About Me

The Perils
The Perils are one of the hottest up and coming acts in the south. Based in Brighton, they have taken the scene by storm with their electrifying live shows and unique brand of hook-laden, dirty Rock + Roll.
Having sold out prestigious venues such as the Komedia and Brighton Coalition and shared a stage with the likes of The Buzzcocks, Carbon Silicon (featuring Mick Jones of The Clash), The Thirst, Cage the Elephant, The Displacements, Frank Turner and inheritors to the legacy of Babyshambles, The Krak, the future for the Perils is looking bright.
With recent storming sets at the Official Glastonbury Leftfield Warm-Up party, Beachdown Festival, Brighton Live and Rough Trade Breakthrough, not to mention making history by becoming the first ever unsigned band to feature at Rock Against Racism, plus upcoming shows for Club NME and a UK tour scheduled for February, The Perils are set to make it big in 08/09.
You can catch The Perils live at Hectors House on Oct 30th.
