If you love that rock sound with an edge similar to Rage Against the Machine and Red Hot Chili Peppers with a pinch of Metallica and appreciate that whole energetic dimension of music, then tonight we got the best gig you can possibly have in all of Reading!

3 x live bands each with a distinct yet related rock sound to entertain you:

OPENING ACT: Red Tape Resistance

This upncoming band were a late addition to this gig! Their sound is fresh and they offer a mix of covers and originals. Their influences include Foo Fighters, Royal Blood, Arctic Monkeys, Lower Than Atlantis with a hint of Metallica (what a line up!) They hale from Bracknell with members Agu on Vocals/Rhythm, Benji on Lead Guitar, Conor on Bass and Harry on Drums. Catch them on Instagram:@redtaperesistance.

•MIDDLE ACT: Voodoo Radio

This father/daughter duo are based in Hammersmith/West London and play 3 minute power pop energetic songs with catchy hooks that will bounce in your head. That sounds great - but the real truth is that this band have played here before and literally blew us all away with perhaps the freshest rock sound the AD has heard in a long while. All AD staff will be here to witness these guys perform yet again...We are being truly honest - they are unbelievable!

•HEADLINING:The Final Clause of Tacitus

What if the music of RATM & RHCP had a baby? Well then - you get our headliners! They are an established local band that have supported 'Crazy Town', ’Millie Manders’, 'Electric 6' and DJ Lethal (Limp Bizkit and House of Pain). They were also invited to play the Skindred after party in November 2016 and also went into Creative Control studios in December 2016 to record their debut EP 'Peace in Chaos' which was released through RAGE PR on 24th February 2017.
