To many, Buckcherry are one of those bands who shamelessly indulge themselves in the notion of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. With tracks under their belt including ‘Cocaine’, ‘Porno Star’, ‘Too Drunk’ and ‘All Night Long’, you’d be forgiven for writing them off for being so abrasive in their titling but you would, however, be missing out on a pretty fantastic band by doing so. Whether you can forgive yourself for that is not clear.

Situated in deepest Gloucestershire, 2000 Trees is a small festival with a capacity of around 3500. As a result it is infinitely more charming than the mega festivals that clog up the summer calendar. Its more intimate atmosphere is, of course, greatly aided by the fact that the site appears full of jolly nice people in an environment that is kept surprisingly clean in comparison to most festivals. Even the toilets are reasonably pleasant. The environmentally friendly message of the festival is enhanced by the dedication to booking exclusively British (or at least British based) bands, ostensibly to save air miles but, equally importantly, to put rising UK bands in the spotlight that they deserve. The four stages feature a wealth of British music excellence. The Main Stage has previously been headlined by the likes of Frank Turner and The Subways and features everything from hard rock to indie folk whilst The Cave, a new addition for 2011, sticks to the murky world of Britain’s heavy underground. The Leaf Lounge and The Greenhouse feature a large variety of folky acts in addition to anything else that does not fit on either of the two larger stages. With an almost perfect layout and cosy feel, 2000 Trees is ideal for those who are fed up with the overwhelming size of the UK’s largest festivals.

If you haven't heard of Thrice, I'm not sure I can forgive you. Granted, no album or single has entered the UK top 100, but who listens to the charts anyway? Last year they played on the main stage at Leeds and Reading Festivals (they were immense) and they supported the outstanding Brand New at Wembley Stadium prior to their own UK tour. Oh and did I mention they are awesome? They formed back in 1998, they are well known for their heavily distorted guitars, prominent lead guitars and frequent changes in time signatures.

Cassettes Won’t Listen – aka LA-based solo artist Jason Drake –was recently served with a Cease and Desist order by none other than multi Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey, who objected to Drake’s decision to name his new album after the actor. Apparently, Spacey failed to see the funny side when he discovered that the latest Cassettes Won’t Listen album was to be titled ‘KEVINSPACEY’ and abruptly sought legal action. Drake has since renamed the album to ‘EVINSPACEY’ in order to avoid further consequences.
