Any Trouble

Any Trouble are a British rock band, originating from Crewe, England, best known for the early 1980s recordings. The band reformed in 2007. Any Trouble was an underappreciated bright spot on Stiff Records, a label which had no shortage of talented artists. Bandleader Clive Gregson's appearance, hardened love songs, and vocal style may have led to comparisons to Elvis Costello, but they were no second-rate rip-off -- each of their four albums revealed a songwriter of unique talent and a more-than-capable band to execute the songs.

The Unprotected is a glam rock & roll band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2010. The Band consists of St. Dave (vocals), Ric (lead guitar) and Steve (rhythm guitar). "The Unprotected are spreaders of cunt rock - an exhilarating mix of musical misdemeanour and debauchery of pop metal proportions. These are not troubadour songs about chivalry and courtly love; instead, this motley crew deliver to you electrifying showmanship and balls to wall anthems on the holy trinity that is sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.
