Shut Up And Dance

Shut Up And Dance - british breakbeat pioneers from scratch. Started with Hip Hop tunes and set up a soundsystem with DJ Hype but soon they integrated House and Techno influences and sped up the beats. With Reinforced SUAD could count as inventors of UK Hardcore. Early classics like Lamborghini, 10 Pounds To Get In, Greenman, The Art Of Moving Butts or the famous Raving I'm Raving saved them a place in the Hall Of Fame of UK Hardcore. After having problems with several unauthorized samples their own label "Shut Up And Dance" disappeared - but rose again from the dust in the last few years.

The Transpersonals

Bristol-based 3-piece comprising Tim Hurford, Luke Barter and Matt Bane, playing their own brand of cosmic psychedelia. '60's garage...somewhere between The Sonics and The Beach Boys' - Gimme Shelter. 'Garage is all about those individual two-and-a-half minute wonders and TP have them aplenty' - Venue Magazine. EP released on itunes in october. ‘Hello Hello’ is a psych-tinged, tongue-in-cheek Surf-Pop ditty and a mighty catchy little number, whilst the truly mentally ill ‘Silver Star’ features the definitely not mentally ill Katey Brooks as guest-vocalist.

The Brilliant Corners

At long last a band is being recognised for the influence it has had without the commercial acclaim that some of their songs deserved.
This seminal Bristol band consisted of a nucleus of Chris Galvin (bass) and David Woodward (vocals and guitars) with Bob Morris (drums) plus various others during their ten years of existence.
Through various styles they created a unique Bristol slant on the 80's which was never deemed glamorous by the press or music gliterrati in general. Some may say that the Bristol scene was insular but it was really about being yourself and getting on with things.
