Line Up
The Homosexuals
The Homosexuals formed out of the ashes of The Rejects in London in 1976. The Homosexuals railed against The Establishment controlling not only the media, but also the means of production and distribution as well. At that time any artists not willing to sell their souls to The Establishment were consigned to a lifetime of playing to two men and a dog in Belgium, with only the dog clapping (and not in a Buddhist sense either). In 1977 The Homosexuals gave birth almost single-handedly to the D.I.Y./post-punk/art-punk squat aesthetic movement in London. The Homosexuals are still active, in the form of their creator and main thinker Bruno Wizard. Working with a new generation of radical artists, Wizard is connecting like-minded conscious souls who never did and never will give up.
"The Homosexuals were, one of those late-1970s UK garage-punk bands that deserved to reach a wider audience alongside icons like the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and all the rest." - Marc Hogan, Pitchfork
"Simply put, one of the most flawlessly great British punk/post-punk bands." -WFMU

Hotgothic
'Truly a sight and sound to behold - HOTGOTHIC, in full-on flow. Bringing you the finest sub-two-minute punk-rock masterpieces this side of The Damned, HOTGOTHIC pull no punches. Like G.G. Allin fronting a stripped down Glitter Band, they are like nothing you've ever seen before.' - Kim Widow
'HOTGOTHIC are - and always will be - a band that goes out of their way to shock people out of an apathetic viewing experience. Be it the burning of a ten pound note onstage or their well-produced tongue in cheek videos, the three piece aim to make people sit up and listen to left field subversive thought. If you’ve read a Bret Easton Ellis novel and thought 'Thank god, I’m not alone’, then imagine such transgression set to music. Well, you don’t have to imagine. You just have to press play.' - John Clay, Rock At Night
'That unreleased Throbbing Gristle theme tune to The Muppet Show. On speed, poppers, & too much acid. Disarmingly suave. Disorientating. Genitalia seem to be a recurring lyrical theme.' - Ben Hell
Dennis
Currently working with record label All The Mad Men with their forthcoming album being produced by Grant Showbiz (The Smiths, The Fall, BIlly Bragg), Dennis are a London four piece. They came together through a desire to combine a socially and politically reflective, irreverent style of song writing that embraces the ethos of punk with a stripped down, exploratory musical style.
After the successful launch and busy events in the realm of their own label Hang Yourself Records, Dennis are looking to expose themselves further ahead of their highly awaited album release.
SLEAZE
Brewing from the ever-growing South London scene, Sleaze capture the sound of frustration every man, woman and child feels towards our country's repulsive politicians, imploding economy and bacterial gastro-pubs
