Reading Festival 2009 BBC Introducing Stage Line up

To The Bones

Bolton four-piece To The Bones play a feral mix of riffs and melody; imagine the Pixies tackling Motorhead and Bleach era Nirvana, and you're along the right lines.

The Teeth

Girls Aloud covers, Bonde De Role remixes, Mexican Wrestling masks and a whole lotta pedals - it can only be the Teeth. Sexy beats, thundering bass and enough loops to make a slinky.

Chickenhawk

Chickenhawk is a raging schizophrenic multi-personality. Insanely original and musically adept the four members have fashioned a UK sound that stands up to the heavy avant guard of Naked City and Mr. Bungle whilst also having the riffs and head-banging nature of Melvins and Harvey Milk.
