Punchy guitar riffs, weighty synths, relentless rhythm, The Magnus Puto are a 6 piece from Bristol pioneering a unique electronic take on ska fused with elements of hip-hop and indie rock.

Although many of the band members were school mates from an early age, the band was formed whilst at University in Bristol; half of the band finding each other through a course in architecture. The band has since emerged from the basements of student housing to the bright lights of prominent UK stages.

After the release of their second EP Gettin’ Trouble in early 2013, Magnus Major toured with Reel Big Fish during the UK leg of their World Tour. The jam packed summer saw them supporting the likes of The Beat and The Skints and sharing the stage with Fatboy Slim, The XX, Rizzle Kicks and By The Rivers on the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury. Other highlights included playing the Town Centre stage at Boomtown, Secret Garden Party and Fistral Mainstage at Beach Break Live.

In late 2013 the band learnt the difficult news that Andy needed to have a serious brain operation. After a long recovery, the band began working on new material; one of which is their recent single ‘Feel So Good’. The band is has got back on the circuit since February and were recently tipped by 24-7 Magazine as one of the top 10 Bristol Bands to watch out for in 2014. They have a fully packed summer lined up at many UK festivals as well as another UK tour with Reel Big Fish.

Sicknote are an explosion of post-punk, techno, breakbeat and thigh slapping hill billy acid punk, or something. Nothing can prepare you for the live show these freaks have in store for you poor bastards. Forget your problems, forget work, forget yourself and GET ON THE BUS……
"they is going one way and they ain't coming back"
5 losers from Cardiff met at the legendary dodgy all night after party spot, Netty's Fancy Dress Shop, a few years back and took to the stage to see what would happen if they just 'winged it', a lightening bolt smashed through the roof and life was breathed into what was immediately named: Sicknote. Fast forward a few years and Sicknote are touring Europe and headlining several underground festivals and punk and dance events…. with no skill between them, with just pure faith some cheap tricks and an 'in the moment' ethos,  Sicknote somehow manage to tap into something and whip their audience into a complete frenzy and leave them gagging for more every single time. Get to a live ceremony now, and witness the Sickness.

Rapper, producer, firestarter. Songwriter, multi instrumentalist, raconteur… Dizraeli is a genre of his own. From his cult debut album Engurland / City Shanties (2009) to the explosive new LP Joy Machine (2024) with its visionary mixture of hiphop, post-punk and jazz, Diz has always forged his own way.

A former resident of the legendary Total Refreshment Centre, Dizraeli’s new album Joy Machine was recorded there in a single day, bringing together some of the most exciting musicians in London’s jazz explosion. 

With features from Alabaster DePlume and trumpeter Jonathon Enser (Nubiyan Twist), drums from Ben Brown (Alfa Mist, Mulatu Astatke), bass from uk jazz scene favourite Daisy George, synths from Joseph Costi (Yusef Cat Stevens) and saxophone from free jazzer Ronan Perrett, Joy Machine has already made waves since its release on Def Pressé this summer, including Bandcamp Album Of The Day, 4 stars from Mojo and repeated support from Gilles Peterson.

The album tour hit 15 UK cities and festivals including Boomtown, Boardmasters, WOMAD and Shambala, cementing Dizraeli’s reputation as an explosive and masterful live performer with backing from Ben Brown, Ronan Perrett and Snazzback’s Rich Allen on bass.
