Confirmed for our Sunday line-up are Scots Attica Rage, pictured above, who recently signed to Rocksector Records for the release of their 2nd album "Road Dog" which is launched at Hammerfest this current weekend, & bring us their incredible giant-sized riffs & beer-fuelled biker rock.... "Totally blown away on first listen.. with this new album they've excelled themselves" Tom Russell, 96.3 Rock Radio "Big, burly & balls-out.. like the
greatest hits of rock & metal in a bar brawl" Babylon Fire are firm favourites at SOS & will once again feature on Saturday night with a set time just ahead of headliners Fury UK. The Babylon metalheads are currently working on new material for a full debut album release. www.myspace.com/babylonfireuk Velvet Star recently signed to Rocksector Records for the release of their debut official album "In The Face Of Vanity" on 4th April. Early reviews of their glam-come-70s punk n roll have been excellent.. "proof that the UK has a vibrant & relevant music scene" Sinister Angels Realm www.myspace.com/velvetstarband Betraeus played Bloodstock festival last year, having won Manchester's Metal 2 The Masses/Battle For Bloodstock contest with their intricate, sensitive & at times brutal take on prog metal with more than a hint of Opeth. We welcome them to the Saturday line-up at SOS. www.myspace.com/betraeus Skarlett Riot join us on Sunday with a fresh & energetic modern rock sound. Fronted by Chloe Drinkwater, they've been kicking up a storm in support of the likes of The Crave & Heaven's Basement & promise to be an excellent addition to our line-up. www.skarlettriot.co.uk Inferno hail from Anglesey, North Wales & recently released independently their album "Welcome To The Lions Den". Inferno bring a unique brand of uncompromising driving rock to open up our Saturday line-up & also watch out for a brilliant acoustic set on Sunday. www.myspace.com/infernorockband -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Tickets are now on-sale at Ticketline.
