Wasted Angels

"Decadent Rock ‘n’ Roll!" This is the name used by Wasted Angels to describe their own version of this loud, fast, infectious hard rock influenced by the likes of AC/DC, KISS, Thin Lizzy, Metallica and Dream Theatre. Originally formed in 2006 in Manchester, England, this is a band that sees no limit to their abilities. After a few changes to the line-up, the start of 2008 saw the final pieces of the puzzle fall into place and they haven’t looked back since.

Dressed in Wires

Firmly entrenched in the electronica hotbed of North England, Dressed in Wires takes laptop music and throws it into the ring with a DIY garage punk approach, using a CD full of cracked software and a cheap soundcard engineering an aesthetic from the dirty cheap sounds from dirty cheap equipment. Dressed In Wires making music that’s perfectly palatable and lovely, and making sounds that want to genuinely, physically kill people in the face.

That first year saw the quirky quartet release a new 13 track S/T CD and tour with such bands as ZOLOF THE ROCK AND ROLL DESTROYER, ARMY OF FRESHMEN, USELESS ID, THE DICKIES, RANDOM HAND and GUTTERMOUTH as well as performing alongside stalwarts of the UK punk rock scene – THE KING BLUES and SONIC BOOM SIX.
