Inspired as much by the sound of your neighbours arguing at 3 o'clock in the morning and the wailing of sirens and the crashing of doors in a dawn raid as they are by their musical heroes, The November Five have been rightly recognised as one of London's most incendiary and exciting live bands.

Creating a rock'n'roll noise that's made when MENSA collides with ASBO, the band's two self-released singles 'Closure' and 'Awake in a Daze' have received international radio support from stations as varied as BBC 6 Music, Xfm (plus a session for John Kennedy’s Xposure show), BBCs Radio 1, London, Berkshire and Cambridgeshire in the UK as well as KROQ's legendary tastemaker Rodney Bingenheimer in LA and Rob Quicke's nationally syndicated Britsound Show in the US.

The November Five's debut album, If You're Satisfied You Are Dead, was released to universal acclaim.

But don't just take our word for it - here's what the press says:

"'If You're Satisfied You Are Dead' is an atmospheric opening salvo from a band with great promise" - Uncut

"The November Five provide the essential antidote to the insipid rise of Merchant-Ivory boy-band folk-rock" - Rock'n'Reel

"The November Five hold the flame for all we hold dear about rock'n'roll" - Louder Than War

"The November Five's debut basks on the heady excitement of rock'n'roll" - Music OMH

"If you like the incendiary music of The MC5, The Stooges, The Birthday Party, Jim Jones Revue or The Cramps then go get their singles and album. Even better still, go watch then live as you will not be disappointed in the slightest." Shindig magazine

"The November Five combine the driving sneer of Earl Brutus with some very British bombast - in The November Five's hands, guitars do, very much squall." The Quietus

“The November Five are gathering momentum and things are only going to get bigger. Their incendiary politicised debut is highly recommended” Vive Le Rock.

"This very English ensemble's street spirit makes for refreshingly imaginative listening." Big Cheese

Work is now in progress for their second album - stay tuned!


In a world turned upside down its good to know that the true spirit of rock ’n’ roll is burning bright. Enter Smithereen a london based 3 piece who punch well above their weight with their own brand of frenetic garage rock. 
With the fire power of The Stooges and the haunting melancholy of bands like Joy Division they deliver a real punch. There's no mild mannered apologists here this music is straight up, they like to tell it like it is without trying to pull the wool over your eyes. 
Sit back and enjoy, Smithereen truly is a fantastic beast.
