Kataleptic is a Birmingham based death/thrash band. Starting in March of 2008, the band was created when a previous project involving three of the guys fell apart. Featuring, Matt Walton and Dan Benton of Ultio, Kataleptic is completed by Dan's Brother Scott Benton and his previous band mates Luke Davis and Sean Brown. From the band has come strong friendship, a will to make good music, and a need to make some good, no shit taking metal.

Carousel Circus are simply four amigo's in a band who love playing and have been doing so since the summer of 2004. They have also been fortunate enough to share the stage with some great names (such as Levellers, The Rifles, Example, Hawkwind, N-Dubz, Bez from Happy Mondays) at some fantastic venues (like both Camden and Birmingham Barfly and Islington and Birmingham Academy) with their unique brand of Rock/Blues/Country.

Spewed up from the murky depths of Birmingham, UK at some point in mid 2006, Beestung Lips is a four-headed hideous beast, with blood-shot eyes and tentacles stretching far back into the Midlands music scene. Chewing on notes from The Jesus Lizard, Hot Snakes and Oxbow, and then spitting them back out, with additional nods to literary giants such as Charles Bukowski and John Fante, they create a provocative mixture of wilfully abrasive noise and viscera-shredding rock 'n' roll.
