The masked Del Roswells have an other world vibe that matches their UFO related name. Theirs is a surf sound from outer space, a Cramps and a Devo cover thrown in cements that view. The band is masked up and playing sounds from beyond with some meticulous musicianship and attention to detail. Cool and very danceable!
Dead Raze have been kicking it large for a few years now. The duo have completely adapted to their stripped down yet big sounding bluesified rock n roll. There are songs in there not just riffs and their stompy proto punk blues carries it forward visiting MC5 and The Stooges and morphing a host of influences into being a garage band for the now.
The Darts hail from the US and seem to have gigged/toured across Europe and the US with a host of big names including L7, Rancid and The Damned. Their sound is again garage driven with more than a hint of the Spector about it. They seem determined to make the gig a party (and they succeed). They are a huge ball of fun wrapped around some intense playing and singing and don’t put a foot wrong with the a packed Quarry venue.
