Will To Rally are fantastically good, they play at the jug of ale a fair bit and really are quite brilliant, quite new to the scene though.

Tian Tian have only played two gigs, the last just after christmas but they blew me away- and the girls were gorgeous :/

Silversuit however make me want to peel my own face off.

Yellobelly are beautiful, I agree.

Ahh yes, Misty's Big Adventure. Somehow I always forget about them, but they are wonderful.

35 seconds are the best unsigned band in Birmingham. Mr nobody, i love from the cd but ive not heard enough compared to LUkeN.

35 seconds should be fucking signed by now its a joke. They aren't! What are you doing labels!
Get the cd from their site and make your own mind up, sorry guys for sounding like some kind of Promoting robot, but its good enough for me to sound like a tit so...

Wow! Velvet Underpants. I didn't think they were still going.. Best Lyrics ever! Ha!

Haven't you left Come to bedlam off your list?

Does anyone know whether super A are still gigging, i saw them in the jug of ale ages ago and they were amazing. they used to be called jameison i believe?

Birmingham techno fucking rips. Surgeon, Regis, etc.

"After talking to someone in the industry they described the birmingham scene as "on its knees" - And that one person speaks for the whole industry do they?

"From what people have said the better bands appear to avoid playing the place" - What 'better' bands? Signed or Unsigned? If you mean signed don't you ever look at the Brum venue's gig lists?! But if you mean unsigned, which bands are these exactly?

"Ive seen a fair few bands play birmingham and the only one worth getting excited about is Chester Road." - What's your user name? Isn't there an Oli in Chester Road?!

"if aurthur gave some different bands a break from time to time instead of the usual circle he chooses to put on." - Promoters have their favourites, why get bitter it's just a fact of life.

"I personally try to stay away from the birmingham scene as much as i can." - Good, keep away!!

"far too bitchy for my liking compared to other scenes in the country!" - How old are you? It's takes a fair few years to really get a feel for a city's 'scene'. And sadly some people never understand or a get a feel for it. How many city's have you lived in then, to be able to make such a sweeping statement?!

It might pay to re-read your message before you send it. At least try and make it make sense and not be full of contradictions!!
