Friends in low places - Raising money for CALM

A fixture of the european wild r&b and garage circuit for close to two decades, with singles issued by labels in spain and portugal as well as the uk.

A norwich four-piece with roots deep in the uk psychobilly underground, put together by players from that scene. Garage punk with a rockabilly snap, roughed up with country and punk rock edges. Their seven-track debut ep landed in january 2024 and sold out on cd.

An english trio whose debut album arrived on devils preacher records in late 2024. Dirty, dark garage rock and roll built on feedback-driven guitar, growling bass and heavy drums, with songs about desperados, bandits and sinners. Twelve tracks of trashy, primal rock 'n' roll on guns, gamblers and ghosts.

Five self-released albums of original material deep, and hardened by years of playing london's street markets. Rockabilly-tinged blues on guitar, slapped double bass and a knocked-together suitcase kit, with ska and cowpunk creeping in at the edges. Their album the betrayal of mangas coloradas is on bandcamp.

A london band whose 2023 album brain dead got a limited 12 inch vinyl pressing that has since sold out. Psychobilly with the punk turned up: thirteen fast, scrappy songs of rockabilly rhythm and blunt distortion. They have been releasing records since at least 2017.

Punk band formed in christchurch, new zealand in 1981 and based in london since reforming.

A london psychobilly trio who put out a 7 inch single in 2017 and followed it with a debut album on greystone records in 2018.

A brighton band who won over the room at the rats with wings diy punk showcase, playing classic old-school punk with strong tunes and loads of energy. They recorded four tracks at broadoak park studios in bexhill for a forthcoming ep on rats with wings records.
