For their first performance in Wiltshire in 5 years, Sheer Music & The Colour of Vinyl are proud to announce the return of NEW MODEL ARMY.

Justin Sullivan, singer, frontman, song writer, protagonist and only consistent member of New Model Army since their inception in 1980, will play an incredibly rare & completely one off, intimate solo show at Swindon’s Victoria on Thursday 16th August as a warm up to his bands performance at Beautiful Days Festival the following evening.

Justin will draw from his back catalogue, perhaps including some of his solo work as well as drawing from his canon including many other side projects along his 37-odd year career, as well as all the classic NMA material.

It’s safe to say this is a spectacularly special show, following in Sheer Music’s strong recent form having already racked up shows for Frank Turner and Ginger Wildheart in Swindon this year.

As such, this show is likely to sell out well in advance! Support for the gig comes in the shape of long standing Sheer & Swindon regular Jake Martin, who gets a killer show, his gigs and performances deserve, and we have no doubt you’ll love him if you’re not already familiar.

Tickets are priced just £15 from WeGotTickets, or direct from venue. In the event there are any left, they will be more expensive on the door.

Doors 8pm
8.45 – 9.15pm – Jake Martin
9.30 – 11pm – Justin Sullivan

Vice Squad are a female fronted UK Punk Rock band that delivers short sharp songs with incisive lyrics spat out over a thunderous rhythm and machine gun Rock ’n’ Roll guitars.

Renowned for their high energy live shows the band deliver their set with passion and humour and have been touring and releasing successful albums since the 1980s.

Their latest album ‘Cardboard Country’ was released on their own Last Rockers label last year. The album is launched on the back of a very successful Pledge campaign raising funds for the Shelter homeless charity in line with the album title.

Vice Squad is fronted by raucous voiced singer/guitarist Beki Bondage who was featured on the front cover of a number of influential music tabloids such as Melody Maker, NME, Sounds, Record Mirror and Smash Hits. The band is 100% DIY and has no record company or management backing. Since reforming Vice Squad in 1997 the band has released several albums with powerful punk songs that are very well received by fans and press. In keeping with the DIY ethic the albums were recorded in the front room of Beki’s South London flat.

The Trio play a mixture of high-octane originals and covers.

”The Red Hot Trio prove the point that Rockabilly need not be retro or purist – it can be fresh and modern too.” – Raucous Records

“Not your usual bowling shirt Rockabilly!” – Roy Williams (Nervous Records).

“A talented band keeping the Rockabilly sound fresh and up-to-date.” – Howard Piperides.

“One of the UK’s most exciting young live rockabilly/rock n roll acts with a brand new incendiary line up” – Annabels Cabaret.

”Perdition is the second album from The Redhot Trio, after establishing themselves with their strong debut Passport To Hell.

With the emphasis on their songwriting, this follow-up as every bit as good as their first album.

The production is clear and the performances are precise – The Red Hot Trio prove the point that Rockabilly need not be retro or purist – it can be fresh and modern too.

These great original songs are both melodic and powerful, making the RedHot Trio both accessible and appealing.” – Raucous Records
