Born out of the boredom of being under represented at shows all across the south west and London, Rudegirl Reckless has created a line-up aimed specifically at girls to encourage more diversity at punk shows. Rudegirl Reckless is here to create an unpretentious, hipster-free zone where dress codes and £10 pints don’t exist. Featuring a line up of some of the strongest UK bands with female
members, and stalls with zines, vegan food and feminist information, we can finally stand up and take back the floor.
Featuring:
MORAL DILEMMA
Moral Dilemma began in 2006 playing around the London squat scene, often through make do pa’s out of old guitar amps, with mics duct-taped to cymbal stands, playing their own brand of straight forward loud, fast, abrasive punk rock with split male/ female vocals.
Word spread quickly of their intense live show and they became a staple of the London punk scene and had developed into such an arse kicking, ball grabbing, tear your throat out and feed it to you force of nature that a loyal and passionate fan base began to follow them wherever they played from piss filled squats in hackney to every other venue in the capital. No two shows were the same, and the amount of passion and heart on display was amazing to watch.

PETTYBONE
Pettybone were drawn together through the individual struggles they had encountered in their lives and the desire to speak up about their experiences. Their music is “the sound of the revolt”; raw, angry and deeply emotional, taking you sonically on a journey of self-empowerment. Put more simply by the band : “what once was powerless becomes powerful and the catalyst for this change is Pettybone”

CAVES
Caves are a raw, melodic, pop punk three piece from Bristol (UK). Dead catchy songs with girl/boy vocals. They often get compared to bands such as Superchunk, Lemuria, Fifth Hour Hero, Flamingo 50 and The Cut-Ups.

"That state of deprivation though is, of course, the condition that many of those rioting endure as their unbending reality. No education, a weakened family unit, no money and no way of getting any. JD Sports is probably easier to desecrate if you can’t afford what’s in there and the few poorly paid jobs there are taken. Amidst the bleakness of this social landscape, squinting all the while in the glare of a culture that radiates ultraviolet consumerism and infrared celebrity. That daily, hourly, incessantly enforces the egregious, deceitful message that you are what you wear, what you drive, what you watch and what you watch it on, in livid, neon pixels. The only light in their lives comes from these luminous corporate messages. No wonder they have their fucking hoods up."
