"Not What It Used To Be' video
FOTH are a multi-limbed entity birthed from the inner recesses of Sheffield city centre where they spend their time bogged down in strange and pointless vendettas. Their sound can best be described as perpendicular, their personages as arsey and their physiognomies as foul.

LIVE REVIEWS
...Not that you should ever expect anything less from Fury Of The Headteachers. In these parts, at least, they've established a reputation as a stellar live act, one whose frenzied double-vocal, twin-guitar assault can strip paint from a wall at 50 metres. The recording of debut album You Took A Scythe Home sounds consciously lo-fi but put them in a room like the smaller of The Leadmill's two and the result is an explosively noisy post-punk cocktail; like At The Drive-In trying and failing to play it straight or ¡Forward Russia! with everything double tracked. - Drowned in Sound
Currently Sweden's hottest export, THOSE DANCING DAYS combine "Sweet as apple-pie pop" with a devilishly sassy Northern Soul and it's this unique combination that has the got the whole of the UK falling over itself and for good reason too!
The subtle dynamics in their songwriting of JOHN and JEHN and the balance between chaos and beauty and the mastery of heartbreaking melodies Expect beautifully skewed hymns in the key of Serge Gainsbourg. http://www. myspace. com/johnjehn
Wakefield's THE RESEARCH are makers of fun, but also write songs that are like punches in the stomach that knock the wind out of you but afterwards you agree that you feel much better for it. www. myspace. com/theresearch

Charlie is Panther, and Panther is some mutant form of Charlie. Having recently supported The Gossip, Panther’s music is hard match of damaged soul, falsetto disco and broken synth fueled freakouts which is as addictive as it is challenging. This solo affair of Charlie Salas-Humara isn’t easily ignored for his unpredictable and energetic performances tainted with throbbing bass, minimalistic hooks and jittery dance routines. Panther’s influences run deep and take as much from Pop and R&B as Free Jazz and Punk.
Fluid and engaging, 7 Hertz fluctuate and mutate live before your very ears. incorporating all or none of the following instruments - basson, violin, voice, double bass, french horn, glockenspiel, clarinet, mandolin, trumpet - they improvise glorious pieces with total, beautiful spontaneity.

JOHN SUTTERS AND JOHN NASH AND MATHEW MEGADICKO AND TOBY make up the band and quite frankly I find it hard to write something about them, suffice to say that there will be screaming bursts of funk piss generously applied to the walls of the P
