The Deadlines

Darkwave garage rockers The Deadlines came together with their love of pulsating rock growling and eyeliner in 1998, all in an effort to redefine the state of music. Frontman Shaun Sundholm was bored with music, therefore he and drummer Jeremy Atrick and guitarist Sammy Lugosi formed to play around with elements of glam rock and punk. Thomas Demise was brought on board to play bass when The Deadlines revamped for more of a rock-based growl, whereas keyboardist the Creature completed the five-piece.

Fletch Cadillac

Fletch Cadillac formed in the early months of 2004 by brothers Ben & Joe with long time friend and drinking buddy Dov. The threesome, from Norwich, UK, have combined the newer modern punk rock sounds and attitudes with the classic old school LA punk sound taking influence from the likes of Social Distortion and Dead Kennedys. Add this to the band's love of the 1950s Hot Rod scene, Drive in B-movies and Classic Americana dating back as far as they can remember, Fletch Cadillac have created a genre between "Horror" Punk and Psychobilly- and call it " music for driving a hot rod to hell"
