Vendetta Red's PR company do a fantastic job in their flow of information - they are wonderfully prolific in supplying images, biographies and press releases. We'd love to tell you all about this American five-piece, who are tipped as another band to watch out for in 2003, but frankly their biog has left us somewhat confused. What does 'Born in the 805, which has since transformed to the 661. Moved to the 206 prior to this horrific event' mean? - answers on a postcard please.

What we can tell you is that the band's members are: Erik Chapman, Joseph Lee Childres, Justin Cronk, Zachary Davidson and Mike Vermillion. They formed in 1998, signed to Epic Records last year and worked with Jerry Finn in the studio. They've won fans and critical acclaim with a sound described as 'hard edged and dirty'.

Movielife is the other act on this bill. Hailing from New Jersey, they offer stylish, melodic punk.
