. The band formed in 2006 from the ashes of several underground Sheffield bands, and their first session with Pulp's erstwhile producer Alan Smyth resulted their debut E.P. called "4 Songs By Navvy". Navvy's sound is sometimes angular and ferocious and sometimes poppy. Their songs are usually concerned with longevity and dysfunction.

Siiiii were born in early 1983 when singer Paul, then only 19, moved from his native East Anglia to Sheffield purely to be in the band, joining guitarist Mark, and bassist Ange. Taking their name from William Burroughs' "The Soft Machine" they gigged extensively during the early to mid 1980's and possibly hold the record for the amount of times they were nearly signed to record labels. Siiiii disbanded in 1986 and the members went their separate ways. Mark went on to play with the Anti-Group and Paul became involved in The Niceville Tampa (now Niceville) and then DVO in South Wales.
