"Part two of tonight's action are some hot young lads to keep an eye on. Punchfight had a hard act to follow but these cheeky young scamps charmed us like the artful dodger in a sweet shop. These guys play gang mentality music, yodel their lungs out and serenade the ladies. They look like The Strokes, sound like XTC and have the 'savoir faire'
of Adam and The Ants, so get your friggin' hair cut and do your French homework, kiss some girls and sign Punchfight if you run a record label cos they are gonna seduce the next generation." [Artrocker]
Main supporters are You & The Atom Bomb. Known for their urgent, mercurial live shows, they reference several musical genres but pledge allegiance to none. Expect dizzy time signatures and inexpedient dances. Artrocker
said: "Mini rock-operas with boy-girl swapsee attacking vox and barking choruses."
Plans & Apologies are a seven piece indie jangle-pop outfit with a twist hailing from the little known city of Derby, England. They released their debut album, Torn Out Pages From The Middle Agez, on Artists Against Success in January 2002. The critical response was excellent, with DrownedinSound.com awarding the album 5/5 and Careless
Talk Costs Lives magazine writing: "the twee kids have got bulletproof vests on underneath their cardigans and, fuck me, it sounds good". Their melody, lyrics and structure never fail to grab the listener's imagination, with their tunes implanting themselves in the mind for weeks to come.
Enid Blitz
Brighton's Enid Blitz play stripped-back, catchy guitar pop.
"A freshness and rough immediacy that sets them apart from everything else." [The Fly]
