Pictures from Rob at Indie Images Photography from Sunday’s Second City Sonic Attack 2 at The Castle & Falcon.

More great shots that really capture the energy and exuberance of the current local scene. I’m always spoilt for choice when picking supports for Japanese acts and it was a pleasure to return the favour and bring them together on one of the best stages in Birmingham.

Want to support grassroots music in Brum but unsure where to start?

Second City Sonic Attack 2 on 30th November is definitely the introduction that you have been looking for!
It's on a Sunday afternoon and finishes by 8pm.

Each local band takes music to the next level whether it be the hypnotic swirling shoegaze of spincycle, the infectious power-pop of Retail Store or the jazzy alt-rock of Slugman.

Sweetpool have been delighting the national festival circuit with their danceable pulsating rock beats.
Our headliners (and local favourites) Modern Literature take the post-punk sound of Joy Division, Magazine and inject an up-to-date social conscience.

Advance tickets only £15 with a 2 for 1 deal for under 25s.
£20 for everyone on the door.
14+ (under 16s with adult)
