The Hip Priests

Formed in May 2006 from the ashes of near legendary Nottingham Garage heroes the X-Rays and London Punk ‘n’ Rollers The Divine Brown, The Hip Priests are the inbred backward bastard sons of Iggy, Johnny T, Hank von Helvete, Lemmy, and Handsome Dick. The ‘Priests, as their already rabid UK disciples like to affectionately call them, are an awesome, gloriously tangled mess of Rampantly sexual, Souped up, Lubed up, Fucked up, High action, Hot Assed Anthemic Sweat Sodden Rock 'n' Roll. A sweet 'n sweaty sonic tonic to accompany your recreational drinkin, druggin and fuckin'.

G.U. Medicine

G.U. Medicine are a tight gang of hard drinking scoundrels who also play heavy rock music very loudly and often way too fast. Formed with the intention of getting free booze for playing music G.U. recorded their 1st L.P in 2004 released through the excellent Undergroove label. Imaginatively titled "G.U. Medicine", the album received rave reviews in the music press both in the U.K and Elsewhere. Other drinkers were quick to jump on the (badly driven) bandwagon and The Medicine recorded sessions for BBC Radio 1's Rock Show and Ian Camfield's XFM show.

Ferocity Lights

Ferocity Lights came into being in January 2008. Put together by Charlie Gray (vocals/bass), Marilyn Ford (guitar/vocals) & James Lucken (drums) they jumped straight into writing. By May 2008 they had recorded an EP with Pat Collier - with the songs sounding as urgent as they were written. Ferocity Lights are a mixture of influences with the result being music that they want to hear. Very much a rock band but trying not to stick to one particular sound.
