SHARKS

Born and raised in Royal Leamington Spa SHARKS are a British rock group with absolute heart that embellish their hardcore D.I.Y ethics with the raw power of the soul. After the success of their debut EP ‘Shallow Waters’, and subsequent tours with Gallows, The Ghost of a Thousand and Fucked Up, SHARKS signed to Best Before Records and released their second EP ‘Show of Hands’, picking up high praise from the likes of Kerrang! and RockSound. This year saw the band extend their fanbase far and wide, playing the entire Warped Tour and Summer Sonic Festival in Japan, and with the news of a debut album to drop early next year these are exciting times for SHARKS fans.

“writing with thoughtfulness, maturity and skill belying their youthful status, Sharks have quietly put together perhaps the most charming debut of the year.” - RockSound 8/10

“impressive, shimmering, grass-roots, British Punk; a revelation from start to finish!” - Kerrang! 4/5

CROWNS

Crowns are folk-punk band hailing from Cornwall, but it wasn’t all surfing and pasties for these boys. At the same time as songwriter Bill Jefferson was learning old Cornish tunes, the rest were playing in various punk bands in their local town. It was only when combining these two wild elements that Crowns found their rousing sound and began to write the salty, sing-a-long anthems that make up their set today.

More intent on having a good time than singing you their latest diary entry, these folk-punk party starters want to get you dancing. Having recently shared stages with The Pogues, Gallows and Brandon Flowers, the fun has only just begun. So – all aboard and raise a glass to your new favourite band!http://www.crownsband.co.uk/

The Catharsis

The Catharsis are Birmingham’s most infectious and exciting hardcore outfit. The release of their debut EP ‘God Damned’ provides the opportune time for the band to take their live show to towns and cities up and down the UK, while confirming their rise from Midland’s upstarts to national newcomers.

Unapologetically ruthless, there is no room, need, or care for spin or name-drops here. The Catharsis are the perfect flag-bearer for the wealth of UK talent that can be found ripping apart the toilet circuit every day of the week; playing to intimate crowds of loyal, passionate music lovers who are there to get down and dirty.

“This is hardcore how it should be played – a dirty, gritty and ferocious racket that goes straight for the jugular” - RockSound

“Plenty of swagger, gnarly songs and killer hardcore riffs to boot, their debut EP delivers bucketloads of potential” - Terrorizer
