“Measures are a progressive/metal/rock band based in Bedfordshire.
Measures started in 2009 as an instrumental project between school friends. At the time the line-up consisted of Seb Camm (Bass), Joe Hartwell (Guitar), Lucio Adger (Guitar) and Tom Flinders (Drums). The rhythm section were back and forth throughout the two years while the rest of the band were still writing new and much stronger material. Early 2011 the four piece re-formed, this time round feeling like more of a ‘band’ and sounding a lot tighter as a unit. All that was missing at this point was vocals.
Enter Matt Davies. Matt had been in a lot of bands in the local area and was also a good friend of the drummer, this made him the obvious first choice to audition for the part of vocals. Matt joined the band at one of their weekly rehearsals to audition, after just three hours Matt had wrote the lyrics/vocals for two entire songs that he was also able to sing back to the band there and then. The band came to the instant decision that Matt was perfect for the part.
From then on, Measures have continued writing new material, recorded their debut EP and are prepared to gig as much as possible to hopefully build a respectable fan base who will love their music as much as they do.”

Medusa:
“You know that feeling when your aeroplane seat jolts beneath you, rattling the ice in your third beer and you notice the aircrew in collusion that something is very wrong. Upon refocusing, you realise the letters in your alphabet soup spell out meet me in the restroom and you look up to be signalled a confident wink from the minxy air hostess who gave it to you. A few moments later, as she slips through the door joining you inside the bathroom, she slowly and smoothly reaches down her chest withdrawing a hand grenade, then pulls out the pin with her teeth. Now you’re in a fix. Medusa won’t lie to you. If it’s reassurance or validation you’re after, you’re in the wrong place. You’re on yr own. After recording the raucious, 80’s inspired Self Titled debut album in late 2006, a matter of weeks after forming, singer/guitarist Julian Molinero’s band of rock ‘n’ roll lunatics took to the streets for a long stream of live dates across the UK. During this time Julian began piecing together ideas for the lengthier second album Can’t Fucking Win and recording began in late February 2009, with a new refined sound and 360 degree sonic scope, while still maintaining the same vitriolic power and purring melodies. The album was completed in December 2010, compiled and featuring production by Romesh Dodangoda shortly after he had finished recording with Motorhead. Medusa is the new rock ‘n’ roll group the 21st century has been aching for, a voice from within inciting truth and liberation. Its about power, its about passion, its about fXXXing time.”
