Strangely Attraktive – a band from the great city of Melbourne, Australia was formed by a bunch of mates playing their favourite songs. Since day one they have been playing at local festivals, charity gigs, and battle of the band comps. S.A. brings a sound that will make you move you feet. They play a huge sound that mixes ska beats with rock riffs and provide it with a heap of energy. Their latest escapades involve winning a 'Last Band Standing' competition which shot them on to the big stage supporting bands such as Spiderbait, 28 Days and Children Collide.

There is more than one artist with this name 1. an Australian, punk, ska punk band formed in 1994 2. A Peruvian all female Nu Metal band formed in 1999 1. Area-7 rose from the ashes of Madness cover band Mad Not Madness. In 1994 three members, Dugald McNaughtan (keyboards), Charles "Chucky T" Thompson (guitar) and Dan Morrison (drums) left the group and began to write their own songs. They formed a band and named it after a lyric from The Specials' Dawning of a New Era.

That soaring melodic tension between guitar and vocal, its bass lines, tinged with longing, and driving yet thoughtful rhythm section make Vertigo one of those rare bands whose offerings of gritty beauty and haunting intensity escape the trap of cliche and affectation. The four-piece band out of Knoxville, Tennessee, marries alt/pop lyricism and well-grounded composition with yearning themes and experimental musicianship, connecting with audiences in electric, deeply personal live performances.
