- Ich über mich
- “This is rough, radical music that should unsettle the rulers of this country. A new generation of musicians are challenging war- monger politicians and their courtiers (Bono, Geldof etc). I hope these songs prosper.” Tariq Ali
Jonny ‘Itch’ Fox - vocals and ukulele
Jamie Jazz - vocals and guitar
Fruitbag - vocals and guitar
The King Blues are one of the UK punk underground’s best loved bands, and they’re now primed for an assault on the wider world having signed to new label Field Recordings.
The band have a commitment to politics and resistance culture, and are vocal supporters of anti-racism and anti-capitalism. Though they have played most of the UK’s major rock festivals they are just likely to be seen playing Zapatista benefit gigs, squat shows and Love Music Hate Racism festivals as they are the more traditional touring circuit. They do however refuse to rigidly define their politics, instead pooling individual beliefs for a wider common goal.

The King Blues, described by Kerrang! as 'The most exciting live band in Britain', Featuring two acoustic guitars, a ukulele and a Melodeon, The King Blues' music is a heady and life-affirming concoction of soul-tinged ska, street poetry, working class/protest folk, dub bass lines and doo-wop melodies, all delivered with a punk attitude. Myspace.com/thekingblues
The Arrows Of Love's heady alternative rock sound draws comparisons with elements of
world changing early 90's bands whilst retaining a distinctly English voice and it's own style. Myspace.com/arrowsoflove
Gaggle, a riotous 22 piece East London alt girl choir, are 'the most exciting,
innovative and genuinely imaginative force at large in music right now. Myspace.com/gagglespace
The Homosexuals, one of the original explosive garage punk bands from the late 70's, who 'deserved to reach a wider audience alongside icons like the Sex Pistols, The Clash, and all the rest'.Myspace.com/thehomosexuals
More Light More Power, a statement of defiance, streaming guitar, marching rhythm, lightening strike to open hearts and the sublime magic of knowing the threat behind the silence, a violent ritual in warm synthesizer with cold resolution. Myspace.com/morelightmorepowerlond

Pocket Lips are 7 members strong with three vocalists, drums, bass, keys and are fresh back from playing with DJ Yoda the awesome Mr Margaret Scratcher on the turntables. The band have been working and touring with other artists such as Roots Manuva, The Dub Pistols, and Babyshambles, while Mr Hudson has asked them to remix his next single. Myspace.com/pocketlips
Honey Weasel are a dynamic duo consisting of Hagop Matossian 'Honey' and Aaron Horn 'Weasel'. Their sound is a fusion of samples taken from their favourite tunes/seminal movies, jammed with their own beats to create a delectable ever changing mush. Myspace.com/honeyweasel
