 Formed in 2006, Oxzide are a 4-piece, female fronted, hard rock powerhouse from the West Midlands who have been stunning audiences across the UK with their powerful sound and stage show. The band, in their time, have gone from strength to strength, playing at reputed venue’s and events such as The Cavern Club Liverpool, The Carling Academy Birmingham, JB’s Dudley, Glastonbudget and The Femme Metal Festival. They put on a show that you wont forget, featuring not only their heavy take on an old rock sound but also an extravaganza of a stage show, filled with special effects, lasers and pyrotechnics. Oxzide was initially formed by band members Stephen 'Stevo’ Holdnall and Dean 'Jarv’ Ellis and soon after joined by vocalist Elizabeth 'Betty’ Hemming and rhythm guitarist Hannah Fieldhouse. The band underwent a series of line-up changes before finally arriving at a 5 piece setting in 2007 with the addition of Robert Jarrott (who most refer to as 'Animal') on drums. The departure of Hannah in 2009 left the band at it's current 4-piece line-up.  In 2008, the band released their dbut album 'Really Not Insane’. An 11 track album containing fan favourite's, 'I Am Rock And Roll’ and 'So Sick Of Love’ that appeared on the band's 2007 E.P. The album received positive reviews across the board and the band were quoted as "musical genius" by the prestigious Midland's magazine 'Ryan's Gig Guide’.  In 2010, Oxzide recorded their second album 'The Devil's Little Sister'. The album contains another 11 original tracks, amongst which are some of their most popular live tracks to date. CONTACTING OXZIDEIn mid 2011, Oxzide were signed to London based publishers Broken Music Publishing, who digitally released the début single 'Out or the Shadows' with b-sides 'The Devil's Little Sister' and 'The Devil's Right Hand Man'.

REVIEWS "Oxzide proved themselves to be a hot, hard rockin' band. The female lead vocalist was astounding and the lead guitarist had some serious chops. Their old-school metal featured great melodies reminiscent of the '80s hair era." -BODOG MUSIC "With an impressive laser light show and some nifty pyrotechnics the MFN faithful are being royally entertained by this young band that are eager to please." "Oxzide’s own material show’s their talent for song writing and front woman Betty possesses a very powerful voice and an enthusiasm which is infectious, this young lady is easy on both the eyes and ears. Led Zeppelin’s whole lotta love provides Stevo with the chance to dazzle us with his lead guitar skills cramming in all sorts of stuff from Queen to Hendrix as well has having a Jack Black school of rock look about him." - GD, MFN BIKERS RALLY, NOTTINGHAM "Don't be afraid, they are really not insane. They are closer to musical genius" - RYAN'S GIG GUIDE "Oxzide play hard rock, and although Beth seems a sweet lass (and I am sure she is), boy has she got a powerful voice. Oxzide rock like the best of them - some cool guitar solos too." - RAVENHEART MUSIC "Exploding onto stage, front woman Betty is like a Tasmanian Devil as she bounces all around the stage, with a voice which is eminently suited to the out-and-out classic rock and roll that this quartet bombard us with. Some great tunes which really get the mid-afternoon crowd going." "Unlike many female-fronted bands of this genre Betty has a phenomenally strong voice and at no point is she ever overshadowed by the rest of the band, nor does she need to resort to screaming to be heard, couple this with her amazing stage presence and you get one of the best female fronts that I’ve seen in a long while." "Lead and backing vocals from Stevo are also well above par, with Rob and Jarv on rhythm driving everything along at full steam." - MIDLANDS ROCKS "In my humble opinion, Stevo is one of the best guitarist I've heard in years and wouldn't be out of place in any international band." "Highly Recommended 10/10" - GLITZINE MAGAZINE  EMAIL: oxzide@live.co.uk steve@accessallbands.com TELEPHONE: Jan - 01384 864073 Beth - 07931 835836 LINKS: www.oxzide.co.uk www.facebook.com/oxzide
