"An eruption of angst, anger and raw rock fury, bristling with catchy riffs and anti-social punk attitude" PANIC MAGAZINE
"Lashings of resentment, pity and bile. It's seeting rock you can dance to, melodies you can hum and hooks you can remember" NOISY! ZINE
"A rather decent, rather energetic, rather busy punky/grungy/indie-rock three piece of a band. Seeds of ideas and moments that demand attention" ORGAN MAGAZINE
"Heavy rock with a decent high tempo, everything comes through clearly and manages to get across the sleaziness that these guys ooze" DEVOLUTION MAGAZINE
“If the Towers Of London were a little more focussed on being wryly satirical and less on being wasted for wasted’s sake (and getting on TV), they might have sounded as promising as this” METAL HAMMER Magazine
"They have all of the unfocussed aggression of The Sex Pistols, the pithy personal expression of The Buzzcocks, the anarchic stage presence of The Damned, and can make their guitars wail, grunt, bellow and scream like the sound of distilled teenage angst" PANIC MAGAZINE
"The songs are in yer face, with pleasing shouty vocal and effective arrangements; it's great stuff to let your hair down to. This is a really great proper punk act!" NEON-PROMOTIONS.CO.UK
"Someone book them or there will be harsh chinese burns handed out to all, with the threat of noggies" PUNKNEWS.CO.UK
"These Essex heroes’ catchy yet rough, ready and raw tunes might be just the revolt against saccharine So-Cal polished ‘punk’ we need" BUBBLEGUM SLUT
Torque Armada was formed over a monster new year's hangover 04/05, in an attempt to give something meaningful to a dying local "scene". Paul Harmer, Dave Moriaty recruited drummer, Lee Hutchings, after brief spells with other local sticksmen and entered the studios within a month to record New Trend Geek Scene; 4-tracks “stuffed with balls” says METAL HAMMER and who are we to argue?
2006, the group's first full year, began with yet more recording as the band had set their sights on a UK tour! 6 tracks were laid down and in July, to coincide with the band's trek across the country, Lollipops & Pills was released and a convoy of Ford Fiestas hit the road! After a hectic summer schedule the three-piece re-entered the studio to begin work on their first full-length release.
Torque Armada received airplay on Channel 4’s Freesports on 4 shows at the beginning of 2007 and picked up rave reviews of their debut album, Users and the Wasted Youth.
After some time out to explore new projects (Teen Death Squad and Geek Scene Promotions) the band intend to return in 2010 with the same ideals that had made Torque Armada so much fun in it's early conception. See ya down the front!

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.
This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!
It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm
As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
Some house, a bit of soul, a touch of funk and a load of jazz (influence at least). Blend that lot together and the result is something a little bit different, laid back and refreshing. Every other Wednesday afternoon (14:00-16:00 gmt) on SS Radio Deep and Soulful.

Saturday May 23rd
"The Bad Shepherds play punk songs on folk instruments. Not as a gag, but because we really like the noise. We think the songs are better than people remember. We love folk instruments. It works.
We do songs by The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Stranglers The Jam, Sham 69, The Undertones, Talking Heads, Squeeze and others, even Kraftwerk! Alright, they're not all punk, but they come from roughly the same era.
We've mostly given the songs a kind of Celtic feel, and we've stuck in the odd reel and jig here and there. But occassionally we just thrash! I've always thought the excitement of a reel taking off is the nearest thing to the excitement of watching punk live in the 70's."
