MAPACHE are a three piece band from North London featuring Charlie of The Ten O Sevens, Liam of The Gaggers and Cunha of Trash Culture and Virvon Varvon.

Skateboarding and punk rock is their running theme with chaos and carnage trailing behind them..

But this is at no fault of their own. With a video for the track HEAD off of the PEACE TIME EP, Mapache have plenty to look forward to. To describe their sound it can only come down to two things; simple chord progressions tied together with poetic illiteracy.

Sweaty sludge punk four piece based out of a former ear nose and throat hospital in central London, Hearing Tests combine the noise and dissonance of post-hardcore with the speed and aggression of hardcore punk.

Hearing Tests were formed in January, 2022. They are Kuba Starzyński (vocals), Ed Harper (drums) Mark Cairns (bass) and Bill Duffy (guitar).

Menace are the best punk band in England today!" enthused Sniffing Glue way back then. Menace were one of the wave of punk bands to explode out of the London scene in the summer of '77. They epitomised everything about that incredible year. they played all the main punk gigs like the Roxy, Hope & Anchor and Vortex, as well as Rock Against Racism festivals, building up a large following.

The Straitjackets are a three piece garage rock band hailing from the UK's south coast. Their live performances exude intense energy and their loose symphony of fuzz and primal noise on stage will get you moving your feet to these fuzzy freaks.

Kitchen Lover

The decade was the 1950’s; The Chats & Dead Kennedys were in a thriving monogamous relationship and decided it was the right time to birth a child. Said child would then grow up to start the 50’s punk revolution, carving their sound out of raw garage riffs and poppy hooks. Conceived in the kitchen, they thought only right to name their child, Kitchen Lover.

Garageland Brighton - Black Groove, Crowgod, Chub, Wimp

Garageland London brings the party to the seaside with our next instalment of Garageland Brighton at The Pipeline!!

Black Groove
https://www.facebook.com/Blackgroovedoom/

Black Groove are Jake, Jyff, Gareth and Sam. They are the soundtrack to your liquified body being pulled slowly into the tar pits by the doom demons below.

They are a sludgy-doom 4 piece that burn bright with a punk authenticity, this reaches beyond just the standard mesmeric pace of the doom genre. They grab you by the face and violently take you with them. The maniacal and desperate screams pierce through the deep, chest shaking unisoned riffs, the shifts of pace throw you to all out maelstrom. But, there is triumph in this. In the madness. They revel in the filth. And you're dragged into that. Dragged into Black Grooves filthy pit of crisis doom. Put it this way, Black Sabbath would shake your hand, Black Groove would eat it. Piece by piece, and smile while doing it.

Crowgod
https://linktr.ee/crowgod

Crowgod are a Heavy-Doom sludge style band from Brighton whom interject moments of beautiful clarity with controlled chaos at their live shows. Expect chonky riffs and melodic madness

Chub
https://www.facebook.com/chubtheband

CHUB came to be as a means of battling lager-soaked frustration in the aftermath of the 2019 UK general election. Four lifelong friends raging against the machine, with topics ranging from generational discontent and the corruption of the public square, to more light hearted topics like pounding pints and saggy scrotes- their mantra is “you’ve gotta laugh or you’ll cry”. Best described as “metal-infused party punk”, they’ve carved out a niche for themselves somewhere in between The Chats, Noam Chomsky, and a greasy chicken kebab.
