Tonight I was joined in the studio once again by Mark (above left, guitar) Andy (above right, vocals) from 3^rd Rock Revolution. The band – also featuring Lee (guitar), Jamie (bass) and David (drums) – have spent the past year writing and recording new material and intend to spend summer bringing their mix of rock, funk, blues and everything inbetween to the masses. Catch them playing the latest Curveballs gig at Edge in Romford this Sunday (May 9^th), followed by a set on the WOHO stage at SX Festival next Saturday afternoon (May 15^th).

Contact the band at www.myspace.com/3rdrockrevolution and www.reverbnation.com/3rdrockrevolution.

I also chatted to Mike (above left, vocals/guitar) and James (above right, drums) from newcomers June Missing. Based in Preston, the trio (also featuring Nathan on bass) offer you to forget what you think you know about pop-punk and give them a listen. They describe themselves as influenced by “pretty much anything” and, in terms of gigs, are up for pretty much anything too! The band are currently part of the Supajam competition for a place at a European festival – find out more and give them a listen at www.myspace.com/junemissing.
