The band pick up punk/fuck where the Chili Peppers left off. Splicing soul and rhythm into their overtly punk rock set with more passion and furious energy than ever before. The debut EP “Sexy Clowns” is being lauded as one of the most exciting independent releases for a long time and plans for the full length album are well underway. Their first UK dates announced see them set to conquer the country.

This female-fronted four-piece from County Durham are a unique and compelling live experience.

The Vermin’s debut album “Yeahman It’s…” combines the eclectic spread of styles that this self-proclaimed ‘garage band’ dabble in. Their amazing live show is packed full of humour, energy, colour and always full of controversy.
SALLY PEPPER (Brand new Liverpool solo acoustic artist)
