☆Eight Rounds Rapid☆
"Edgy, drugged-up thug punk. Loss Leader is Thames Estuary crude given a vital contemporary twist. Invest now."
8/10
— Uncut
"On tracks such as Writeabout, singer David Burke's quick-fire Essex-drawl conveys barbed verse worthy of John Cooper Clarke or Mark E.Smith."
★★★★
— Mojo
Eight Rounds Rapid’s songs are rooted in trad blues, but guitar from Simon Johnson and singer David Alexander’s acerbic delivery make the act sound like John Cooper Clarke and Mark E Smith jamming in a Southend bus depot, with their gritty tales of the Essex underworld.
The group gained a national audience when they supported Wilko Johnson on his UK Farewell Tour, winning over BBC DJs, Artrocker magazine and a clutch of bloggers with their polarising performances at Koko London.

☆The Hurricanes☆ are a loud Mod Garage band playing 60s Soul, R&B and Boss British Beat like it was 1966 all over again. Four chaps who had been around the musical block decided to get it together to be the kind of band they'd like to go and see themselves.

Hurricanes Clarke, Jones & Robinson spent many years from the mid nineties chasing the fetid corpse of the britpop infused music industry around in cult heroes Collide who put out 2 Eps before quitting. Hurricane Norton, having spent a couple of years being Collides brass section, would become the low slung bass playing lynchpin of punk/ska legends The Pressure Tones before they split. From playing covers in their first few gigs, the band inevitably started writing their own material. And even more inevitably felt that they wanted to record.

The bands debut single 'Cool Jerk' came out in 2016 on Let Go! Records with their debut album 'Let's Go!' following two years later. Since then the band have signed with the ultra hip Spinout Nuggets label and put out another 2 albums - 'Look Out! It's The Hurricanes' (2020) and last years album 'Here Comes The Storm'.

☆Problem Tenants☆
Three old pals from way back bumped into each other at a gig. They said, let's have a jam next week, liked what occurred, and before they knew it they had a smashing set of their own tunes, influenced by elements of garage, mod, psych & punky rhythm & blues.

Featuring former, & current members of The Fallen Leaves, The Aardvarks, Spellbinder Project, The SD5, Thee Escapees.
Ladies and gentlemen we give you...
The Problem Tenants.
