Countryside

Countryside do; "Epic and dreamy synth-tinged rock from these fine melodic shoegazers - hints of Grandaddy & Guided By Voices topped with heavenly laconic vocals and a heady psychedelic sensibility."

CSOD

Hell raising Thrash, Metal band from Blackpool, UK. Their music is about who they are and the fucked up shit they do. Formed back in 2004 with SPOOKY, CUFFI and LIGZIG jamming oldskool Metallica, Motorhead, GWAR, and Misfits songs in their shit-hole of a house that they all tried to survive in at the time. Well of despair being a tribute to those days of misery. Eventually hitting the stage for the first time at XMAS FROM HELL in a real slum called The Galleon as a 5 piece wearing charity shop dresses and stinking of tequila CSOD unleashed pure hell.

The Snake Corps came together in 1984 following the break-up of Sad Lovers & Giants (SL&G) the previous year.
Aiming for a harder-edged sound, core members Tristan Garel-Funk and Nigel Pollard advertised in the Melody Maker for the necessary musicians. After many auditions they settled on Marc Lewis and Liam McGuinness on vocals and bass respectively. This original incarnation set about establishing its own sound - recording demos of songs later to appear on the band
