Latterman was a four-piece punk rock band from Long Island, NY, formed in 2000. They played a style of melodic punk rock with shouted dual-vocals by Phil Douglas and Matt Canino, with songs often containing political and/or socially-conscious lyrics. The band has been compared to the likes of Against Me!, The Lawrence Arms, and Hot Water Music. Since their split in 2007, members have most recently been heard playing in Shorebirds, Bridge and Tunnel, Laura Stevenson and the Cans, Iron Chic, RVIVR and The Brass.

Conceived in March of 2008 in Canterbury, Delta Sleep was driven by a desire to create fun and original, forward-thinking music. Made of self-taught and honest musicians, their songs are as complex as they are catchy. Their music combines guitar driven melodies, held together by jazz influenced percussion and relentless bass, topped with sprinkles of left-field electronica. To coin Delta Sleep’s sound is a hard task indeed, but has once been described by a wise old man as an “enchanted battle between At The Drive-In and Mogwai for the city of Radiohead in the land of Aphex Twin”.

It's a fair assumption to say that nothing much comes from the Isle of Man, and if you aren't in motorbikes or huge waterwheels then you'd be forgiven for not even knowing about it's existence. But for five friends, Elliot Kinrade (Vocals), Ben Wilde (Guitar & Vocals), Ethan Grubb (Guitar), Stuart Bedford (Bass) and Darren Shields (Drums) it's home. Having already played all over the island gathering a solid fan base on the way the band have already played in London, Sheffield and recorded their new ep 'Always Goes Down Smooth' in Aberdeen.
