INDIGNATION MEETING are train-mad punks from Leeds who have the scrappy melodic charm and wit of Half Man- Half Biscuit and the raw and ragged power of The Mekons. Lead by teenage drummer/singer Peter who is ably assisted by the rest of the crew including his Dad Michael on guitar, Hugo on bass, and Keith, Heather and Sally often along for the ride. It's time to get off the rails!

Lean into the alt rock psych sound of Hebden Bridge's BENTHEAD with your good ear. Like a 5-legged packhorse dancing on gritstone, flying high above the northern sky and wading doggedly through the thick, bubbling swamps of the Vale of Calder.

THE BURGERS is not a band; it's an idea that originated in Beijing, China, starting as Zac Burger's bedroom project. Now based in Glasgow this one man band creates a tornado of catchy punk rock melodies and lyrical indignation. Unapologetic, angry and looking to build a community around his music you can think of Zac's songs as beautiful missing person ads or fists raised towards the sky. Come join his crusade!
