The Pins

There are at least two bands with the name The Pins: 1) Energy, melody, and solid song-writing - these are intrinsic elements of The Pins. Listeners are inevitably compelled to hum a Pins song long after listening to it, like a sweet after taste to a satiating meal. The Pins bring new life to the traditional guitar, bass, and drums line-up; they have an astounding talent for creating a distinct, full sound without the use of any additional instruments.

One listen to the masters of the road El Caco and the smell of hot leather and burning rubber will return with vengeance. These Norwegian road bandits have the ability to grasp the finer elements of their influences and mould them into their own diverse sound.

Dead IDentities

Dead IDentities believe a song isn't worth playing if its not loud and fast with a sing a long chorus. After playing many shows across the UK as the Drop Out Kids, followed by a short break, a new band was formed. During live shows Dead IDentities put in as much energy as a small nuclear bomb going off with enough sweat to get everyone wet. Dead IDentities will leave your ears ringing and your head spinning...

The Zen Hussies

If it's 'goodtime swingska boogaloo' you need to give you extra pep towards the end of the night, look no further than the boundary-decimating Zen Hussies. No strangers to playing stamina-sapping five hour sets, imagine The Specials playing film noir soundtracks while wearing the widest of grins. As Venue Magazine put once proclaimed, The Hussies are "born showmen with one eye on the absurd play songs that lodge in the head like well-aimed bullets"
