Toy Dolls are an English punk rock band formed in 1979. While much punk rock is political or angry, Toy Dolls worked within the esthetics of punk to express a sense of fun, with songs such as "Yul Brynner Was A Skinhead", "My Girlfriend's Dad's A Vicar" and "James Bond Lives Down Our Street."

Stormzone is a hard rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The band was formed in 2004 by ex Sweet Savage, Emerald and Den Of Thieves vocalist John “Harv” Harbinson when asked to support Danger Danger at the Empire Music Hall, Belfast.

With the success of the Danger Danger gig, more support slots followed for bands such as Danny Vaughn and Jeff Scott Soto.
