I’m going to try and compile a list of bands that I saw in 2012, I’ll probably miss a few at first but will keep coming back and updating it as I go along and will hopefully end up with a definitive list, once complete I’ll try and go back to it to add links to the bands. If I can remember I’ll say where I saw them, obviously some will be more memorable than others :-) So in no particular order:-

1. The Blisters – “Punk”, saw these loads, won’t miss a gig if possible
2. LoGOz – “Pop Punk”, saw these loads, also won’t miss a gig if possible, help out with gear and sound so catch most.
3. Underline Hero – “Punk”, caught these once but have their tracks on my iPhone, will catch more when possible
4. Ball of Mayhem – “Melodic Metal”, saw 4 or 5 times, won’t miss if I can help it.
5. Dust Town Dogs – “Acoustic Adaptive Up-tempo Multiple Genre Miscellany”, Caught at Mighty Dub Fest and looking forward to them at Bubbles in 2013
