This kinda sucks!! Especially nowadays! Don't forget to support your local bands...

- Buy merch.
- Go to shows.
- Visit Bandcamp and pay for their music.
- Share their status', leave comments, subscribe to their media outlets.
- Add their music to your playlists.

There's loads more we can do to keep the vibrant underground scene alive, if you want to help, do your bit!! It's not much for the individual but it means a lot for the bands.

Take it easy!

For my English friends, get the Tories out ASAFP and we all know what needs to be done in Scotland...

Exclusive: ‘Standard’ proposal to exempt performers for 90 days was proposed, but ‘the UK said no’

We would like the UK Govt to negotiate a free cultural work permit that gives us visa free travel throughout the 27 EU states for music touring professionals, bands, musicians, artists, TV and sports celebrities that tour the EU to perform shows and events & Carnet exception for touring equipment.
