Eastfield
Eastfield have been the number one puryeyors of "rail punk" since 1996 . Formed in Birmingham, UK, they combine an unashamed love of first generation BR diesel power with good punk ethics (animal rights, real ale, etc)and a healthy dose of self depreciation. Their lyrics are a mix of the satirical, ironic and angry delivered with a biting sense of humour. Live or recorded their guitar/drum driven sound provides a Rail Freight worthy tonnage of in your face punk sound with clear vocals that are worth listening to.

Weddings Parties Anything
Weddings Parties Anything, often known as WPA and Weddoes, is an Australian folk rock band formed by Mick Thomas in Melbourne in 1985 and continuing until 1998. Their name came from a Clash song ("Revolution Rock") and musicologist Billy Pinnell described their first album as the best Australian rock debut since Skyhooks' Living in the '70s. WPA initially gained a reputation as a hot new band through their constant touring in their early days, however they never really became a commercial success.
