Fearless Vampire Killers

FVK began, as legends do tend to begin, in a small not particularly mind-blowing district of our fair isle. Five whippersnappers of similar age, found each other amidst the inertia of modern living and forged friendships through shared inspirations and aspirations. As the passing of time left them in danger of stagnating, our heroes ventured to the Big Smoke. Life was harsh to begin with, but as with all those of a heroic nature, The Fearless Vampire Killers prevailed, dancing to the Ballet Of The Teeth and telling tales of Grandomina, a world of Wonder, Vice, Love and Lust.

The Demon Parade

Born in to this world almost two years ago, and since living on an astral plane somewhere between
heaven and hell, The Demon Parade have asserted their right to seize the hammer of the gods and
ply their explosive brand of mind bending rock with divine zeal. Showcasing kaleidoscopic anthems
laced with shimmering guitar melodies plucked from the heavens by front man Michael Badger, they
recently added to their wall of guitar sound with the addition of the strychnine sweet melodies of
Jordan Speering. Without further ado, they’re finally releasing their debut EP, God Said It’s Legal.

But then again, none of those other groups have JASON LANCASTER - one of the most talented lyricists of all time - at the helm.
