Humanfly

psychedelic post-Hardcore band turned prog merchants - HUMANFLY - Formed in the early part of the decade, the band offer epic, metallic journeys through huge heaviness and Floyd esq atmospherics. Vocals are used sparingly, focusing primarily on building thematically through the music. The recent CD release of II by US label 20 Buck Spin has introduced Humanfly to a larger audience and the band are ready to record their third album, which is gonna kick the shit out of everyone.

Last gang in town

LAST GANG IN TOWN were formed in the autumn of 2006 following an inspired internet search by bass player Gary. Four, like-minded blokes, strangers, living miles apart, but with 100% commitment and a real passion for Punk music, came together to form a band they'd always wanted to be a part of...an 'authentic' 70's Punk tribute band covering Punk classics by Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, Dead Kennedys, The Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, The Ruts, UK Subs, Sham 69 and more..... music we grew up with.
