S*M*A*S*H
When S*M*A*S*H summoned the spit and snarl of classic British punk rock in the early '90s, the U.K press labeled them "the New Wave of New Wave," a nonexistent movement that the British weeklies used to describe young acts resurrecting the sounds of the late-'70s and early-'80s underground scene in England.

THE METATRONS
The Metatrons are a delightfully fuzzy Riot-Pop band from Hertfordshire. After signing to Chapter 22 Records they released their "Deconstruction" album, which was a fantastic critical success, being called "The pinnacle of quality pop" and "a thunderous slice of pop majesty". Vive le Rock said the album was "bursting with bright, breezy driving rhythms...you should hear them".
The band toured the album, opening for Altered Images on their UK tour in 2022 to add to the list of great bands they've worked with - Shonen Knife, Echobelly, The Primitives, Dodgy, The Blockheads, The Darling Buds, The Membranes, Steve Craddock, The Lovely Eggs and Glen Matlock to name but a few.
2023 and 2024 had more great shows and a summer full of festival appearances, as they released their 4th album "Lumination" on Chapter 22 Records in June. Album no.5 "The Ever-Present Now" coming in June 2026! 

GAVIN MCCANN
As well as being the charismatic and very noisy frontperson of Redmaxx, Gavin fronted the fantastic WGC band Mania in the mid-nineties - a favourite of the late great John Peel - and was a longtime member of The Trailer Trash Orchestra.
