the JUKEEZ
Canada
The Jukeez are the new sensation of the Quebec garage music scene. With two members of the well-known band Les Envahisseurs (Julie Sauriol & Olivier Mercedi) and a third member called Simon Von Tiki, these fuzz beasts introduce us to a first studio album full of rabid, raw and melodic garage nuggets. They love to party, fuzz, terror and humour, armed with a powerful voice, sharp guitars and a powerful rhythm section these three furious cats bring a huge vintage and cavernous sound that will undoubtedly delight the followers of the most primitive and festive rock & roll.
the LOTTS
UK
The Lotts are a Warrington based four piece garage punk band.
The band’s main influences are Beefheart, Zappa, The Stooges and The New York Dolls with a hefty blend of the Velvet Underground. Yet intriguingly these artists only became known to the band when other people began making comparisons.
At first the Lotts were just doing what they did, it wasn’t about copying anyone. They were inspired to pick up guitars by Ty Segall and Mac Demarco but the sound that evolved was from another era entirely.
the CAEZARS
UK
Described by Vive Le Rock magazine as "Surf-infused rockabilly badasses", The Caezars are back to conquer the world after an almost 10-year hiatus.
TimeOut magazine called their sound "vintage styled surf-rock & rock 'n' roll that Tarantino would be proud of".
They have performed with icons such as The Vaccines, Brian Setzer, Adam Ant, and Imelda May, who described them as "about 70 per cent Rockabilly with a big chunk of post-punk, with an electricity I love".
And Mudkiss magazine declared to have "the song-writing skills and live-ability to re-energise Rockabilly music for a whole new generation".
A band to be missed at your peril!

QUICK ROMANCE
UK
If the bass line from The Rezillos’ “Flying Saucer Attack” married the vocal line from X-Ray Spex’s “Oh Bondage, Up Yours!”,
with The Shangri-Las as bridesmaids; that’s Quick Romance.
Singer, Matilda Scotland and her bandmates are real mean teens, in love with clothes, music and Brian Jones’s hair.
If you want to know what you are about to experience, why don’t you try imagining PolyStyrene joining The Sick Things for a chorus of “Bondage Boy”.
