95th Rifles
“The Youthful quadrille known as the Ninety Fifth Rifles have been patrolling the streets of Birmingham in hopes of musical inspiration since there joint birthing in December a year or so gone. The musical search has been, on occasion, interrupted by philandering philanthropists and the odd drunken scoundrel. You may have noticed the moonlit faces of Sam ,Richard ,Lewis and Louis traipsing around the streets of Moseley and Kings Heath. (& HG!)”

From the Silent Riot myspace:
“We are Silent Riot, Silent Riot are four 'Indie Punksters' from Birmingham U.K (the mystical , magical litle town called Rubery!), who started in July '07, and are currently making their name throughout Birmingham and further afield. We love making dancable, upbeat tunes for all the kids to dance to and currently we and are gigging vigorously to win the hearts, ears and dancing bones of you, the cool people and ever increase our fanbase. Our influences come heavily from classic punk bands such as The Ramones as well as more modern sounds like Bloc Party and Editors. As well as writing and playing our own material, we have been known to wow the crowds with our interpretations of unusual covers such as S-Club 7 and B*witched. I say no more...”
