Thu 22nd May 19.30 Derby BOTBs 18s and Over Semi-Final 1

Diatribe - A feisty three piece creating thumping tunes to their own formula. They mix all-out rock with a punk attitude and aren't afraid to have fun in the process. They never stand still and tend to jump from one idea to the next without warning, but they also contain a more melodic element that sometimes seeps out in their songs, but never enough to take it away from their powerful delivery.

Pressure - Pressure combine prog/rock sax fused with punk/rock guitars, with gritty melodic vocals in a red/black haze of frantic energy.
Sax Rock at its best!

The Roulette – A three piece rock n roll band. With influences such as Jimi Hendrix, The Stone Roses, and The Libertines. They provide an exciting and energetic live performance guaranteed to leave you wanting more.

Everything On Red - Described as “an assault on the ears and mind”, they play fractured retro-electro punk that combines raw emotion and energy with mesmerising changes in rhythm. The band’s range of influence is diverse, their ability to write music with quicksilver changes in direction and thought provoking lyrics will suggest a mix of bands spanning decades. From Crimson and Giant through Fugazi and Refused to Brand New and Saves the Day.

Rebel Teritory - A brash young power trio featuring a guitarist who might just be the first guitar hero to come out of England for a long long time. They have grown up on a diet of Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Beatles and Oasis whilst metal influenced drummer Sean Skinner blends together Rebel Territory. Their sound, unsurprisingly, is an exhilarating mix of psychedelia, heavy Brit rock riffs and soaring choruses. Classic elements, a fresh approach.
