I’d been given the chance to chat to the legend that is Glen Matlock who’s musical CV is as long as your arm. Amongst his numerous achievements is the co-authoring of 10 of the 12 tracks on ‘Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols’ which is quite possibly THE most seminal punk rock album in the world ever. He also created some amazing music with bands such as Rich Kids, London Cowboys and later on The International Swingers.

“A lush blend of heavy riffs and detailed melodies make for an interesting live show, Dead Ground are an act to keep an eye on” - musomuso.com

I was expecting big things, but that was better than I could’ve imagined… stunning live tracks, just brilliant, watch out for them – James Santer, BBC Introducing

I received an email from a lady called Vicky who I couldn't help thinking I knew...... It wasn't until she mentioned a band called THE RAMONAS until it all clicked into place (she plays in the band). She told me of a new band called COCKWOMBLE that she was in and that they had just launched a new EP 'Henchmen', we took a listen and fell in love with it straight away and decided it would be a great time to have a chat and learn a little more about this upbeat trio of talent from Brighton, here's how we got on.

We first saw Kitty, Daisy & Lewis when they played in Exeter a couple of years ago, we instantly fell in love with their music and their live show is a sight to behold.

We chatted to the whole band and discussed their love of festivals, how they are received all over the world and the most important thing, how to get rid of that hangover the morning after the night before, here's how we got on....
