The Duel keep the raucous spirit of classic punk alive in the 21st Century with their full length DIY debut ‘Lets Finish What We Started’ driven by the high-impact vocals of Tara Rez and the exciting melodies, grooves and riffs of bassist/keyboardist Andy Theirum.

Citizen Keyne are a punk/oi band based out of Milton Keynes and have been together as a band for 5 years although during that time there have been some line up changes.
   
With 2 self financed albums to date 'Ungreat Britain' and 'Stand Proud' both of which have been hailed by people that matter, such as Fungalpunk Dave, as classics. Work is already underway for album 3 with MFS records.
 
The CK CV boasts support slots to names like Cockney Rejects, ANL, Vice Squad, TMF, UK Subs to name but a few and the band can usually be found gigging most weekends.

 Charred Hearts started life in Swindon in 1981, originally called The Corpses. The name change took place in 1983. As 15 and 16 year olds they were formed after the demise of their other bands the BCGS and Static Annoyers. These four urchins found a common bond in their music tastes and street drinking. Like many teenage punks from the provinces, a Thatcherite England made their mini-rebellion easy. For five years they plugged away and played with bands such as the Subhumans, Chumbawumba, Newtown Neurotics, Rubella Ballet and Action Pact. They were followed by their loyal 'corpses barmy army' (they never accepted the name change) . However by 1986 they realised they were treading water and called it a day.

A chance meeting of all four original members in 2000 put into motion the idea of a one-off reunion. In early 2001 they were back rehearsing.

And now after 29 years Charred Hearts have hit the ground running!

The Culprits formed at the end of 2008 after the demise of the ACS of which they were all members!
Their ethos is, dooooo it! Play it fast, play it loud, play it anywhere! They just wanna play and do what we do! Play punk!
Now the band have a blend of ear bending, life enhanced, politically fuelled punk that will have you leaping, begging for more! Punk rocks!
