Rivals 9.45-10.15pm

Jagged rock riffs are raining down from various principalities of The North East. Rivals are raw, intense, passionate and a tight as hell, delivering a concoction of 80s post-hardcore sensibilities and classic rock power through pounding drums, brooding bass and precise riffs.

Goy Boy Mcilroy 9.00-9.30pm

Goy Boy McIlroy are an alt blues band from the Northeast of England. It would be easy to describe their background using the clichéd stereotype of a grey and dreary skyline clogged up with factories and massive chimneys spewing out black clouds of smoke, but Darlington is different to its industrial neighbours. It is a small Quaker market town void of hope and filled with apathy and closed mindedness. It is from that bleak social landscape that they draw their inspiration. They effortlessly blend rock, blues and post-punk influences to create a “Crazy blues wailin’ righteous racket that embraces Beefheart and the Delta in equal measure”

By Toutatis 8.15-8.45pm
