Southampton, GB · 2019–present · active
Gimli, Son of Gloin is a death metal/grindcore band from Southampton, formed in 2019. Named after Tolkien's dwarven warrior, they bring literary irreverence to their grinding death metal from the Hampshire coast.
Bishop Auckland, England, GB · 2005–present · active
Gimp Fist formed in Bishop Auckland, County Durham in 2005 and became one of the most respected modern bands in the British street-punk and Oi! scene. Built around Jonny Robson, Chris Wright, and Mike Robson, the trio writes fast, direct songs with big choruses, working-class themes, and a clear belief in punk as a communal form rather than a fashion pose. Their early releases established a sound rooted in Cock Sparrer, The Business, UK Subs, Rancid, and classic British punk, but the band's identity became its own through consistency and sheer volume of material. Albums such as Your Time Has Come, The Place Where I Belong, Marching On and On, Blood, Unification, Isolation, and Losing Streak are packed with singalong refrains, compact riffs, and lyrics about pride, work, friendship, anti-racism, scene loyalty, and getting through hard times. Gimp Fist's strength is reliability in the best sense: they do not chase trends, but keep sharpening a melodic street-punk formula that sounds built for crowded festival halls and small rooms alike.
