3 piece from deepest, darkest Bedfordshire. 

Drums - Alex Acreman
Vocals & Bass - Olie Campbell
Guitar & Backing Vocals - Dom Notarangelo


Without sounding too cliché with the typical band bios....Big Nothing are a 3 piece from the middle of Bedfordshire. There are 3 members - Alex on drums, Olie on vocals and bass and Dom on guitar. We can all play our instruments so that's a good start....

What do we sound like? That's the million dollar question, but elements of alternative rock, grunge, post rock and soundscape all feature. Or you can make up your own minds.

Gigs dates will all be updated regularly so be sure to check us out. And any beer donations will be gratefully received! 

Peace,

Big Nothing

Honest John are a 4 piece ‘Outlaw Funk’ Rock band hailing from Bedfordshire in the UK. HJ’s music is infused with Funk, Blues & Soul. This is filtered through melodic & psychedelic sensibilities that come rolling like waves, delivering quixotic riffs with subtle splendour designed to weave into your consciousness.

HJ draw from a deep well of Classic & Modern influences and sounds in the hope of creating something passionate, melodic, emotional, honest (forgive the pun) and unique. Come and catch HJ live or buy the music and find out if you agree. This is music for the people! This is OUTLAW FUNK!

HJ formed at the start of 2015 featuring members of previous Bedfordshire based bands Horseman Shakes & The Draymen & Chaos Calling. The band comprises Katy Haynes - Bass, Dan Jack - Drums, Rob Muir - Guitar & Alex Small - Vocals. Established 2015. Raising the bar ever since.

HERD BEHAVIOUR are a new Grunge/Psych Rock band from Bedford, England.

Formed in early 2016, the band is composed of Rob Muir (vocals, guitar), Dom Notarangelo (guitar), Simon Wilson (bass) and Luke Tuchscherer (drums).

The band makes a hell of a noise, inspired by the Seattle-based bands of their youth, but with their own psychedelic post-rock twist. Expect mighty riffs, impassioned vocals, pounding drums and fuzz. Lots of fuzz.

Herd Behaviour are currently playing shows having recently wrapped up recording material for the debut album and securing support slots for bands such as Muncie Girls & My Vitriol!

Herd Behaviour will be releasing their debut album 'Animal Habitual' on 25th August 2017 proceeded by the single 'Low Sun' on August 4th 2017. The former will coincide with a hometown album launch show (Bedford Esquires - Bedford) with some special guests to celebrate the achievement.

Hard Rockers from Hitchin accompany their fresh vocal tones with aggressive guitars and powerful rhythms. TheElectricBlack@hotmail.com

The Whybirds are a three-piece rock 'n' roll band from Bedford, England. 

All three members (Dave Banks, Ben Haswell and Luke Tuchscherer) are singer/songwriters – giving the group a diverse range of songs and vocal styles – but without straying from The Whybirds' sanguine brand of rock 'n' roll. 

Classic Rock journalist Derek Oliver said: "The Whybirds have it all; songs, musicianship and a sense of maturity that most acts of this kind can’t even comprehend. I’ve lost count of the amount of times that Q, Uncut or Word magazine has banged on about alt.country artists to hear music that sounds like its been recorded in a bathroom by clueless embryonic singer/songwriters. 

"These guys are the real deal, you’ll be hearing more of The Whybirds some time soon." 

According to Americana UK, The Whybirds "...sound like Pearl Jam having a fist fight with The Allman Brothers in Don Henley’s back yard. But what’s more important is that The Whybirds might just be the hardest working and hardest rocking band in Britain right now – a band destined for greatness". 

The Whybirds release their eagerly awaited follow up to 2010’s critically acclaimed Cold Blue Sky (7/10 – Classic Rock, 4/5 – R2 Rock N Reel, 4/5 – Maverick Country) on 14 October 2013. 

Entitled A Little Blood, the album was produced by Nick Mailing and features single “The Cure”.

The band’s previous releases – which also include Live Recordings Vol. 1 (2011), The Whybirds (2008) and Tonight EP (2007) – are available from the online store and from iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and other digital media.


Five souls who, in the studio and on the stage have a wordless chemistry that provides escape, catharsis and the release of making music and creating... for the love of it. Not for genre labels, kudos or credibility, because ultimately all that matters in Pearl Handled Revolver happens in the moment.

Sometimes the result is Heavy Rock, sometimes Jazz rears its head and the spectre of Funk and RnB loom large; the exploratory spirit of Psyche and Prog always hangs heavy, allowing the band to fly just as the Blues roots them and marks the grain of their fingerprints. The only expectation with any weight is that, once together, time gives way to music.

In 16 years Pearl Handled Revolver have created 5 self-produced studio albums, 2 live albums, 4 EPs, a retrospective collection. Through countless shows and hours rehearsing and recording. Sharing ideas, chatting and laughing in the studio, births, marriages, separation and deaths. On the road there have been service stations, coffee good and appalling, dressing rooms, hotels, hostels, sofas, floors and caravans. All memories and inspiration for whatever comes next... And there will always be more.

"Tales You Lose is more than just a collection of songs—it’s an immersive, atmospheric journey. The band’s ability to blend brooding rock, soulful blues, and haunting psychedelia makes this album an unmistakable triumph. Each track carries emotional weight and sonic depth, with powerful vocals, swirling keys, and evocative guitar work creating a cinematic experience."
Jace Media Music

"Tales You Lose is a true masterpiece, a heartfelt homage to Rock ‘N’ Roll at its finest. They’ve seamlessly blended Rock, Blues, Prog, and Jazz into a sound that hits every note just right, and I’m all for it. This is a release you DO NOT want to miss, and trust me, that’s coming from someone who thrives on artists that scream into my ears 24/7!"
10/10 - Novacaine

"Each of the tracks making up the album are strong in their own right but that being said, this isn’t just a collection of songs, they’re best appreciated as a piece. In fact, despite the thoroughly electric nature of the music, organic might be a good way to describe a lot of what’s going on here. It feels natural and real, free of artifice. The whole album is greater than the sum of its parts."
