Last Resort

The Last Resort are a name synonomous with the Oi! movement both as a shop catering for those of the skinhead persuasion and lifestyle in the '80's.

Urusen

Urusen began as Peter Beatty and Ben Please, cousins who've both been playing guitar and writing songs from an early age. In the summer of 1999 they began working together, performing regular gigs in London and Cambridge. But it was in the summer of 2002 that they got their first major break: to return to their home town of Bath to make a record. They immediately jacked in their jobs and, joined by bassist Jon Wordsworth, independently produced their first album 'Life Under Seat'.
