Doves Of Disorder

Glasgow band DOVES OF DISORDER are a fire-breathing, four-headed, eight-legged heavy-pop-punk machine. They formed in July 2008 after Heather (vocals), Susie (guitar/vocals) James (drums) and Barry (bass) were asked to leave a speed-dating event in their hometown – none of the band are willing to admit why they were asked to leave but rumours persist that it was due to them being "too damn sexy..."

Choking Susan

Hailing from the stench filled slums of Detroit's motor city, female fronted punk band choking susan has lots to complain about. In Singer and front woman Colleen Caffienes own words: "Just like a 50 year old hooker, choking susan has had plenty of members in and out but we've kept ourselves raw and inspiring!" Choking susan are a 4 piece band, whose drummer seems to be new every month or so. Choking susan have played all over the USA, Canada and soon to hit the UK in August of 2007. Colleen isn't a huge fan of labels, but excepts the "punk' tag for the band.

Dogtown

From the muddy banks of the River Medway, Dogtown was formed in 2010 creating a sound that is like being violated by a length of splintered 2 by 2 with nails in it; but in a good way. Since that time they have steadily created a fan base in which they want to breakdown the barrier between audience and band with members often jumping down from the stage whilst performing into the crowd at gigs, and encouraging audience members on to the stage.
