22 Dropout are a 4 piece Punk rock band from Durham. Their influences include; Refused, The Hives, Green Day, The Offspring, Billy Talent, Led Zeppelin, Trivium, Sum41 and Aqua. We came together with our current line-up in the summer of 2011. We play an energetic and lively programme with huge variance, from 80’s rock to punk to metal, so I guess you’d probably call us alternative rock. We write and play all our own songs, and usually have a full set of originals with maybe one or two covers thrown in for our audiences who haven’t heard our own songs. Our live show is fast paced and exciting, and we’ve been playing in venues across the north-east from the cluny, riverside and the o2 to the three tuns.
They have a very energetic feel to their music and remind me of blink 182 and Sum41 genre.

Ball of Mayhem are a melodic metal five piece from Ashington Northumberland. We’re best know for our blend of traditional metal with catchy uplift melodic chorus with strong vocal harmony.

Chasing Jayne are a 5-piece Post-Hardcore/Punk/Rock/Alternative Metal band from Newcastle. They initially formed in January 2010 and had gigs In and around the North East, playing with Mike Fantastic on their tour in Newcastle and Manchester. After shifting and changing members we have since gone on to play in events such as NExposure! Battle of the bands held by O2 Academy Newcastle, getting through to the final and playing the academy main stage.
We now think we’ve finally found our perfect line up and we are now in full strength to take the music scene by storm!

We’re all about the live show – don’t be surprised if you can see more band members in the pit than on the stage! Over the last year things have really started to pick up for us, with performances at London 02 Arena, Newcastle’s 02 Academy and Journal Tyne Theatre, as well as great reviews from the judges in 2010’s Live And Unsigned competition of which we came in the Grand national final we came 2nd place in the Rock category.
