Karn8 have got the show. A filthy pleasure, that charm and blast out raunchy beats with equal measure. Think of the heavy blues of Queens of The Stone Age, slamming headlong into The Dead Weather down a dark alley in Soho, and your getting close.
They have shared stages with high profile acts like The Kings of Leon, Youmeatsix and Attack! Attack! As well as underground bands like Senser, To The Bones and My Passion. With their critically acclaimed new album 'Of All The Strange Things' released on iTunes and Amazon through Wicked Boy Records.
Vocals whisper seductively & holler hellishly over heavy dance floor friendly grooves, top notch"
- Metal Hammer
"The kind of garage blues your mother warned you about - sleazy, filthy, writhing, whiskey-drinking, dope-smoking pure rock fury. Injected with a refreshing Doors-like doziness, which at times touches on the dirtiness of more recent QOTSA."
- Reviews @ Ninehertz
"Many of the songs on this album turn out to be melodic and atmospheric. Of course, Of all The Strange Things is still an in your face album, but it is those more delicate almost theatrical moments that actually stick in your mind."
- Reviews @ Bluesbunny

imightdisco (one word!) are a five piece Electro-Punk outfit from Brighton, with many influences ranging from The Ramones to Justice. IMD have however managed to maintain a very unique and British feel to their music.
Although IMD have only been together a short time they have been down this road before, as most of the members have experience in other projects. With this line up they have taken that experience on the road, continually promoting their soon to be released new single; 'We'll Take Alice to Wonderland.'
As a live act IMD have been doing shows with the likes of Kate Nash, Bombay Bicycle Club and Elle Milano. Not only have IMD shown us how true punk should be done, they've injected their own electro twist into their recorded work. They have also time and time again proved that they have the live show to back up the recordings, proving that they are ones to watch in 2008 and beyond!
"The synthesiser is an interesting tool, and though it was created in the 80s (or at least made famous then) it is by no means consigned to the depths of music history. Imightdisco corrupt this technology to dictate their main sound, while the ‘oomph’ is added by the standard rock band format. The music clashes like the tide against the cliffs, wave after wave of electro punk that stimulates the medulla oblongata into a frenzy of emotion. A vibrating virus that is carried across the airwaves, Imightdisco is not a rhetorical question; it is a matter of fact that is guarded by certainty."

Supurbia play attacking, melodic guitar based songs with great harmonies and the occasional slower delivery. Supurbia songs are frequently described as 'honest' for some reason and we've written about 50 to date. Burgess/Newton/Sawtell are a songwriting team and playing live gives us the feedback we need in order to develop our material besides being a good Laff. 'Alien Bird' reached the Semi finals of the International Songwriting Contest in 2006 and the semis of the UK Songwriting Contest in August 2007 (as did 'Maybe')
