The Underground Stage
“Jones The Cat kick off tonight with some solidly-built, Smith Street-fuelled, eyeballs to the wall guitar frenzy. Gosh darn it, they’re instantly loveable.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157671835478497″]
“Anyone who’s anyone knows that Grant Hart was as big a part of Husker Du as Bob Mould. Sleepy seem to know this in their bones, full of rough tunes with a gentle core. Connoisseurs of the form – for connoisseurs of the form.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157671143316847″]
“Oh my word, I’m just loving The Shrugs – any band who fills the world with more Breeders-driven guitar fabulousness is alright in my, or anyone’s, book. Literate, crisp, and a paring knife to the ribs. Many pleasures abound.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157699624110191″]

“Easy Street are, er, pretty easy-going as it happens. Just right for a Sunday afternoon, its full of lazy rays of sunshine and ringing melody. Deeply, deeply soothing stuff. Given how packed the place is at this stage, sorely needed too.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157670816800177″]
“Rackett have got all the swagger you’d ever need, not to mention some fearsome rock fuel.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157700575723254″]
