Former Cell Mates
“If Former Cell Mates were in charge of drive-time radio playlists, life would be that bit sweeter.” Rock Sound. Former Cell Mates answered their calling in the fruitless, barren wasteland that was the music scene of the new millennium. Armed with cheap guitars, premium lager and fatigued by the numerous insipid Indie bedroom dwellers, Punk rock fashionistas and pretenders to the rock and roll throne, Former Cell Mates made it their aim to put the soul back into rock ‘n' roll.
“Raucous punk-rawk … sounds great to the sober ear but to the sozzled brain, it sounds mighty.” NME

Intentions
There are at least three artists using this name: 1. A three-piece post-hardcore band from Sydney, Australia, formed in mid-2008, taking inspiration from Fugazi, Gang Of Four, Ohana, To The North and Steve Reich. They are three people living in Sydney who argue amongst themselves about what genre they are (indie punk?), but who also make music that is angular, unadorned, catchy, contemplative and incisive. Various perspectives on Intentions' music: "a great raw mix of emotional uncertainty, loose math-rock rhythms and a whirlwind of furious energy... brilliant stuff"

The Saints music pioneered the fast tempos and buzzing guitars parallel to more widely-known punk acts like <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/The+Ramones" class="bbcode_artist">The Ramones</a> and <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/The+Sex+Pistols" class="bbcode_artist">The Sex Pistols</a>. In mid-1977 the band moved to the UK, where it became apparent that they and their label had different ideas as to how they should be marketed.
