Westcoast Whippers

Westcoast Whippers! GET ME SOME PSYCHEDELIC, TIGHT SLAPBASS PUNK-A-BILLY SHIT AND FAST!!!!! Westcoast Whippers: Al Right, you wacky’s! Listen: There were young two men from Lieto, Finland, - Guitarist/Singer Tero Kohtamäki and Slap-bass player Jukka Nurmi, who've been friends for a lifetime. Those 20-year-old boys found a drummer, Arto Korhonen, and hallelujah! They got a band, nominated and christened: PAIN IN ARSE, formed in late 1991. A raw sounding punk-a-billy trio, real honest thing, honeys! Our music was essentially pure evergreen Rock-a-billy, intermixed with straight punk.

PowerSolo

What do you think of when you hear the name "PowerSolo"? 'Round Denmark way, the moniker apparently conjures the trash-rock psychobilly legacy of Hasil Adkins, the Cramps, and Southern Culture on the Skids. Powersolo may be a power trio, but in this case, the prog-metal acrobatics of rush are replaced with something they call "donkey punk." Two tremolo-loving chicken-scratch, rail-thin guitarists Kim Kix and Atomic Child. And drummer J.C.

The Despondents

After becoming disillusioned with their hometown of Leeds and its fame-obsessed music scene (particularly following the mainstream success of fame-chasers The Kaiser Chiefs), The Despondents formed in the summer of 2006. Taking their cues from punk bands past and present their aim is to bring us short sharp garage punk tunes that hit you like an atom bomb. And boy do they deliver. Shuddering basslines, screeching guitars, insane vocals and a drummer who makes Keith Moon seem like a choirboy! Each song is filled with its own self belief and expectation.

Band founders Patricia Day and Kim Nekroman first met when Day's now-defunct band, the punk rock group Peanut Pump Gun, opened for Nekroman's psychobilly band, Nekromantix, at a festival in Cologne, Germany in 1996. Despite both belonging to the subculture scene of Copenhagen, Denmark, the two had never met before, but they became friends over their mutual interest in alternative music. The two would eventually marry.
