Oxjam Bracknell 2014-2016. The original Oxjam brought to Bracknell in 2014 raised nearly £1,800 over 3 years for the charity Oxfam with the aim of uniting the local music scene & community through music. Thanks to all that played, helped out, attended & supported. Who knows maybe one day the original may return if our efforts are ever respected by the local music scene we tried to help.  Until then, those unsigned acts that send in their tagged mp3's to discoverunsigned@gmx.com will get airplay all over the world via http://discoverunsigned.airtime.pro & some will get paid showcase gigs in London & maybe Berkshire in the future.  Please follow and support what we are doing now at http://www.facebook.com/discoverunsigned & find us here at http://www.soundcloud.com/discoverunsigned thank you.

HotHooves - Fake Modern Art -Released 30/11/12 on Rivet Gun Records.

Deep crunch.  This is what sets Oxford's punk melodists Hot Hooves apart from people who, like, want to be in a band, yeah?  

They’re back . . . 10 more scintillating, sideways glancing, wry, rollicking, combustive cuts of quality latter-day punkrok, made by twilight dwelling daddy-o’s for the refuse-nik to grow up generation. 

Locked into Shonk Studios and lashed onwards by former Candyskin John Halliday, the four fools wept real blood (a miracle) and sweated real ale and vegetarian jalfrezi in order to complete Fake Modern Art.  That’s the title of their new album.  

It opens with footstomping anthem Youth Activator, in which singer Mac, recently released from a Middle Eastern prison cell, rages against protest as a subsidized leisure option.  The ten songs range from demented robot wars to pounding hyper-disco.  By the end, in desperation, HH turn to 70s guitar boogie as co-vocalist Momtchiloff warns they are 'Too Fuxxed Up To Fix'.

So, everyman …. 6.5 metric songs about how your lives are being messed up by forces you have no control over and 3.5 metric songs about ‘characters’ who appear to have needed no help in the process …. It’s like Charles Dickens grew a Mohican.

The dissident foursome have been linked to anti-capitalist and anti-Swindon protest movements.  At recent concert simulations the band have deployed sonic assault and radical performance ritual to disrupt the audience's use of handheld devices.  One band member has a small child and is hoping for clemency.
