Inter

Inter was a British band active in the late 1990s and closely associated with the post-britpop pop punk scene. The band was formed in late 1995, with the lineup of Michael Boylan, Steven Bray and Johnny Gill. Martin 'Sid' Stovold, who had been helping the band out at rehearsals, joined soon after. The ethic of the band was, from the start, to appear spontaneous on-stage, whilst still being musically tight.

Tramp Attack

Through a mutual love of good music and cheap booze, Tramp Attack were formed on the cusp of the millenium in the cauldron of depravity known as 16 Earl Road. Founder member and chief songwriter Matt Barton joined forces with housemates Ian Lane (drums) and Chris Marshall (bass) along with Barry Southern (lead guitar) to make music to put a tap in the toes and a glow in the bellies of boys and girls of all ages.

Pint Shot Riot

Once upon a time in the West Midlands, four lads who liked to play a bit of music decided to play a bit together. At first things went well and all four were happy. After playing together again and again, things improved. Shared feelings of contentment shifted up a gear to excitement, and this encouraged them to want to play more music together. This led, in no time at all or so it seemed, to still further improvement.

The Coral

The Coral are a British band formed in 1996 from Meols on the Wirral (near Liverpool) that play an unusual style of music mixing psychedelic pop/rock, old fashioned country, folk music and modern rock. Their music is often used in the soundtrack to TV adverts and programmes making their music well known even though the band itself is still outside of the mainstream. Although they have a fan base in the North American market, and a rather large following in their home country, they have yet to achieve a mainstream audience.
