This week we've got metal from the USA, Australia and Poland. Bethlehem Casuals bring folk groove from Manchester, there's sea shanty antics from the Southampton Salty Sea Dogs, a top-tier System of the Down tribute, noise punk from Bristol, and brilliant local 60s band The Henrys. If you like Dub, Southampton Dub Club at Sobar is the place to be on Friday. The Commoners sound like they came from up the road, but actually are bringing their blues rock all the way from Canada. There's comedy, ventriloquism, happy hardcore, bassline, DnB.... have a great week!
