    Ramonas

    The Ramonas are the UK's original all girl tribute to the Ramones, one of the most influential punk rock bands in history.

    The Ramonas capture the magic which the Ramones had in their early days with their intense on stage energy levels whilst looking much better than Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee or Marky ever did. Unfortunately it will never be possible to see the Ramones live again so the Ramonas are the next best thing for any punk rock fan.

    Dean Van Jones - Guitar/Vox
    Jasper 'Guitar' Vincent - Guitar/Vox

    The Nameless Girl

    On a warm summers evening in 2010, fueled with wine, broken glass and cigarettes, lay in wait the creation of a British bi-polar pop rock monster. The Musical freight-train that is The Nameless Girl was created from a musical one night stand with no protection in sight. The aftermath witnessed a coming together of six talented yet troubled minds who’s union signified the start of something special, complicated and evidently genius.
