The Q

'The Q are avid, spirited, classy and all-round entertaining. Bag fills of verve, vigour and vitality and bloody brilliant music writers. They clearly value originality. Their sound, in their own words: "if Spike Milligan, Doctor Who and Keith Richards lived together and threw a house party"...couldn't have put it better myself.'
Recommended Track: 'Powder Rooms'

The band consists of Mike Whittaker aged 19 on bass and vox, Chris Langeland - aged 19 on guitar, Marcus Volkert - aged 17 on the other git and Will Pattenden - aged 18 who smashes stuff.

Soundays

It all started when four friends got together and formed a band to escape the boring stereotypes of the local music scene. The clear, sunny Californian seacoast 60’s garage rock influence, mixed up with a fresh English pop flavour makes Soundays a music revelation - and one of the most exciting new bands in Latin America. In 2008 Soundays entered the studio to record the songs for their first demo "Riot", produced by Emilio Acosta. In April that year, the first single “Gipsy Love” came out and later that October, the band released the full 5-song demo.

The Perils

The Perils In these troubled times of economic recession and downturn – like Batman and The Boy Wonder – this hi-octane Brighton 4 piece, known as The Perils, have come to our rescue and provided the perfect antidote. Their first feat of heroism comes in the shape of their debut single “Be Your Peril” to be released March 11th. Already gaining the attention from the likes of BBC 6music’s Tom Robinson, the single creates the perfect platform for the band’s forthcoming album of hook laden rock: “Good People Do Bad Things”, out April 13th on Militant Entertainment.
