The Zico Chain

Hailing from London, UK, The Zico Chain are a fuzzed up, three-piece, rock 'n' roll revolution. Feeling an over-whelming sense of apathy for the majority of music coming out of the UK in recent years, the band formed from the fallout of drinking too much good cheap booze and going to too many awful gigs. The Zico Chain signed to Hassle Records in 2005 and released their self-titled mini-album to a great response in 2006.

My Echo

Formed in late 2009 by four gents looking to make a fresh start in their musical lives. With varied tastes in music across the board, but sharing a heart for Rock'n'Roll. They began writing music that they would want to listen to. Loud. Energetic. Charismatic. My Echo!

Fangs of a TV Evangelist

Commercially ignorant Power Trio, even a "supergroup" (is that term still cool?). Based out of Melbourne featuring Jace (Pigman Vampire/Bikini Eyebolt/etc.) on Guitar/Vox, Mikey (Brain resin) on Bass and Jem (Fire Witch/Inappropriate Tough Guy behaviour etc.) on Drums. With each new album comes a name change and more confusion.
Criminally ignored band with a high output of great music.

Aver

AVER. Here's the challenge, listen to a couple tracks and try and decide what genre they are, even they don't know. Some sort of bastard child of Stoner Rock, Psychedelic, Space Rock and Grunge. In any case it's heavy and it's groovy and it doesn't sound like any other band out there. If those sound like good things to you, they reckon you'll dig them. Enjoy sober, or otherwise. Luke: Lunar Fiddle
Jed: Earth Tremors
Chris: Tribal Rhythms
Burdt: Guitar/Vocals
