“RAYHAB bobs and weaves like a demon, physical and untethered, soundtracked by this arty set of edged pop. Urgent and alive, sharp and near-hypnotic.” Gallery Listen

Pocketwatch @ Factory Theatre, 29th Mar
“Pocketwatch are power pop and manic theatre, positively bubbling with dizzily sharp songs (and equally sharp tailoring). It’s mostly sugar but there’s more than enough salt added for balance, a keen edge to the heady rush.” Gallery Listen

Failsafe @ Factory Theatre, 29th Mar
“Failsafe are all Kevlar and concrete, bulletproof and bombproof in their solidity, grunge and noisy heft on the edges with a steel core of good times at the heart of it. It’s hard not to be impressed, and it’s impossible not to get more than a little carried away.” Gallery Listen

Filthy Rocks @ Factory Theatre, 29th Mar
“Filthy Rocks’ glorious West Coast punk rattles the teeth out of your head, their endlessly sunny energy and daft mischief delivered direct via an injection to the eyeball while also being plugged straight into the mains.

“Untamed are unapologetic in their love of magnificently large rock, giant boulders of the stuff, all falling down right from the top of their mountain and landing square on your head. Huge vocals, booming rhythms, wild shred – you know what’s what.” Gallery Listen
“With neither filter nor brakes, My Name Is John rattle and shoulder-charge their way through a set of blistering skate punk, daft in all the best ways and utterly oblivious to any potential injury. It’s a wild, erratic, and epically impolite good time all round. Also, their cover of ‘Walk Like An Egyptian’ should be […]

BEDTIME @ Chuck Trailer’s CBD, 28th Mar
“BEDTIME are in their early stages but carry a big bag of green shoots, great hairy slabs of 90s grunge but with a detached edge to fit these modern times like a glove. When they explode into the more pace-y stuff, it lifts the concrete off the floor.” Gallery
“The Visor Guy’s improv-y instrumentals buzz and burble along like recently-freed gremlins, scattering over the floor and setting things on fire. Their glee in their mischief is wide-eyed and palpable – if you’re having even half the fun they are you’ll be writing the night into a personal top ten.” Gallery
