Know Buses was formed after Brit Pop band The Visitors disbanded in 2007 after the members decided to move onto personal projects, leaving drummer Andy Norman and guitarist Ben Cooling to search for new band mates. Moving to a new college in September 2008 the guys were introduced to singer Matt Iles and bassist Sam Goldsworthy. With a new line up and a change of name Know Buses were formed. At an average age of 19 the lads have played more gigs in their first year together than most play in five, with this dedication to making their music heard they have created a large following in the local music scene.
Feeding off of the energy of their always hectic crowds Know Buses reward them by giving 100% in entertaining showmanship. Front man Matt conducts the audience with ease and owns each venue with his dominating stage presence, backed up by drummer Andy, who's playing is reminiscent of a young Keith Moon. Ben and Sam tie up the show, keep your eyes peeled for swinging guitars and impromptu crowd surfing, their live shows are something to not be missed.
Know Buses do not shy away from speaking out about issues facing a young Britain, including the growing 'fight night' culture that countless cities face on a Friday and Saturday night. The song ?Couple Of Days? confronts the abundance of reality TV shows that are flooding through and controlling the media. With a nodding homage towards TV legend Bruce Forsyth, these boys have a sharp sense of humour within their song writing. Substance and meaning are all wrapped up neatly in a gritty, dirty guitar rock sound that has such an infectious bounce, Know Buses is the perfect soundtrack to kick start any night out.
With the local scene buzzing about the lads, it was only a short amount of time before the media got a sniff of the Know Buses frenzy. ?Shit the bed, these guys are gonna be HUGE!? a quote from music mogul David Slader, who has hotly tipped the guys to make it all the way to the top. Webzine 'Musicbytes' exclaims ?mind blowing mix of substance and cool? and Venue magazine concurs stating, ?The exhuberance of youth, proper melodies and a fanbase: Know Buses have it all!".
Reaching the top of ?wantsigned.com? playlist, an industry insiders radio station, just proves that they are hot property and with growing interest from local radio and national magazines, it'll only be a matter of time before Know Buses reach the heights of Babyshambles, Glas Vegas, and Razorlight.
Future plans for Know Buses include returning to the studio to write their highly anticipated EP, currently untitled, and constantly writing these guys will have no end of material to work with. Hoping for an early 2010 release followed by a nationwide tour, they have an exciting time a head. Riding on the crest of a buzzing reputation, colossal success is just waiting to grab Know Buses by the scruff of their necks and thrust them into the mainstream mayhem that is the music business.

THE PARADE
Parade is the band formed by Chris Johnson, guitarist for the former Marillion frontman Fish. They have recorded their first album, The Fabric.

At the end of 2008, after 18 months of touring Fish’s 13th Star album and two years prior to that as a songwriting member of Mostly Autumn, Chris found himself back at home with a backlog of songs that would form the basis of The Fabric.

“Some of the songs were originally intended for Mostly Autumn, others started life on tour - at the back of the bus or in various hotel rooms and dressing rooms. I’ve always got a guitar or a laptop or a scrap of paper to catch ideas on,” says Chris.

Faced with the task of recording the album Chris, says, “I wanted these songs to be performed by the best band I could put together. People whose playing excites me and whose energies and ideas could come together to form something new and inventive.”

YOUFO are UK's only UFO/Schenker tribute band. Their live set is based on the infamous 'Strangers in the Night' live album which is often listed by critics and fans as one of the best live rock albums of all time and ranks up with Thin Lizzy's "Live and Dangerous", Kiss's' "Alive" and Deep Purple's "Made in Japan". All the classics are accurately replicated live - from the phenomenal hits 'Only You Can Rock Me', 'Doctor Doctor', 'Lights Out' and 'Rock Bottom' from the 'SITN' right through to 'Selfmade Man',' Venus' and 'Pushed To The Limit' from later albums.
YOUFO pride themselves on capturing the sight, sound and feel of UFO from the guitarist's trademark black and white flying V and the instantly recognizable stance, the faultless and powerful drumming and the hammering bass lines to the understated keyboards and the melodic vocal lines.
The band are very proud to be widely recognized by fans, music critics and venue owners to becoming one of the best UK Hard Rock professional tribute acts.

Quotes from fans and reviews

“...as a long time UFO fan since 78 you guys sound great-definitely do justice to the proud name of UFO.”

“I was expecting a dodgy UFO tribute band but that was pure excellence.”

“... you could tell by the smiles that they genuinely enjoy what they do and judging by the crowd reaction so did they.”

“ ... the set included “Try me” and the vocals of Graham Knight had the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.”

“Good show ... Energetic and tight!!”

And simply.... if you want to hear 'SITN' faithfully recreated come along and listen to YOUFO!
