Lightyear
Signed to label: Household Name Records
From: Derby, Derbyshire
Incredible ska-punk seven piece from Derby, who caused many mini riots at dodgy, dimly-lit venues up and down the country until their demise in 2003 to go off travelling the world and to further education, just weeks after releasing their second album.
