Described by The Guardian as "the best punk band in Britain using guitar/bass/drums/vox," Bad Breeding have already built up quite the reputation. Their riffs are scathing, their vocals distorted, and live they're an incendiary force.
But as a band, they're disillusioned with the world. They want you to know where they're from and rather than sending out the usual spiel in a press release, they share facts about their hometown, Stevenage:
More Stevenage teenagers are getting pregnant than anyone else in the country according to the Office for National Statistics.
However, the number of conceptions there has fallen by when compared to statistics from 2011, when the town again recorded the highest rate in the country.
If you ever happen to actually be in Stevenage, Trip Advisor recommends Laser Kombat Park, giving it 4.5 stars. The Surma Tandoori serves onion bhajis that are, somewhat suspiciously, about the size of a large rat.

LICE
https://www.facebook.com/licebristol/?fref=ts
Blending the fuzzed-out delivery of The Fall and The Country Teasers with the seedy noisiness of the Birthday Party, post-punk band LICE are liberatingly discomforting and gloriously heavy. Over the past month they've had a run of incendiary gigs including a headline show at The Louisiana, an opening slot for The Fat White Family, Meatraffle and Shame and their first London show opening the 'Black Cat Cafe' Festival at Camden's Lock Tavern. For fans of songs about fishing, sexual predators, accidents with industrial farming equipment and cowboys.
RICKYFITTS
London/Bristol based two piece - Rickyfitts. Self proclaimed punks, but with a far more expansive sound than they might let on. Rickyfitts are an explosion of bizarre lo-fi distortion, HEAVY riffs and Albini-esque anger. It's like the late 80's and early 90s spat out a puddle of primordial goo and blasted a shedload of voltage through it. Not to be missed.
GHOST OF THE AVALANCHE
Ghost of The Avalanche are a two-piece, noise-punk band from the south-west of the UK.
Built on a love of listening to 80s punk tapes and watching old horror films, bassist/vocalist Nick Wiltone and drummer/vocalist Miles Per-Hour formed their duo with the purpose of stripping music back to it's bones. The result is much like those early monochrome movies, a slick, eerie aesthetic on the surface, with a beast below.
Whilst drawing comparisons to bands such as Death From Above 1979 and The Bronx, the band themselves insist their influences lie in early 80s hardcore (Black Flag, The Misfits, The Ramones) and 50s pop (The Ronnettes, Elvis Presley and Fats Domino). It's this bizarre blend of sweet and sour that makes Ghost Of The Avalanche unique in their sound.
“What a great noise – power, energy, commitment with a lyric that leaps straight to the jugular. For me this is pop songwriting at the diametric opposite end of the spectrum from Simon Cowell: fresh, vital, vigorous and huge fun, without an ounce of fat anywhere.” – Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
