Sounds Like VIDEO DIARY JULY 2006 ..> The Variants,
The mentally 'not quite right' five piece from Scarborough blend rock, indie and punk which makes them hard to describe in Black and white, though interesting to listen to, They have a reputation for "guerrilla gigs" where they turn up in odd places and play unanounced.
