_{Skarlett Riot may be a band that will find its biggest following among the younger generation of rock fans, but their new EP “We Are The Brave” has made a fan out of a (young at heart) rocker in his mid 40s! The band formed back in 2010 and already have a successful debut album and impressive list of live appearances under their belt.

_{Bigfoot is a band featuring five guys from the Wigan area of North West England. They’ve recently released a four track EP centred around the single “The Other Side of Paradise”. We’d been sent the EP by the band’s PR team and I played the single on the Friday NI Rocks Show last week. Definitely a release worth investigating!}
