BLYTH POWER
Blyth Power emerged in 1983 in the shadow of the anarcho-punk scene. Porter previously played with Zounds and The Mob and released records on both Rough Trade and Crass Records. Despite these early associations, Blyth Power soon cut a path of their own, flirting with the indie press of the early 90s and establishing themselves as a singular presence on the UK music scene.
The band has been celebrating forty years of recording and touring by presenting its best incarnation yet, and with a critically acclaimed new CD in their portfolio, remains one of the most original and innovative acts around. They have a strikingly identifiable and personalised sound built around Joseph’s songs, with their colourful personnel, exotic story-lines and crashing, impassioned choruses. Irony and subtext mingle with plain-speaking and historical metaphor in a brilliant tapestry of colour and irreverent speculation.
The band have played at countless festivals over the years, toured back and forth across Europe and released 18 studio albums.
And they keep getting better…

THE METATRONS
The Metatrons are a delightfully fuzzy Riot-Pop band all the way from Hertfordshire. After signing to Chapter 22 Records they released their "Deconstruction" album, which was a fantastic critical success, being called "The pinnacle of quality pop" and "a thunderous slice of pop majesty". Vive le Rock said the album was "bursting with bright, breezy driving rhythms...you should hear them".
The band toured the album, opening for Altered Images on their UK tour to add to the list of great bands they've worked with - Shonen Knife, Echobelly, The Primitives, Dodgy, The Blockheads, The Darling Buds, The Membranes, Steve Craddock, The Lovely Eggs and Glen Matlock to name but a few.
More great shows and a summer full of festival appearances followed, as they released their 4th album "Lumination" on Chapter 22 Records in June. Album no.5 coming in 2026!
