The Darts return! Anyone who was at their Scottish shows last will still be recovering from the sheer garagepunkrockin' onslaught of The Darts. Both shows (all three, if you count Barlinnie Prison) were TOTALLY sold out, so you better grab tickets for this fast!

"Matching the garage rock ferocity of The Sonics to prime early 60s girl groups... Reminiscent of The Ronettes given a Ramones style overhaul, their evil charms arrive covered in blood-soaked glamour.

The Bonnevilles are shaking Northern Ireland in a way it hasn't felt since Van Morrison & Them obliterated Club Rado in 1964 and Stiff Little Fingers blew apart The Trident in 1977! The Bonnevilles don't so much play punk blues as use it as a spring board to create a completely new genre.

With a heritage like that they just had to rock'n'roll!
