Wellalive

The band Wellalive was formed in 2003 by Johnny Mason and Mark Austin (formerly of UK based band SisterMoon). The band has had limited success with writing and recording original material so they decided to concentrate on paying tribute to the music of Paul Weller as a statement to how great his songs are.

My Drug Hell

My Drug Hell is a West-London based power-trio strongly influenced by all things Sixties from both sides of the Atlantic. When listening to My Drug Hell you may discover Byrds-ian jangling guitars, Who-ish drumming, Beatle-esque production techniques, Kinks-y lyrics, Velvet Underground-like ramshackleness, Rolling Stones-type rough-and-readiness as well as some other strange and indefinable quality/thing/Presence that is uniquely theirs and which words alone cannot begin to describe.

The Outsiders

There are several artists named The Outsiders (11 are mentioned here): (1) The Outsiders were a sixties beat band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Formed in 1960 as a neighbourhood band from Amsterdam East, The Outsiders became one of the most succesful Dutch groups of the 1960s. They made some lastingly great records and never recorded anyone else's material, with singer Wally Tax writing the lyrics and guitarist Ron Splinter the music for nearly all of the twelve 45s and three LPs they made.

The Mockingbirds

There are two bands by the name "The Mockingbirds:" 1) The Mockingbirds were formed by Graham Gouldman in late 1964, following the breakup of the earlier Whirlwinds. The lineup included two fellow members of that band, bassist Bernard Basso and guitarist Steve Jacobsen, plus drummer Kevin Godley from another recently disbanded Manchester group, the Sabres. The stage was set for perhaps Britain's greatest should have but didn't band of the mid-'60s.

The Anydays

The ANYDAYS are from Oxford, they're a 3-piece, who write short sharp pop songs with a nod to their heroes the KINKS, BEATLES, JAM, LA'S. The boys are perfectionists when it comes to writing top tunes with solid beats. For the ANYDAYS, it's all about the sound and the look - especially on stage where the band really show what they're made of with a filler-free set that entertains and excites to the end.
