The Varukers
The Varukers are an anarchist hardcore punk band formed in 1979 by vocalist Rat. The Varukers originally split in 1988 as the various members went their separate ways. But in 1993, vocalist Rat decided to reform the band. Stylistically, their music resembled the traditional uk82 style exemplified by bands like GBH and The Exploited. Since the band had former members of Discharge, a d-beat sound developed as time went on.
The Restarts
The Restarts first crawled out of the North London Squat scene nearly a decade ago. Serial dole scroungers the lot of them, they named their band after the dreaded 'back to work' interviews and set about touting their stroppy four-chord punk to spiky-haired audiences around the world. Yelling out barbed diatribes against the state over chunky metal guitars, they've slowly but surely clawed their way to the top of the underground pile. Staying true to their punk ideals and more DIY than Homebase.
Evacuate
Formed out of the ashes of notorious hardcore punk bands The Virus, Cheap Sex and The Lab Rats, Southern California band Evacuate has caught the attention of fans worldwide since their formation in 2007. With a strong sense of urgency the band unleashes its blistering 12 track debut album. Propelled by social consciousness the band spews its vengeance on a number of issues that are rarely addressed in today's music.

Argy Bargy
Argy Bargy is a british Oi! / street punk band from London. They have taken their name from the famous Cock Sparrer song.
Sham 69
History: Sham 69 formed in 1976 (the 12 November issue of NME notes they were rehearsing at this time, although only Jimmy Pursey would remain from this early line-up 12 months later). Sham 69 lacked the art school background of many British punk bands of the time, and brought in football chant back-up vocals and a sort of inarticulate political populism. The band had a large skinhead following (left wing, right wing and non-political), which helped set the tone for the Oi! movement.
Short Bus Window Lickers
The Short Bus Window Lickers started up in 2000 when they kicked a DJ off the stage in the Button Factory squat in Brixton (south London) and played their then only 10 minute set 3 times in a row introducing the London punkscene to their fast and furious scumbag hardcore punk. They started playing gigs in and around London almost every weekend at benefits, squats, pubs and clubs and built up a reputation of being fast, tight as fuck, always up for playing and most importantly: havin a sticky sense of humour.
