The Underground Stage
“Southern End are down from Newcastle, bringing some screamingly complex but occasionally batshit big blues rock. Wildy careening off into prog and blistering noise, there’s barrels of musical talent in here, and it’s wonky enough to keep you guessing.” Facebook | Instagram
“Jerranis channel Skeggs and Lunatics On Pogosticks and all the snot in the world to plonk down a set that’s entirely designed to pull your hair and poke you in the eye. Like a kebab under a bus-stop bench on a Sunday morning, this is a guaranteed way to make you think of all the […]
