This year's BurySOUND winners JADED TEETH will be at The Hunter Club Bar & Venue in Bury St Edmunds this Saturday, supporting previous winners FLEAS!

This Saturday, 18th May at The Hunter Club in Bury St Edmunds we're utterly thrilled to welcome back JADED TEETH for our FLEASTIVAL ALL-DAYER (curated and headlined by the mighty FLEAS).

Born from the ashes of SubStation, Blue Sunday and The Moochers, JADED TEETH weave together the USPs of their previous bands (searingly emotive lyrics, instantly memorable tunes, staggeringly creative musicianship) to create a spellbindingly brilliant array of alt-country anthems, quite unlike anything else coming out of anywhere right now. Their recent, hugely deserved BurySOUND win underlines the fact they are absolutely not to be missed.

Jaded Teeth will be supporting Fleas alongside CHASING OPHELIA, FOR THE HORNETS, SUNS OF ICARUS, GATOR, THE FIFTH FLAW, NAME LOADING, STUDY OF US, NOT UNTIL FOUR and WARD OF IRON.

All ages are welcome; tickets are £10 via www.wegottickets.com/washingmachineclubnight

As part of their prize package for winning BurySOUND 2024, JADED TEETH will receive a recording session at Ipswich's fantastic Punch Studios!

Nestled just outside the town centre and sharing a building with The Smokehouse, Punch has long been THE go-to studio for local artists wanting to make huge-sounding records on a modest budget, from Gaffa Tape Sandy, SuperGlu and Horse Party to DINGUS KHAN, Slughouse and Substation (who recorded their epic tracks 'Chilli Powder' and 'Daughter' as part of a BurySOUND prize package).

We are hugely grateful to Punch for providing our winners with such an amazing opportunity - thank you to Gareth, Joe, Jake and everyone else at the studio!

Brilliant to see lots of BurySOUND artists from across the years appearing in this list, including this year's winners JADED TEETH (6th April) and Rising Star Award winners HEADCHECK (20th April)!

We love seeing artists heading off to do amazing things after playing BurySOUND. For instance, PET NEEDS played the competition back in 2017 (one of their very first shows). Fast forward to 2024 and they've recently scored a Top 20 album in the UK charts and are enjoying Worldwide success as a hard-touring punk band. Similarly, Gaffa Tape Sandy never competed, but all of the members did in their previous projects (Fortunato and Deaf Ecstasy), and the band played one of their first shows as guest headliners in 2016. Now they're gearing up to headline the Apex as part of a huge tour and festival season as they release their hugely anticipated debut LP.

Is there a moral to all of this? Probably, and it's probably just to keep doing things you love and see where it takes you. Everything we do for positive reasons makes the World a better place, so keep on keeping on.

And PS - we're taking applications from September, so get busy with that new project right now!

Here's what all of the Washing Machine Spring/Summer shows look like if you stare at them with the eyes in your face all at the same time. Come and join us at The Hunter Club and The Apex in Bury St Edmunds for the hottest possible rock action. Destination: DELICIOUSNESS.

The BurySOUND Music Competition 2019

Established in 1998, BurySOUND is one of East Anglia’s best-known and longest-running band competitions, endeavouring to discover, nurture and promote up and coming musical talent. The competition is open to young bands and artists based in and around the West Suffolk area. All genres are welcome. There is no upper age limit, but priority is given to younger entrants. Twenty-five acts will perform over five heats at The Hunter Club in Bury St Edmunds and at Haverhill Arts Centre during February and March 2020. One winner will be chosen from each heat by our judging panel. The Grand Final will be held at The Apex in Bury St Edmunds on Friday 20th March 2020. Our judging panel comprises musicians, promoters, DJs, journalists, producers and other industry professionals who adore live music, and who make a positive contribution to the local scene. Bands are judged on musical ability, entertainment factor, stage presence, lyrical content, originality, professionalism and band togetherness, but more importantly, on the intangible, indefinable awesomeness, passion and raw talent that future biopics are made of. The competition element, however, is secondary to the thrill of discovering other like-minded artists, and playing in front of a music-loving crowd. Whoever wins or loses, everyone will be part of something amazing!
