Circus Act

Circus Act were a 3 peice from Southampton who played their own style of rocking melodic hardcore. They were often compared to bands such as Hot Water Music, Fugazi and Braid although they didn't really sound like any of them. They released two CD's on Milliepeed records; "No History, No Consequences" and "This Is Your Destination", and most recently, "Sleepwalking the Tightrope" on Nothing to Prove Records, probably the best record of their career. They split up in 2007 causing universal distress and unhappiness.

Citizens

There are two bands with this name: 1. Formed late 2008 in Manchester, UK, Citizens are pioneers of the new manchester not manchester sound. "Razor sharp post punk is the order of the day here with a dramatically distinctive guitar sound that prods and pushes songs into unexpected areas. Vocals boom and the bass is bombastic enough to turn each song into a danceable literate (see title 'we've read the books') diatribe. Original, dark and somewhat disturbing. And brilliant." - wearepowwow.blogspot.com

Rudiments

The Rudiments were considered the dark side of ska. They mixed heavy punk with a bit of ska. Signed to Dill Records (home of Skankin' Pickle) but broke up in '97. They came from the East Bay Ska/Punk scene and drew heavily from other bands utilizing the fusion of the two sounds like Operation Ivy and The Clash. Originally known as Los Rudiments, the band released 2 full albums and a split with the Suicide Machines, and had a compilation album re-released through Asian Man records.

The-Plan

The Plan was created in late 2004, but due to members leaving, new ones joining, they didn't really play any gigs.
It all began when (now ex-member) Dave and Keech (Vocalist, Guitar, and Trumpet) had just finished another band, and they decided to start a new band. Keech to Wayne (Bassist) online for a while before meeting him. Wayne could play guitar and was moving down to Canterbury in Kent, which is near Faversham (where the band is based). So they ended up getting him in.

We Are the Union

We Are The Union band based out of the metro Detroit area. With blazing tempos and melodic vocals, WATU's energy level is unsurpassable, both on recordings and live shows. With a plethora of influences, WATU creates a sound all their own. Starting with the release of WATU's newest EP, The Gun Show Must Go On, WATU has been signed to Paper+Plastick records.
