ozzMium

The band has been going since february 2006, the first song ever recorded being "Control" a metal song with emo undertones. Song became a live favourite amongst fans and onlookers at gigs around the Newry and Mourne area. This song is now the weakest song in the complete set. The music has become much heavier and sounding much more like the Metalcore idols of the band members. New songs are currently written. Recording will take place in late January so a demo will be available in the Late Febuary. Songs for this are decided and we are looking foward to getting it out there

Duke Special

Duke Special, a.k.a. Peter Wilson, is a Belfast artist with an unique sound, often referred to as 'vaudeville'. His songs are shaped by an omnipresent piano, harps, brass, strings and - his trademark on stage - an old gramophone. The result are very romantic and passionate little hymns with the Duke's soft vocals. A quite antique sound, but never old-fashioned. Music was all he ever wanted to do.

Panama Kings

Drawing comparisons with indie luminaries such as Modest Mouse, Pixies, and the Walkmen, Panama Kings employ razor-sharp Gang Of Four guitars over dance-rock rhythms, frenetic keyboards and just enough Sonic Youth noise to stay this side of melodic, with Niall Kennedy’s Superchunk/ Flaming Lips-esque vocal style perhaps being the bands strongest suit.
