Political punk, clown violence, and teenage angst walk into a club. The barman says, “What is this… some kind of lineup?” Well, yes, actually...SYMETRICAL FEELINGS X CLUB 85 PRESENT....
THE SKIVE
- www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558842326359
The Skive are a three-piece punk/garage racket straight outta Stevenage, which is genuinely the 42nd worst town in the UK. These guys are all about filthy, in-your-face energy and no-bullshit, politically charged chaos. They’ve got a reputation for blowing the roof off every joint they play with blistering speed, reckless anthems, and lyrics that hit harder than a hangover. Their brand of punk? Pure, unfiltered, punch-you-in-the-guts madness. The lineup’s a family affair: Fred on guitar and vocals, his brother Kyle on drums, and their mate Joe on bass. These three aren’t just a band, they’re a fucking force. They’re taking a hard, unflinching look at the UK, screaming their way through the mess the higher ups are making, and demanding we do better. It's all about unity, and they’re dragging you along for the ride whether you’re ready or not.
SLAPP STIKK

A Leeds-born Clown-Rock band, on a quest to erase coulrophobia. Nefarious energies emanate from this clown crew's full-force foolery on the stage; join the circus, be down to clown.
Expect mosh-worthy riffs, stupid lyrics, and an opportunity to commit acts of violence against at least one (1) clown. SLAPPSTIKK loves you.
PEARLESCENT
- www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567223650857
A ‘young but not crap’ indie, pop-punk trio known for their original upbeat anthems and more raw, introspective songs delving into the experiences of being a teenager.
