999
999 are an English punk rock band, formed in London in December, 1976. Line-up consists of Nick Cash, Guy Days, Pablo Labritain & Arturo Bassick. 999 celebrated their first 40 years anniversary on 5th December 2016. The reason for their longevity is not airplay, massive publicity, hype or even a major recording deal but word of mouth and that "word of mouth" now extends to nearly every country on earth.
The frenzy and raw energy of the early days were captured by their debut single “I’m Alive" on the bands own Labritain label and sold well enough to become a minor hit. Next through their association with United Artists records the second and third singles, “Nasty Nasty” and the now classic “Emergency” were released both scaling the lower reaches of the charts and confirming 999 to be one of the major forces in the British New Wave Movement.
The first album titled simply “999” was released and was greeted with impressive sales and critical acclaim. Extensive touring took them throughout Britain and Europe where they now encountered full houses. The second album "Separates" was released and immediately the single "Homicide" leapt straight into the UK top forty without any Radio airplay and was banned by the BBC and most radio stations.
Early 1979 saw the band embarking on their first U.S. tour, which was an achievement in itself, as they were still without a record deal in America at the time. Response to the band was ecstatic, all the venues being filled and import albums being sold out in a rush of enthusiasm. The band were immediately booked for a return trip.
Since leaving United Artists 999 have recorded another eleven albums. Jon Watson was replaced in 1986 on bass by Danny Palmer and subsequently by Arturo Bassick in 1991. To date the band have completed 17 U.S. tours, 130 London gigs, 50 UK tours and 30 European tours visiting Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Yugoslavia, Japan, Argentina and Brazil.

Sinful Maggie
Formed in Bournemouth in 2015 Sinful Maggie set out to show people that you could have a punk band with an accordion and not play Folk Gypsy or Celtic Punk.
The band makes no bones about wearing their influences on their sleeves often being likened to early Rancid with a bit of The Clash and some Dropkick Murphys to boot but that doesn’t mean they don’t bring something fresh to the scene.

The Lengthmen
Post-punk of the highest calibre. Their boots hit the ballast in Derby back in 2015, and with a couple of line-up changes this crew issued the classic debut album 'Resistant Materials' in 2018, with their divergent, well-received follow-up 'Bang Road,' recorded at Rockfield Studios in 2020, seeing the light of day in 2022 on the group's own Nursery of Noise label.
