It was only two years ago when the line-up of UK festivals were criticised for not representing female musicians in the rock scene. One of the excuses thrown about was ‘Not enough women in bands’. This is frankly BS. Not only has there been, but there still is (more than ever) women in rock bands. Nothing new but here we ...

Return to Cyco City When Canadian dancehall-punks announced their second album ‘Opus Mar’ – one thing that pricked up a lot of people’s ears was the appearance by Skindred front man Benji Webbe.

Triple trouble. As more people are going to more gigs nowadays, it’s a no-brainer to have a double headline tour featuring two of the world’s most exciting rising bands -Devilskin and Sumo Cyco.

We walk into Sub89, Reading to hear Confessions Of A Traitor loud and proud. It’s a very familiar sound as they are playing ‘One Step Closer’ by Linkin Park, however COAT have put their own stamp on it, it’s got a heavier twist.

Candian dancehall-core band Sumo Cyco seem to just appear from nowhere in 2014, after a successful debut album release and support slot with Fozzy and Nonpoint, SEVER and the boys are working on album number two with the help of YOU!

“FOZ-ZY! FOZ-ZY! FOZ-ZY!” The crowd are going wild for Jericho tonight. Tonight’s headline event has been a rumble at the Riverside – but we ain’t talkin’ no smack-down. This is the tag-team of Fozzy and Nonpoint with Sumo Cyco in their corner. One thing Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho doesn’t like to do is: mix his wrestling career with his music. ...

Dancehall-punk fusionists Sumo Cyco grabbed our attention with their debut ‘Welcome To Cyco City’ this year, so it’s only right they get to work on the next album.
