Splendid news, pop kids – fierce panda records are heading back to The Alternative Escape in Brighton City this year to showcase some of their freshest, fruitiest favourite new bands between 2.00pm and 5.05pm on Friday May 18th. AUGUST CHILD + THE CARESS + 485C + THE TALK SHOW + GOOD GUY CLARENCE are the furious five chosen this year.

But that of course is just part of the story: much like last year’s sensationally rowdy mid-afternoon hoedown in the very same venue we are once again promoting guests of the End Of The Trail organisation who provide the mighty bulk of the entertainment which lasts for over 12 hectic hours in the company of Amazing Radio, and that mighty entertainment looks very much like this…
