2021 saw the band release and tour their new (and finest) album, Aces & Eights, recorded at Momentum Studios – produced by the incredibly talented Josiah J Manning.  The lead single ‘Damaged Reputation’ has been playlisted by Planet Rock Radio, which has helped establish the Sons as one of the leading new bands on the current rock scene

Sons of liberty are Fred Hale and Andy Muse (Guitars), Mark Thomas (Bass) and Steve Byrne (Drums) with Rob Walker stepping in on the microphone for 2022 live shows and festival dates.

The boys first release was their 2018  debut  EP …Shinola EP…. 5 tracks of homeground hard hitting southern rock’n’roll.  The follow up Aged in Oak was released later that year, stepping things up a notch and featuring the single ‘Damned If You Do’….voted #4 EP of The Year by New Wave Of Classic Rock!

2019 saw the band writing and recording their stunning debut LP Animism – which was released on October 25th on CD and in July 2020 on Vinyl – 11 tracks of pure ‘Awesomism’ including ‘Up Shit Creek’, ‘Rich Man Poor Man. Beggar Man Thief’, ‘Snake Hips Slim’ and the epic showstopper ‘Into The Great Unkown’

In 2020 the band were voted #4 band of the year by the New Wave of Classic Rock community and the band are featured on ‘The Official New Wave Of Classic Rock – Volume 1’ compilation CD, reaching #10 in the official UK Charts.

The Sons are live favourites, performing their blistering live shows regularly at venues and festivals across the UK and in Europe.   They are on many peoples ‘ones to watch’ lists and have been booked for some great festivals and shows such as Giants of Rock, Planet Rockstock, Planet Rock Winter’s End, Rock and Blues Custom Show, Rockin The Bowl, RockForce, SOS, Cambridge Rock Festival, WinterStorm, Cornwall Rocks, Breaking Bands, HRH Festival, HRH NWOCR and Hard Rock Hell CROWS and 2021 saw them reach out to Europe at Bully on Rocks in France, returning for Raismes Fest in 2022.  The band will be special guests to both FM and Grand Slam joining them on their UK tours this year.

Being inducted into the Rock’n’Roll hall of fame in their first year of eligibility, joining just a handful of bands to ever do so – Green Day have forever cemented themselves as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Green Haze regularly play to sell-out crowds at some of the biggest and most established venues & festivals, including The Manchester Academy, BugJam Festival at The Santa Pod Raceway, The O2 Academies & The Rugby 7s Festival in Dubai to name just a few!

GREEN HAZE go to every length to capture the raw power and dynamics of Green Day’s music and bring it to life on stage with full 2+ hour stage show. With both the MUSIC and the LOOK, their energy packed show comes complete with costumes, fun crowd interaction, on-stage antics and all of the trimmings that make a Green Day live show so recognisable to their fans. It is this attention to detail that makes Green Haze the most authentic Green Day tribute band on the circuit today.

All of Green Day’s albums are well represented, covering all of the hits like Basket Case, When I Come Around, American Idiot, Holiday & Wake Me Up When September Ends. Plus an extensive repertoire of fan favourites to satisfy even the most ardent Green Day fans.

GREEN HAZE perform the songs with the same energy and passion that only true fans of the original band can, this is what makes Green Haze literally the next best thing to Green Day themselves.

Awesome as f**k? Check this Green Day tribute band out for yourself!

OASISH

Since forming in 2004, Oasish have taken the tribute world by storm. The attention to detail is incredible and many have hailed them as being better than the real thing!

They have performed at Wembley Stadium, The National Indoor Arena, Manchester Academy and are the only band to perform at the now world famous Glastonbudget Festival EVERY single year its been running.

The band don’t use cheap imitation copies of the real bands instruments or clothes either! The “Noel” actually uses the exact same model of guitar, a Gibson ES355, that the real Noel Gallagher plays.

Amps used are also custom made Hi Watt and vintage Fender amps to recreate that big oasis sound that became their trademark throughout the 90’s.

Oasish have performed on many big stages and at many big events and their clientele ranges from major corporate companies through to private parties for people lucky enough to book the band.

They are also no strangers to the TV screens either, having appeared on The One Show (BBC), The Gadget Show (Channel 5), Inside Out (ITV), GMTV (ITV), Sky News, The Culture Show (BBC) and numerous other broadcasts all across the television network.

They have also worked alongside big names such as Peter Kay, Jools Holland, Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets), Dodgy and even performed with Shaun Ryder of The Happy Mondays!

Oasish also boast that they are the only oasis tribute to use a live string quartet on stage and have done this on several occasions when performing a bigger headline show at some of the many festivals they play throughout the spring/summer months.

Event Details

Rammlied – the UK’s number one Rammstein tribute act – have developed and refined their incredible live show with over ten years of touring across UK and Europe. Incorporating the bold electro-metal sound, unique industrial look and the unrivalled stage production of the original “Neue Deutsche Härte” band, Rammlied are as close as you can get, just on a smaller stage!

With inspiration taken from the real band for everything including costumes, confetti, foam, smoke and of course pyrotechnics(!) the result is an exhilarating experience that old, new and even the most die-hard Rammstein fans will appreciate and love.

 

“As someone who has worked with the real Rammstein, this band are epic!”

– Sara Harding  TV Producer, Classic Rock Awards, Metal Hammer Golden Gods, Kerrang! TV, Scuzz and Headbangers Ball

 

“The guys in Rammlied provide an entertaining show by playing some of the songs you wish you could see Rammstein play. Who doesn’t want to boogie to ‘Mein Land’ or sing along to ‘Rein Raus’? along with favourites such as ‘Links’ and ‘Pussy’… and yes they do have a pussy cannon (a bit on a smaller scale!!!) You can pretend that you have gone back in time before Rammstein became huge and have fun in smaller venues with other Rammstein fans. And you can tell the Rammlied guys love the band, love to perform and are a great UK tribute band. So if you need a Rammstein fix, or you can’t get to see the real thing… go see Rammlied because they would love to see you and honour one of the best bands in the World!”

Rachael Stewart – Admin for Rammstein UK (LIFAD)

 

“When you go to support a tribute band you expect them to be good, these guys are on another level, I have seen the real band live and you guys are exactly the same just on a smaller stage, one of the very best tributes I’ve ever seen…”

– Mac – InxsGB

ABOUT RAMMSTEIN:-
Rammstein are a German industrial metal band from Berlin, formed in 1994.The band consists of members Till Lindemann (lead vocals), Richard Z. Kruspe (lead guitar and backing vocals), Paul H. Landers (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Oliver “Ollie” Riedel (bass guitar), Christoph “Doom” Schneider (drums and electronic percussion) and Christian “Flake” Lorenz (keyboards).

Their songs are usually in German, but they have also performed songs entirely or partially in other languages such as English, Spanish, French and Russian. As of 2009, they have sold over 15 million records worldwide. Rammstein’s entire catalogue is published by Universal Music Group. Since their formation in 1994, Rammstein has had no changes in their band line-up nor have any members left the band.

Rammstein takes their name indirectly from the German town of Ramstein-Miesenbach, the site of the flight show disaster on 28 August 1988. The band’s signature song, “Rammstein”, is a commemoration of the disaster. In a short period before the band became well known, they performed using the name “Rammstein-Flugschau” (literally meaning “Rammstein-Airshow”).

Although the majority of their songs are written in German, Rammstein has had success across the world.

THE SOAP GIRLS
Armed with unforgettable melodies and catchy choruses, The SoapGirls energy, rawness and authenticity live, has earned a formidable reputation.
Performing internationally and continuously since 2015, these fearless French born sisters Millie and Mie, have slayed critics and earned a global dedicated group of followers known as the ‘The SoapSuds’, some of who follow the band across the UK and Europe.
The SoapGirls are society’s rejects and their punk credentials were rubber stamped by scintillating performances at many festivals including the legendary Rebellion Festival and Camden Rocks festival last year and such was the their success that they have inevitably been asked to perform again 2019 whilst on their last tour Sniff My Strap promoting their much anticipated album Elephant in the Room.
The pandemic hit, and while the world stood still in 2020-21, the fearless sisters persevered at the polar opposite, embracing the news of cancelled tours to deliver over 400 live-streamed shows, taking fans on a raucous virtual worldwide tour, from country to country, theme to theme, and with not one set, costume or theme the same [view on YouTube].
Now in 2022, The SoapGirls are back and on their Don’t Give A Damn World Tour performing tracks of the highly anticipated 4th album ‘In My Skin’, to be released June 18th. In addition to playing all over the UK and Europe, this marks the first time they are touring the United States and Japan, performing shows in nine countries!
The SoapGirls write outsider anthems that are androgynous, audacious and straight from the heart. Following the release of their album Societys Rejects, the band have appeared in Classic Rock Magazine, The Mirror and Vive Le Rock, while their last two singles were played on BBC Radio and play listed by Planet Rock Radio as well as various other stations.
