Bobby Funk
Smart people think its stupid, stupid people think its smart… either way this Cornish 4-piece put on one hell of a show. Bobby Funk are a firm favourite in the UK DIY punk scene, with arguably the greatest song about the feline species ever written. Blending hardcore/street punk, with a dash of surf, and plenty of surrealism thrown in for good measure, we can’t wait for them to join the party.

Bigfatbig
Hailing from the North East, Bigfatbig play anthemic pop-punk with elements of surf-pop, emo and much more. Its upbeat, yet angry and it’s great; sunny vibes contrast with pissed-off social commentary which is all somehow delivered with such boundless energy that you can’t help but sing along.

Grail Guard
Coventry-based noise makers, Grail Guard, play high-octane, OG-style hardcore punk that will blow your socks off. Expect fast and furious tunes about heritage and shout-a-long choruses that take a big swipe at the capitalist hellscape that we find ourselves in.

Blagged
So, tell me what you want what you really, really want… if that’s infectious, melodic punk rock, served tighter than a duck’s rear end, then Blagged is the band for you! The Manchester-based DIY punk faves deliver break-neck, sing-a-long tunes about feminism, oppression and breaking down barriers, in such a manner that you can’t help but join in. This is punk rock with purpose. It’s time to get Blagged.

Sourflake
Sourflake are a four-piece punk band from Liverpool turning the genre on its head. Mixing classic punk, riot grrrl, grunge and more, they are renowned for their raucous live performances and political tunes ‒ you might find yourself struggling to decide on whether to mosh or dance!

Bureau De Change
BDC are an up and coming punk/post-punk from the South West that are known for the raw energy of their live performances, sardonic humour and righteous feminist fury. The band have been garnering more and more attention of late, so get out and see them in a small venue while you can. Spread the word, the bureau is open for business in Manchester!

Animal Byproducts
Infectiously hooky, patriarchy-poking, folk-punk showcasing smart songwriting, heartfelt melodies and scintillating trumpet blasts. This four-piece will make you want to sing and bounce at the same time, leaving you with a warm fuzzy feeling for all that’s good in the DIY punk scene.

The Click Clacks
An Irishman walks into a bar in Manchester…he picks up a guitar and melts your face with acoustic folk-punk bangers. It’s no laughing matter. It’s a cockroach scratching in your ear, bound for your brain. You wont be able to get the tunes out of your head, I’m afraid.

The Latchkey Kids
The Latchkey Kids are a 3 piece nostalgia-drenched pop punk from Manchester. The band deliver a British take on the Midwest emo tradition (self-described as Northwest emo), and have been garnering plenty of attention following a string of class releases and energetic live shows. With catchy singalong melodies, mind-blowing riffs and clever songwriting the band are not to be missed!

The Sewer Cats
Ferocious, fuzzy, feline-inclined… The Sewer Cats are an explosive Manchester-based garage punk duo delivering riotous tunes of patriarchy-smashing fury and seething social commentary. Their short and snappy songs have been described as ‘catchy and scathing’, bursting with hardcore-blues riffs and aggressive riot-grrrl vocals, all served up with a big helping of tongue-in-cheek sass.
