Formed in the Birmingham area in the spring of 2010, the band have consistently honed their skills playing shows in the smallest shittiest pubs in the area, but now with the release of their first EP, "No Prospects", a 9 track collection of punk in the classic vein, containing tracks with "hooks catchier than a Thai prostitute", the band are looking to branch out and play bigger gigs...

Grover

Sesame Street, New York City, New York (1967 - present)
Grover is a valiant, caring blue monster who is chock-full of childlike exuberance. The boisterous little monster often gets himself into pickles by rushing into situations without weighing the consequences. Excitable Grover loves to explain new concepts, though he sometimes has a tough time expressing his thoughts clearly. Opposites are a particularly difficult idea for him to explain, but he always manages to get his point across in the end, even though he sometimes swoons dramatically from all the effort.

Arbor Lights

Arbor Lights are an instrumental band from Birmingham, in the UK. It’s not quite the glacial beauty of Iceland, but it’s alright. Usually being an instrumental band means two things: either they can’t sing, or they won’t, and they are definitely the former. Sometimes they play pretty loud, and sometimes they play pretty soft. They’re named after the bar where they first met, and hopefully they won’t sue them for royalties.
