BORN BACKWARDS
Rock / Metal / Glam
East Anglia

Hold on tight for a blistering-fast toxic rock-et ride known to the world as Born Backwards!
An act continuing to entertain fans, critics, and equals, this fired-up fivesome rocks out a chemically charged electric sound begging to bitch slap the face of rock. The group - formed in 2003 have stalked the backstreets of East Anglia and the internet alike with several indie EPs, songs on local radio, and an ever growing fanbase.
Compared to a non stop express train, heading for the end of the line with manifest destiny, Born Backwards tell the never ending tale of broken hearts, jealousy, revenge, and drinking until dawn - in their own words, first hand, bottom line.
As they pack their gig bags, and with new songs already fine tuned in the studio Born Backwards are primed, armed and set to explode.

The Brownies
Indie / Punk / Pop
Norwich

Review: "introducing The Brownies, loveable Norwich based punkpop quintet as they release their debut E.P. "Small Talk".
The Record is packed with catchy punk riffs and feminist tipped lyrical content making The Brownies more than your average local pub band. I am also privileged to have seen them live, and as is often the case with the smaller unsigned band the record is dwarfed by their live performance, because of lo-fi production and a lack of the much needed punk, stage energy that The Brownies readily supply.
The second Track "Vaseline kid" is definitely a gem with some real peaches-esque 'middle finger to machismo' vocals and stomping chord progressions with a raw stop start chorus that makes you stand up and take note.
Overall 'Small Talk' is a great debut with plenty of potential, however I really would advise seeing The Brownies live to fully appreciate their titillatingly raw punk pop styles in all their glory." - Outline Magazine

Compact Pussycat was formed in February 1993.
By our own admission we were pretty awful at first, but inspired by encouraging remarks such as "an unfocused mess" and "girls are crap", we kept practising and persevering. This is the band most people remember. With a decent set of songs and the ability to play them, Compact Pussycat began gigging regularly in Norwich ("the darlings of the NAC") and then spread further afield to play the likes of The Bull & Gate and The Marquee Club in London.
By the end of 1995, the band split: Christine left for the USA, Ella went travelling and Jenny formed Burned Dahlia. However... On to 2004: After a chance meeting at a party, Jenny, Ella and Helen got together for the first time in 9 years to reform Compact Pussycat.

The four first met when starting a Btec National Diploma in Music Technology at Weston College, and two months later, the idea was born. “MacGyver” (not just a quote from the Simpsons), began gigging literally four weeks later.. Months of hard work followed and more exciting and serious support slots, including Vero, and Koopa, both well known UK bands. After writing a number of original songs, the band decided it was time to start recording. With money made from local gig’s the band funded their own studio time, and CD production.
The E.P launch was a fantastic success and was the real turning point for the band. Since building a exceptional local following the band have started to appeal to a national audience. Through the help of their myspace page and word of mouth, MacGyver’s number of plays has sky rocketed! Doubling in only two weeks to an extraordinary 7000 total plays.

Obsidian Sky was formed after a series of bad to worse gigs with a previous line up. After 8 months of trying to bring something out of nothing, the line up was changed, the songs re-write, and with better musicans, they created what they always wanted to play. The band is now a three peice band consisting of one guitar, drums and lead vocal. After listening to alot of our piers such as opeth, the vocals are based around low growls and guteral type vocals. They made a semi group effort to write the lyrics in the band, talking about real life situation and theories with a poetic feeling to try and create a less obvious base behind the meaning of their songs. The guitar follows a very ambient, progressive feel, spiced up with spanish/mexican influences. Obsidian Sky try to create atmosphere and diversity in their songs and follow a flowing journey almost throughout the song... Find out more @ myspace.com/obsidiansky
