Only Strangers – Stoke-On-Trent, England, United Kingdom. Melodic Punk, a genre classification that many hate passionately for far less than the more than reasonable reason of personal preference, despite Punk’s early and dare-I-say pop-fulled and melodic charge.

Pembleton – Bristol, England, United Kingdom. The sound of three lads, having fun and playing the music they want to hear. Fair enough.
