Headfirst Editor's Pick
"A biiiig Shitty Futures four-band tasting platter, headed up by Finnish power-pop-punk marvels Tiikeri. Their timeless sweet-n-snotty Ramonescore hits hard alongside needs-no-introduction garage wunderkind crew Bruno & The Outrageous Methods of Presentation, Cydernide’s scrumpy-soaked breakneck hardcore and Scarebears’ aggy post-punk."

Shitty Futures Presents
TIIKERI (Finland)
Pogo till you die! Infectious Finnish punk rock sitting somewhere between classic ‘77 punk (think The Boys, Buzzcocks etc etc) and Lookout! records bands. Tiikeri scratches the same itch as listening to the Nerves or even Tom Petty – it’s nostalgic, classic and totally catchy power-pop, yet it somehow never loses its punk edge through tight riffs and frenetic delivery. Do not dismiss!

BRUNO AND THE OUTRAGEOUS METHODS OF PRESENTATION
What is there to say about Bruno and the Outrageous Methods of Presentation?? Equally excellent and unhinged, B.O.M.P. plays too-good-to-be-true garage/proto-punk (The Gories, The Scientists) with an absurd, Johnathan Richmond esque rambling-quality. A lot of us have been obsessively playing Bruno’s (yet to be released) E.P - it’s safe to say, it is *chefs kiss* perfecto!

CYDERNIDE
Excited and somewhat terrified to catch these long-running Bristol punk weirdos on the same line-up as the above but here we go! Fast, frantic fuck you punk - see you in the pit!

SCAREBEARS
New-ish Bristol honeys - anthemic, riff heavy punk!
