Cynics | See The Cynics on Myspace
Formed more than 20 years ago by the head honcho of Get Hip Recordings, Gregg Kostelich, The Cynics are a garage-punk institution. This Pittsburgh band have seen many trends come and go, but through it all, they’ve always stuck to real basic rock’n’roll. And that’s something that’ll never go out of style.

King Salami & the Cumberland 3 | See King Salami on Myspace
The King howls like Screaming Jay Hawkins with Bo Diddley chasing his coat-tail and with Andre Williams trying to offer up some of his bacon fat. -
Vicars | See Thee Vicars on Myspace
Teenage rock'n'roll terrorists from the small town of Bury St Edmunds on a mission to kung-fu kick all the boring bands out of existence! Real raw and vintage sounding garage-rock'n'roll! Yeah!

Billy Childish & The Musicians Of The British Empire | See The MBEs on Myspace
With his latest combo, The Musicians of the British Empire, Billy carries on his tradition of home made punk and rhythm and blues, singing odes to Joe Strummer and nodding to The Who, whilst showing the next generation what a real rock ’n’ roll group sounds like.
R.I.P. Nikola Acin
The singer/rhythm guitarist from my favourite of the current crop of French garage-rock groups has sadly, some would say stupidly, died from an overdose. By all accounts, Acin was most definitely one of the good guys - funny, enthusiastic, passionate. He wrote about music but unlike most rock critics he could put his money where is mouth is and play rock'n'roll like he meant it. Because he did mean it. We tried to get the Hellboys to come over to play Dirty Water but, despite briefly having them confirmed to play in September last year, it never, in the end, actually happened. Have a listen what we all missed out on at the Hellboys' Myspace page.
