Tronics were a post-punk band from London, fronted by Ziro Baby (more recently known as Zarjaz). Between 1979 and 1984 Tronics released four singles, a cassette, an LP and a flexi-disc. A brief flirtation with the "mainstream" indie scene culminated with a single on the Creation label. The band started in 1977 as a fairly standard thrash/punk outfit called the Gits with Ziro - styling himself Ronnie Git - joined by Rick Gregorson (gtr), Glenn Evans (drms) and Phil Anderson (bs).

Black Flag is an American hardcore punk band formed in 1976 in Hermosa Beach, California, United States, largely the brainchild of Greg Ginn, the guitarist, primary songwriter and sole continuous member through multiple personnel changes. Keith Morris was their original lead singer. He left the band suddenly in 1979 to form the well-known band, Circle Jerks. Ron Reyes was the second singer for the band, but decided to leave the band not too long after. Dez Cadena would be their next singer, but switched to second guitar when they found fourth and final singer Henry Rollins in Washington D.

FISTS have been writing and recording in various bedrooms and rehearsal spaces across Nottingham since 2006. Their noisy, joyful, occasionally ramshackle and always ferociously energetic live gigs display the FISTS sound in all its crisp, fresh, beautifully bruised glory. Sweet vocal harmonies, rich raw power; original, electrifying indie rock. FISTS have been picking up fans wherever they play thanks to a sound that intrigues, excites and never stops evolving and sprouting new life. The band has a tantalising and beguiling set of influences.

Influenced by bands such as Fugazi, Battles, Bronze, Maps and Atlases, Karate and others, these three guys end up with a sound that is best described as some sort of mixture between post- and mathrock. Forging different ideas and influences into songs, Six Hands sound like happy tunes to dance to. The new 2012 EP features a move to a faster pace, yet keeping the melodies at the center of the songs.
