    Sun. 26   Crash Mansion + Soliss + Artofiction

    Crash Mansion - Ballsy, heart-felt hair metal.   The Mansion boys nail every live show, whether it's to an 'Old man and his Dog' or a thousand people rammed into a venue bursting at the seams!

    Soliss - With Soliss there are no boiler suits, masks or dodgy makeup.  What there IS plenty of, is pure, unadulterated rock ‘n’ roll.  With drag racer riffs, V12-powered rhythms and truck-loads of energy they sound like the spiritual heirs of AC/DC.
    With a collection of all killer, no-filler songs the Southend-based five-piece are earning themselves thousands of fans across the world.  Even the most cynical observers soon find themselves unable to resist the classic blend of spiraling lead guitar, clattering drums, chunky rhythm guitar, pounding bass and passionate voice.  A quick glance around the floor sees every foot tapping.

    Sat. 24   The Boy Done Good + Skatch

    The Boy Done Good - Talented, explosive, big indie pop tunes and a hell of a performance makes up one of the most creative and exciting new bands to emerge in 2009.  The Boy Done Good are a fantastic four piece indie pop outfit that infuse real song writing, credibility and humour into their unique youthful style.

    The band formed with its full line up in 2007.  Originating from the same area they share similar interests in music and life which is portrayed through the music.  Life experiences of the band are shown through the song writing which adds to the reality of the performance.  Through the bands constant stream of new material each gig promises to be a new experience.

    Skatch - Hailing from the Midlands, Skatch describe themselves as 'ultra-party power-pop' and they are not far from wrong.  With infectious and incredibly catchy songs, Skatch fulfil anyone's desire for energetic party anthems.  Skatch are all about the fun, and it shows in every single song on this album.  With every one as catchy as the last it's impossible not to tap along.  'Forever On Replay' is a great example of one of these incredibly catchy, instantly likeable songs that would put a smile on anyone's face.  'Take Note (This Is How It Is Done)' probably sums up the feel of this album best and is one of the more notable songs.  An intense mix of superb vocals and six different instruments combining together must be a difficult task but skatch do it almost effortlessly.  Completely recommended for any pop-punk/ska fan, or anyone who likes music that makes them smile.
