JUST ANNOUNCED   The Speaking Words Tour: Scott Ian Tuesday 11th June Following his highly successful spoken word evening at The Garage, Anthrax's Scott Ian returns to London with his "Speaking Words" tour, and describes it as follows: "I'm calling it 'Speaking Words' because the pretension of saying I am doing a 'Spoken Word' tour is too much to bear. This ain't no poetry reading. It's me talking (swearing) about this insane life I've led over the last 31 years, the people I've met and the shit that's happened. And when I'm done swearing, you can ask me anything you want, the floor is yours. Cheers my friends, see you in June." GIGS ON SOON AT THE GARAGE Futures + Natives Wednesday 12th December Sadly, Futures recently made the hard decision to bring the band to an end. Having played together for over 3 years, they celebrate their career and say goodbye to fans with a special farewell show this December, celebrating the time they've had as a band. It will be their last chance to play the songs they've written over the years and your last chance to see them live, so don't miss out.   Lawnmower Deth + Beholder + The Commander In Chief Saturday 15th December English thrash metal heroes Lawnmower Deth reunited to much fanfare in 2008, and are back on the road again this December, taking in The Garage along the way. The band loved to parody their genre and recorded three-and-a-half albums released on Earache Records during the 1990's. I Divide + Swim Good + 48 Hours + All At Sea Friday 20th December I Divide, winners of Red Bull's Bedroom Jam 2012, are tipped as one of the hottest breakthrough artists this year, with a fast paced, raw energy performance that leaves crowds gasping for air and begging for more. Hailing from the dark depths of Exeter, the quintet have stormed on to the music scene with a hard hitting impact over taking many of today's favourite names.   Another Winter Warmer feat. Citizen Fish + Zounds + 16 Guns + Louise Distras Friday 21st December For a decade Citizen Fish has been touring the world: turning gatherings, benefits, and social gigs into an international never-ending weekend. These four dudes from the UK have created a blend of punk, ska, and straight up rock'n'roll that appeals to fans new and old! COMING UP AT THE GARAGE Aeon + Dyscarnate + Voices + Ageless Oblivion Wednesday 16th January Formed in 1999, pioneering metallers Aeon are live at the Garage.

Gabby Young & Other Animals Saturday 16th March Gabby Young's avant-garde fusion of globally-influenced folk combines Balkan brass, jazz and swing in an aural antiques shop from the future. Her first album topped both Amazon UK's folk and rock download charts with The Guardian naming the band "the act who deserve to be heard." Back with second album "The Band Called Out For More" catch her (on her birthday!) live at the Garage!   October File + Cold In Berlin Saturday 26th January The killing machine that is October File has grown into a primal force to be reckoned with. As their tenth anniversary looms over the horizon, the band are currently working on their fourth studio album. An ambitious concept album entitled, "The Application of Loneliness, Ignorance, Misery, Love and Despair - An Introspective of the Human Condition", set for release in Spring of 2013 and promises to be the most intense and dramatic album of the quartet's career to date. Anberlin Thursday 7th February Floridian five-piece Anberlin take to the stage at The Garage in support of their sixth studio album "Vital" - the follow-up to their top-10 smash "Dark Is the Way, Light is a Place". "Vital" is described as their "heaviest album to date" and brings together everything the band has learned while reinvigorating the music with the spark that initially fuelled them during their early years.   Funeral For A Friend Monday 18th February Welsh hardcore legends Funeral For a Friend unleash their metallic, angular riffs and serene melodies on The Garage at a special intimate gig in February 2013. The band recently announced that new album "Conduit" will be released on 28 January, with the new single "Best Friends and Hospital Beds" scheduled for release in November. Your Demise Saturday 23rd February Acclaimed UK punk/ hardcore crew Your Demise have gone from celebrated underground heroes, to become one of the most talked about breakthrough acts in the UK. Critics unanimously raved about their third album "The Golden Age" and they're back with new album "Sink Your Teeth" doing what they do best: serving up killer set after killer set, live, on stage, in your face.   Bouncing Souls Friday 8th March The Bouncing Souls started out in 1987 with the intention of playing loud fast three-chord party music. Their style of singalong, hard-hitting, and passionate pop-punk caught the ears of many, and for the past 25 years the band have charged through explosive punk rock songs that reflect on almost everything. Back with a new album "Comet" they're live in Birmingham this March! CLUB NIGHTS AT THE GARAGE   Klub Kerrang! Xmas Ball Saturday 15th December Join us for the Kerrang! Klub Xmas Ball!
