[spunge]
are a ska punk band from Tewkesbury, England. The lead singer, Alex Copeland has commented that the brackets are in the name so that the letters don't fall out! The correct name does not capitalise the 'S', probably for aesthetic reasons. are the only band who has ever officially been given permission by the Marley family to change the lyrics of a Bob Marley song, on their cover of "No Woman, No Cry" (this can be found on their second album, Room For Abuse). The Story So Far.....

Kids Can't Fly
Kids Can't Fly formed in May 2006 with the intention of giving the Southampton ska-punk scene a kick. Members were brought in from many local and national bands, including Zero Consent, Schoolboy Error, Fandangle, Toupé, Speaking of Losers, After Thought, The Generators, Harpoon Larsen and many others. Between the members, they already had a huge amount of stage and song-writing experience, so adapted quickly into writing new songs.

Sonic Boom Six
Formed in Manchester, England in 2002, Sonic Boom Six represent the most compelling soundclash to rise from the underground in years. Few bands can so smoothly mix dancefloor-savvy elements of reggae, jungle and ska with the rigorous commentary of hip-hop whilst retaining enough grit and aggression to be an active fixture of the UK’s punk scene. Only Sonic Boom Six are propelled by the melodious rapping of Laila K who is one of the most incendiary vocalists to ever bounce around a moshpit of Mohawks.
