Bad Sports

Hailing from Denton, Texas, Bad Sports are a band whose music is a powerful fusion of punk rock velocity and attitude, hard rock guitar raunch, and power pop hooks. Influenced by old-school punk bands like the Ramones and the Buzzcocks as well as the '70s hard rock that's an unavoidable presence in their home town, Bad Sports feature Orville Neeley (also a member of OBN IIIs) on guitar and vocals, TV's Daniel Fried (who also plays in Wax Museums) on bass and vocals, and Gregory Rutherford (also doing double duty in Wax Museums) on drums.

Charlie B

Pop-rock sastav Charlie B osnovan je septembra 1992. godine u Novom Sadu. Osnivači Srđan Janković i Lazar Drecun odlučili su da okupe ekipu u želji da nastave tradiciju novosadskih pop bendova osamdesetih, a da ujedno pokušaju inkorporirati u taj zvuk uticaje bluza i soula, kao i jakih gitarskih rifova zaostalih iz vremena punk projekata u kojima su učestvovali. Na samom početku im se pridružuju bubnjar Saša Rangelov i basista Bojan Filipović i u toj postavi će bend funkcionisati naredne dve godine sve do prestanka rada 1994.

M.O.T.O.

MOTO stands for Masters Of The Obvious. Pretty much it's Paul and whoever is playing with him at the time. Some people think Paul's lyrics are too dirty but most people think they are funny. MOTO write songs that are catchy. That's all that really matters. It all got started in the early 80's in New Orleans. But then Paul moved somewhere else. MOTO have released dozens of albums, some cassette only, some CDs, some are little vinyl discs like this one. You've probably never heard of MOTO. It's a good thing that now you know.

Left Right Goodnight

A five piece pop punk band from Leeds! We've had the privilege to share the stage with such bands as Houston Calls, Farewell, Furthest Drive Home, Twin Atlantic, My Awesome Compilation, Failsafe, Clarkson and many more! "Frontman Mert knows exactly how to whip the crowd into a state where they're hanging on to every syllable he sings. Backed up by bandmates Danny, Liam, Tint and Mykey it's apparent that Left Right Goodnight could very swiftly become a force to be reckoned with on the UK live scene."
