Sweet Black Angels

Sweet Black Angels: Born out of frustration at the so called “English music scene” and the music industry in general, geared more towards manufactured boy/girl groups with low overheads and fast cash returns. With less chance of recognitions for true musicians and songwriters, the band felt compelled to try and re-establish what this country used to be famed for.

We are five friends who came together to make music that we believe in, that we could share with others and maybe open their eyes to a different way of living or question the things we are led to believe. We sing about social issues such as jealousy, judgement, boredom and how in the big scheme of things, money, work and materialistic things just aren’t that important.

Without sacrificing good melody for coolness, we want to reach as many people as possible and help them realise that you don’t have to get caught up in the system and that you can achieve what you believe in.

We want to bring it to the attention of the world that nothing is written in stone, that no-one should govern the path you follow, that life should be full of venture and looked back upon with fulfilment and not regret…

Don’t be disturbed…

The Melon Thieves

The Melon Thieves have been around since 1997 in one form or another, now we’re back with the original singer and lead guitarist and now line up with Tim on lead vocals and lead guitar, Nick on lead guitar and backing vocals, Jamie on bass and rhythm guitar and “H” on drums. Our basic style is good old fashioned rock with punk attitude, original punk that is not the “New Punk”, playing mainly our own stuff but also some covers from bands like The Clash, The Levellers, New Model Army, Stiff Little Fingers to name but a few.

The Prospects

The Prospects started two and a half years ago and were formed by the drummer
Rich. Although Rich assembled the band they all take equal roles and responsibilities.
The band play a large range of rock covers such as Red Hot Chillli Peppers, Electric Six, Motorhead, Free, The White Stripes, Oasis and Franz Ferdinand.
They have also penned lots of their own songs which all vary in the style and are very popular at their gigs. they have had many gigs over the last few years, both public venues and at private parties. They have achieved first place twice and second place once in the Battle of the bands Competition.

Reckless Princess

Local female singer/songwriter, combining alternative/acoustic/folk/jazz.
Mix of originals and covers. With support from other local musicians.

Beerd

BEERD were formed in the late part of 2002. There were only three members to start with who were Jake, Alex and Tom H. They played a few things here and there at School but when fourth member Tom P joined about a three months later the Beerd line-up was complete. Their mission is to bring back the best type of music: hard rock, into the mainstream like Britain’s glory days in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

Beerd already have a few songs available online (www.myspace.com/beerd1) and have recorded an E.P. called Tyrannosaurus Sex. The whole E.P. will be available online soon enough but also on the way is the new debut album called Blood, Sweat and Beerd.

Sounds like: A kind of modern Thin Lizzy………
