I've seen them live three times now and each time was just amazingly inspiring bringing back faith into the underground scene.
PUSSYCAT AND THE DIRTY JOHNSONS
https://www.facebook.com/thedirtyjohnsons
The formidable Pussycat is renowned for prowling the stage whilst the adrenaline fuelled Dirty Johnson boys pound out their infectious blend of Dirty Rock'N'Roll: Punk rock with a psychobilly edge. Like all cats they are hard to pin down and have been described as one of the most incendiary bands in the UK.

I've seen them live on about six occasions and it gets more exiting each time giving you shivers at every performance, one of the best bands live out there.

Can't remember how many times I have seen them live which is always a good sign, someone said about them they are like Motorhead on speed, add a bit of acid and cocaine in the mix plus some driving vocals from Fi who takes you on an accelerated sonic journey which will leave you with enough adrenaline in you for the rest of your life.
THE DOGBONES

The Dogbones are a primal, sneering, garage punk animal chewing on a candy cane bone of pop with enough catchy choruses to choke a pig.

Can't recall how many times I've seen them live either, haven't seen them with their new drummer yet though so it's a must do this year. Their art rock sound is pretty unique and gives a new leaf of life to grunge sounds, refreshing and always a lot of fun live !

I have seen the Priscillas quite a few times and they have a je ne sais quoi which makes me feel like I'm in New York when I hear their tunes. Their melodies will stay in your head for a long time after you've seen them live. They're catchy with attitude. Check them out !

Another favorite in my grungy side... Although last time I saw them in Canterbury they seemed to change direction slightly and give us more punky tunes which suited them just as well. Powerful voice of Kelly will hook you instantly.
THE SMEARS
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-SMEARS/115664515898?ref=br_tf
Unashamedly influenced by the heavyweights of pop, punk and grunge, the Smears have stamped a stiletto heel right through the heart of it, added louder guitars, driving bass lines, pounding drums and venomous vocals.

Another grunge classic mixed with punk and an awful lot of attitude on the mike in between songs, they'll burst your balls and you'll ask for more.
IN EVIL HOUR

Hardcore-inspired. Punk rock and politics. Driven by a disdain for the apathy and ignorance that pervades modern culture.

They are raw and heavy, Alice's voice pierces right through your senses and the musical chemistry within the band is obvious which gives them a tight and powerful sound. A band to be watched this year.

I only saw them twice but I was equally impressed both times. Only the two of them and you wouldn't believe how full their sound is. Her voice just lingers in a trance inviting you to do the same... A very promising project that will go far.

Texas Terri knows how to put on a show, she is a true performer and she'd kick Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler's asses with her massive stage presence and she's got some balls, more than most guys.
Right it's going to be a top 11 cause I had to put Vice Squad in this list, they did a fantastic gig at the Boston Arms on New Year's Eve this year so there you go :
VICE SQUAD
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vice-Squad/25880848182?ref=br_tf
Bondage formed a new version of Vice Squad in 1997, along with former members of The Bombshells, after being persuaded to perform the old material at the Holidays In The Sun festival. The line-up was initially Bondage on vocals, Paul Rooney (guitar), 'Stilton' (bass), and 'Pumpy' (drums). The rhythm section was replaced by Michael Giaquinto (bass) and Tony Piper (drums) in late 1999/early 2000. This new line-up has recorded several albums and they continue to tour Europe and the United States. In 2006, they released the album Defiant, produced by guitarist Rooney.
