Yer...but...no...but...yer... but do I look bovvered about Goldie Lookin Chain?

For those who feel the whole comedy chav scene has been overcooked a tad, then yourcodenameis:milo offer a slightly more challenging introduction to the festival. Sadly, the PA in the Radio 1 tent is offering the band a similarly challenging experience, with amps spluttering to a halt before the band can even get going.

When they get started, its impressive enough huge prog stomps such as singles Rapt Dept and All Roads To Fault are enough to blast away the early morning cobwebs, with the addition of a new supervixen vocalist giving the songs an effective unnerving edge. Where the dodgy sound threatened to win the day, yourcodenameis:milo ensure it remains a score draw.
