Supporting Local Arts and Performance
"Phon, kings of screaming rock in Worcester. When this trio performs live, you can expect the volume, and the heat to rise, and T-shirts on stage inevitably end up coming off. As always they did not disappoint, treating us to familar tracks and new. Opening with Broken Bong, the lads then threw in personal favourite Fade, that showcases singer Ollies extreme vocal range, from softer verses, to screaming parts of the chorus. The bands most well known track, Julia Roberts made an appearance on the set list, with the intoxicating opening riff setting this heavy track up nicely. As Ollie melodically screams, Jack backwards steps off stage completely lost in the moment, and Rich on drums concentrating on hitting every note with perfection, it’s clear to see why these boys have a strong local following"

PHON
"Another local band were celebrating the release of their debut EP ‘Cat Zen Jamma’ by playing their first festival. The guys from Worcester say that they draw influence from the hypnotic riffage of stoner rock, but gave us constant whirling energy, overdriven guitar and big drum and driving bass notes to create an uncompromising grungy wall of sound. They powered through original noise soaked material plus an excellent version of Cream’s ‘Sunshine of your Love’. Maybe not what you’d expect from a trio whose vocalist was wearing a colourful knee length frock! Ollie told us he hoped its airiness would help in the heat, not sure it did but he certainly looked pretty cool"
