Red Flag 77

Red Flag 77 are a punk band from Ipswich, Suffolk in England. They have been together since the beginning of the 90's. They play, as their name suggests, 77 style Punk rock in the vein of the Clash and local legends, The Adicts. They're really just a bunch of ol' drunkards who like to think they've "still got it", but they enjoy themselves and don't hurt anyone so we let them get on with it.

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.

Runnin' Riot

From an elementary foundation of punk and oi, Runnin' Riot have developed a really solid stock of melodic punk gems, skinhead anthems and street rock attitude. Having now seemingly played everywhere from Michigan to Llandudno, they’ve honed their live presentation even further and serve as a guiding light for the Irish punk underworld.

Cockney Rejects

The Cockney Rejects are an Oi! punk band which formed in the East End of London in 1979.
Their biggest UK hit The Greatest Cockney Rip-Off was a parody of Sham 69's Hersham Boys. As Julie Burchill noted, "It must have been a bloody strong wind that blew the sound of Bow Bells to Surrey." Other songs were less commercial as they tended to be about street fighting and football hooliganism - except for the band's version of the famous West Ham United anthem, "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles".
