MANKY BASTARD PRESENT:
“The Strands sound like a muscular outfit who blend the lad-rock tendencies of Oasis and Kasabian with good, old-time, low-slung riffola reminiscent of Led Zep, Black Crowes etc. Loud and proud with their eye on the prize.” Vic Galloway, BBC Radio 1.
“Hints of the Stereophonics with a bit of the Doors and Oasis coming through as well…Altogether creating a rather satisfying blend of driving indie rock. Tomorrow To Soon is certainly one of those tunes that sticks in your head and wont go away.” Jim Gellatly, XFM Scotland

We play hip hop, electro, party tunes that make you want to move your feet.

“With sounds reminiscent of Kathryn Williams, what Emma lacks in stature she more than compensates for in song writing and vocal ability, creating a concentrated hush amongst the audience. “
-Delphine Lawrence, Guestlist
Back in 2001 Emma performed her first solo acoustic gig, and has since gone on to carve out a reputation for herself as a fine and much in demand singer songwriter. She has been compared with artists like PJ Harvey, Suzanne Vega and Harriet Wheeler from The Sundays. Her first solo demo was recorded by Chris Thomson from The Bathers (formerly Love and money) in 2001, and as a result she has gone on to support various artists including:
Astrid Williamson, Duke Special, Fish, Frank Turner, James Grant, Midge Ure, Rose Kemp, The Wrigley Sisters and many more
Seattle punks, Iron Lung grace Sneaky Petes on July 29th for there only Scottish show!
Cold Dead Hands Present
Iron Lung
Two man power violence from Seattle, quite possibly the heaviest duo on the planet. Fitting in a short UK tour round their appearance at Supersonic in Birmingham, where they’ll be playing with the likes of Corrupted and Thorr’s Hammer.
“Iron Lung reshape this form of hardcore into a sound uniquely their own, a tightly constructed assault of hardcore riffs, stop-on-a-dime blastbeats, medical malpractice themed lyrics, lumbering bonebreaking dirges, and fucked dissonance that rips yer skull off in 20 minutes flat. Ultrafast thrash alternates with precision aimed mutant doom, plodding staggering riffs and atonal guitar dissonance, cracked angular melodic figures, all wound together into a blazing prog-damaged blastcore.”

Hammers
Heavy d-beat/crust hardcore from Manchester, influenced by the likes of Cursed, Tragedy, Catharsis etc. Ex Get Stuffed, Funeral Diner, Blackened Heart Syndrome, The Secret and a ton more. Forged in fire under the watchful eye of Odin.

Sufferinfuck
West Lothian grindcore, inspired by early Napalm Death, Man Is The Bastard & Endless Blockade. They like it harsh, fast, slow & noisy. Former/curent Pigscum & Messiah Complex.
