Dead Kennedys

Dead Kennedys are a hardcore punk/punk rock band from San Francisco, California. During the 1980s the band gained a large underground following in the international punk music scene. Their music mixed the more experimental elements of English 1970s punk with the raw energy of the 1980s American scene. Dead Kennedys' songs mix the deliberately shocking lyrics of punk with a satirical and sarcastic left-wing commentary on social and political issues.

2 Bad Mice

Formed in 1991, 2 Bad Mice are widely credited as among the first U.K. hardcore acts to begin heavily incorporating breakbeats into the style.

Potential Bad Boy

Potential Bad Boy - London based jungle producer turned garage producer turned jungle producer. Welcome home. He describes his style as more musical and traditional than that of many of his peers, which means he focuses more on vocals and makes more direct references to the music's roots in reggae. Surveying the scene he's come back to, McFarlane feels the future looks good. Key track - Meat of the Ghetto - Potential Badboy feat. Junior Dangerous on Jekyll and Hyde Recordings - LF2526
