SCUZZ THROWDOWN THE SOUNDS AT THE CRAUFURD ARMS

Scuzz TV has assembled some of the hottest new bands in the UK, whipped them up and put them out on the road for the current UK Throwdown Tour.

It's good news for rock fans in the Keynes too – as the package arrives at The Craufurd Arms this Friday (March 4) night.

Some of them have been in these parts before, mind you, so they'll be returning favourites as much as newbies to investigate.

Crawley-Crowdon trio Press to Meco claim creative inspiration from artists as wide-ranging as Dillinger Escape Plan, ABBA and Michael Jackson.

Think of mathcore heavies doing a moonwalk while singing about Money, Money, Money though, and you won't hit the nail on the head...a little bite more cohesive and classy, this lot are.

Diffusion of Responsibility, the second single from their debut album Good Intent, is out now.

Yorkshire mob AllUsOnDrugs (top) have also made the billing with their psych-pop-showgaze-grunge.

The band got hooked up with this package having played alongside Enter Shikari, Pulled Apart By Horses and Lonely the Brave, and in the not too distant past supported We Are the Ocean.

Completing the line-up, Midlands-based quartet Max Raptor (above)– fusing a rock n roll slant with a partisan punk attitude – will play for you.

Lots of sounds for your pounds on offer here, and tickets are £7 in advance.
