PENS

straight up, this girls are hip! they are one of the greats in the lo-fi punk scene. they are bringing back some original aesthetics back to punk music in the fact that they cant play all that well. but this doesnt mean they cant right good songs, no way sir! they have some awesome pop punk tunes up their short sleeve sleeves. there is a certain charm found in their vocal led, keyboard, drums and guitar combo! they are the sugababes of lo-fi punk and they are sticking it to the man! dont worry kids, you dont need to be able to play guitar to be able to play guitar. Pens!!! anthems like "High In The Cinema" and "Freddy" will get you whipping your pens out. damn son.

GAY AGAINST YOU

The greatest spazztronics band ever! they throw together electro, pop, prog hardcore, post hardcore, all kinds of hardcore and techno. Thus giving birth to music that sounds like a screaming destruction orgy of colour and giant dogs. The programmed drums hammer at super speeds and the bleeps and bloops just go nuts as a backdrop to their accented wails and shrieks. Gay Against You hail from Glasgow, they have just discovered something amazing and they want to shout in your face about it. Seeing them live will give you a new outlook on life, buy their records and go get the whole family involved!

SAVANT

these dudes hail from birmingham, the home of dream bands like Johhny Foreigner. whats even more cool is the fact that they are only like 15/16 years old and they are busting out tunes that would give Foals a run for their money. skatter brained rythms combine with pounding drums and OH MAN! can they tap!!! their guitar wizardy is something else my friends. i'd tap that.
