"It's really worth getting to see these guys" - Punkarolla

Influences include The Ruts, Wire, Magazine, Black Flag, Fugazi, Killing Joke.

"Powerful yet melodic... this lot would be well received up Blackpool on the Rebellion line up" - Lights Go Out

The songs - apart from one cover that pops up in the live set from time to time - are original.

"A brilliant band... full of energy... a really cool post-punk feel" - New Music Saturday

Formed in Reading (UK) in 2015 from the embers of punk/pop band Nancy Johnson, the change of name mirrored a development from the frat-boy approach of Nancy Johnson to a more edgy and aggressive sound.

Since 2016 the band has gigged at multiple venues in Reading, Basingstoke, Oxford, Guildford, High Wycombe, Kingston, London, Brighton, Chatham, Southampton, St Albans, Colchester and Cirencester, releasing their first EP, Cops and Robbers, in January 2017.

"Quality stuff" - IssuePunkZine

In 2018 they toured France, released their second EP, Flat Earth Theory, followed by an eponymous full-length CD-only album that collects all their recorded work so far, including remixes and material not released elsewhere.

New recording are planned for late 2018/early 2019.

SNÖWHITE (at the time known as "Snow White") was originally conceived in 2014 by friends James Smith and Zach Salvini due to their love of all things heavy and melodic. The first step from there was finding somewhere to practise so the pair converted Zach's Dad's garden shed into a permanent rehearsal space with sound proofing and full PA/musical equipment. The band's lines were a little thin so existing friend and former band mate Zak Dagger was brought on-board to take up the drummer's throne. The band wanted to write anthemic tracks, get out on the scene and gig but after many auditions for singers it was proving tough. The trio continued to work on songs but the ongoing hunt for a lead singer kept things in limbo.

In late 2017 Kris Law of former bands Panikk Attakk and Broken Device auditioned for the guys after hearing about them through a mutual friend, Srdjan Bilic from Primitai. Finally some of the songs were coming together with Kris adding not only his vocals but rhythm guitar into the mix to broaden the sound. No time has been wasted so far and SNÖWHITE recorded their first 3 track EP: "Too Late To Stop" in February 2018 at Outhouse Studios in Reading, Berkshire, UK with producer and multi intrumentalist John Mitchell (from FROST and It Bites to name just two) in the producers chair. The story begins...This ain't no fairy tale. E

Broken Device are a hard rock band formed in Camberley, Surrey in February 2016. the four members have been in various bands over the years but gravitated towards each other for their love of music, rock n’ roll and desire to entertain not only themselves but audiences far and wide. Their influences are broad but taking many queues from legends such as Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Audisoslave, Motley Crue and so many more to mention, Broken Device take their own brand of hard rocking melodic riffs add some metal influences and drive it home with killer hooks and vocals. They released their first EP in December 2016, 'Rampant Robot' to very positive reviews and great feedback from their fans – they have been earmarked as the next “FREE” by some reviewers. Give Broken Device an evening of your time and they will give you a memorable night of powerful rock to get your blood pumping!
