Sounds Like
Reviewers have said we sound like this:


"..glossy, mental, ridiculous and oddly soothing. (4/5)"
(Big Cheese)

"Like early Yes albums being played at 78rpm by The Boomtown Rats, very cool"
(Brixton Windmill)

"Blasting out punk rock that gives your ears whiplash whilst indulging in gorgeous instrumental sequences that range from Duran Duran synth-cheese to Tool styled solo smuggery. "
(Blue Light District)

"..taking Guitar drenched alternative rock and giving it the explosive energy of The Blood Brothers... These guys can't sit still for one second, and when listening neither can you! Fusing the driving force of Dinosaur Jnr. with the sonic punch of Pavement...."
(Subba-Cultcha)

"An almost unfathomable fusion of Prince, The Bee Gees, Oscar Peterson and Motörhead"
(Wired)

"they sound like Sparks, Prince and the Cardiacs folded, torn apart then stuck together with gaffer tape (and also given heavier distortion pedals for Christmas...) "
(Black Sheep Bar, Croydon)

"As close to Cardiacs as possible without resorting to full on passport stealing and identity theft"
(Vanity Project)

"a mash up of Nation Of Ulysses or Make Up, Primus, NoMeansNo and the Dead Kennedys"
(Punknews)

"distil the essences of The Banana Splits, The Slits and the great, lost English thrashers English Dogs into a pot that's framed by the attitude of any one of a hundred inept late 70's New Wave also-rans"
(Logo Magazine)

"like a cross between Primus, The Presidents of The USA and a dodgy b-movie and to top it off the ending reminds me of the Muppet Show band... slightly irratic"
(Die Shellsuit, Die!)

We have themed days where u can cum in fancy dress… only IF u want to, no pressure!!

KIDZSTUFF for Friday –so school/ scout uniforms,  p.e.  kit, romper suits etc – u could come along wearing only nappies if u prefer…just don’t expect us to change’em 4 u!
NAUGHTY-COOL is the theme 4 Saturday - u choose how cool or naughty u wanna go as long as it has a  nauti-cal (get it?!) theme…so pirates, mermaids, beach wear, sailors etc (or perhaps, appearing as something slimy from the bottom  depths of the sea, mite allow some of u the chance 2 look good for the day!) – anyway, whatever rocks your boat, lol!
 and finally for Sunday, we wanna c only SUPERSTARS!!! anything from Elvis lookalikes to Spiderman -  your chance to look like your own personal hero of music, sport, or  film!

So get creative!!! Enter our competitions and you get the chance of winning great prizes and/or free drinks! Some mite actually be alcoholic, so dont forget your ID!!!
This is gonna be THE festival to be at  this autumn - it has something to suit everyone's favourite musical taste, so why not come along for all three days!
SEE YOU THERE!!!               This is a 16+ event
