Since its release, Libor Spacek's second EP "A series of instructions has recieved endless radio airplay and glowing reviews. Opening track Sibling of Sleep has now been featured on unsigned showcases both sides of the Atlantic on BBC Radio 1 (Huw Stephens and Lamacq Live) and Chicago WKQX FM (Robert English).
Rocksound Magazine "Starting out with a luscious piano riff, 'Sibling of Sleep', the first track on space-rockers LiborSpacek's demo, is a fine introduction to a solid band. All of the best elements of alt-rock are here, housed within three great tracks". (8/10)
BBC Live Review
Call it punky, call it spiky, or even prickly, their set is full of sharpness - taut guitar and bass plucks, staccato marching drums, intense piano and jittery vocals feverishly repeating lines as though it's the soundtrack to One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. It's an electrifying performance!

THE RACE - One of the most successful bands to come out of Reading over the last few years. Signed to Shifty Disco (the label that gave birth to Young Knives), they released their debut album in 2006 and it pricked up the ears of any punter or media heard it. It was a very, very fine debut album. The Race are one of the best examples of such an exciting Reading music scene. They have played many a festival all over Europe-including Reading Festival in 2006. Been championed by the likes of Radio 1/XFM/6 Music and many a fine music publication. This is a very rare one off to see a band of this status in such a small venue. Their second album is ready for release in October 2008. It was was produced by Dave Eringa (Kyle Minogue/Manic Street Preachers) He has taken the band to a new higher level. Sounding like U2 having a fist fight with Arcade Fire. The Race are now a f--king great band! http://www.myspace.com/theraceuk

TRIPWIRES The four piece actually started out as far back as 2002. They were all about 12. They are still all under 19. They are now not only one of the best forward thinking local bands around, they should be easily the next local band to step up to the next level. This is a band that you would be (very) stupid to miss.
"Think Biffy Clyro meets Cooper Temple Clause. Compelling British Rock, " Designer Magazine www.myspace.com/tripwires
MR FOGG A rare live outing by local electronic pop genius. Mr Fogg is rated by a who whos in the world of UK media. He has done numerous live sessions for everyone from Janice Long to Tom Robinson. Live he seriously rocks, as he employs a live band that consists of ex members of Libor Spacek and current members of Pure Reason Revolution.
"Ace,ace,ace," Huw Stephens
www.myspace.com/mrfoggisapopstar
THE WOOKIES They used to a tad too progressive rock. You know the sort of band who think growing a wacky beard is cool or wearing sandals. They have been hanging out with ex members of Wire and listening to Slayer. This makes them a far more exciting and sexy prospect of a musical adventure. They sing about hospitals and animals and hose pipe bans. Crazy kids. "They play jazz-infected indie pop and they are here to save the world with some of the oddest pop songs ever," Josaka
www.myspace.com/thewookiesuk
THE STORM EXPLOSION The Storm Explosion number four, they remind us of the long long lost mighty God Machine. If you dig Godspeed, Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai and Richard Ashcroft as a singer then they could quite (easily) by your favourite new band. This is their debut gig.! Turn up early.www.myspace.com/thestormexplosion
