CUBA is a new musical project formed in Brighton (UK) by two members of Red Cloud, Pablo Alvarez (Bame) and Ivan Montesano (Cuko).

Having played throughout Europe in the past years (Spain, Germany, France, Belgium, UK) CUBA is currently focusing its activity in England, particularly London and Birmingham.

Its sound is hard to classify, but it takes influences from sludge-garage-noisy-grunge rock, Latin American rhythms, Spanish folk music and transnational sounds in general.

Frantic Action is just a dirty stain on this country’s lingerie.

The foundations of this band first appeared in the summer of 2010.
A drastic line-up change & a few years down the line, from the ruins of SuperWreck, they bring to you the official sound of the Frantic Action!

Influences include Sublime, Rob Zombie, The Doors and The Offspring.

Million Empire came hurtling onto the Midlands music scene in October 2008 like a starved lion released from a cage with a need to vent pure emotion through music. Lacking in direct-to-vein, sincere alternative music, the scene was awash with mediocre, stale metal bands and bland-but-catchy pop kids. What set Million Empire apart was that their music was honest, unintentionally difficult to pigeon-hole and not trying to be something that it’s not.

Drawing on influences from the band’s collective love of 90’s alt-rock and singer/guitarist Wes Knight’s love of singer-songwriters, the band cultivated a sound that juxtaposed thunderous rampaging choruses with sensitive, whispered verses. Helped by drummer Paulie Willis’ distinctively incendiary drumming style, the band soon gained a reputation for being the heaviest melodic band in town.
