SHARKS
https://www.facebook.com/sharksuk

Born and raised in Royal Leamington Spa, Sharks are a British rock group with absolute heart that embellish their hardcore D.I.Y ethics with the raw power of the soul. After the success of their first two EPs, and subsequent tours with Gallows, The Ghost of a Thousand & F**ked Up, the band spent eight months touring America on Warped Tour, and playing shows with the likes of Social Distortion and Hot Water Music. Returning home in early 2012, Sharks released their debut album No Gods, which NME called, "joyous blue-collar punk… a starry-eyed celebration of yearning on a US factory floor, as idealized by British spa town punks."

Now the four-piece are back with their much-anticipated sophomore album, Selfhood, due for release on 30th April 2013 via Rise Records. The new release expands on the explosive punk meets Brit pop anthems on No Gods, and showcases a more mature and solid live band.

The songs on Selfhood spotlight the band's effortless knack for crafting raw punk rock anthems, sharp guitar-fueled melodies, and emotionally charged heart-felt lyrics - channeling their foremost influencer The Smiths more confidently than ever before. Clocking it an under 30 minutes and with just 10 tracks, Selfhood bleeds honesty, passion, and an insistent spirit of youthful wanderlust.

BLEACH BLOOD

Born out of a bunch of songs written a bedroom somewhere in the vibrant warehousing district of London's Manor House comes Bleach Blood. This is Jamie's complied love of 70′s (post) punk, dance, electronica and pop music.

Along with the thundering beats of Invisible Frank, Charlie Elliot synthed up bass lines and touring guitarist Paul Mullen's math psych guitars, expect honest songs about love, loss, escapism, friendship and whatever else falls out of their collective heads.

This is Bleach Blood… Pleased to meet you.
