Mr. Irish Bastard

Irishman Mr. Irish Bastard, or that f@@@ing bastard, as he is fondly known to friend and foe alike, writes drink-drenched songs that capture the spirit of the country and the raw energy of his punk roots. It's rough, it's dirty and it's straight from the heart. The boys and girl have released "St. Mary's School of Drinking" and "The Bastard Brotherhood" in February 2008. The band is now going to hit the road, drink, party...

Los Salvadores

Los Salvadores started in 2004 when Marf’s experimental metal band Inside the Mind of Henry Holmes and Mafro’s ska punk outfit Morgan’s Puff Adder split up. Both had gigged extensively, and wanted a rest... a nice, low pressure band they could play with when they felt like it. So they found two other similarly lazy musicians, bass player Pete and saxophonist Patrick Jones. For the next six months, all four of them met up at the Sheppey Yacht Club and proceeded to do very little.

Armchair Martian

Self described as "Good guys, bad band." Armchair Martian is a Fort Collins, CO based punk-rock group with a strong Country Music influence. They are closely linked to Bad Astronaut and Drag the River, a seperate band, yet which features two current and one former member. The only two consistent members are Jon Snodgrass (guitar, vocals) and Paul Rucker (drums). It is a running joke in the band that their bassists never last long...
