FRIDAY:
,
Pendulum
,
The drum and bass collective hailing from Perth, Australia have been in heavy rotation on the dance and commercial circuit for the past five years, reaching critical acclaim with their debut album ‘Hold Your Colour’ in 2007. Since then, with a series of headline spots at some of the biggest festivals in the world including Glastonbury and the infamous, Bugged Out under their belt, they make their debut on the Relentless NASS outdoor orbit stage for a storming full live drum n bass set.
,
Late Of The Pier
,
The four piece are no strangers to the likes of NME, MTV2 and Channel 4’s cult show Skins, taking new rave into a second season, ditching the glowsticks and reaching for the synthesizers to create heavy electro inspired indie with nods to everyone from The Cure to The Klaxons.
,
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
,
Hot off the back of a three month NME new music tour, Does It Offend You, Yeah? are already making big noises off the release of their debut album ‘You Have No Idea What Your Getting Yourself Into’ with everyone from Daft Punk to Bloc Party scrambling to remix their tracks.
,
Metronomy
,
Electro maestro Joseph Mount has been creating infectious beats under the name of Metronomy for nearly 10 years now. The band have been hailed by everyone from Mark Ronson to Zane Lowe as the pioneers and saviors of progressive electro. The band is set release their much anticipated second album this year, for now why not check out their debut Pip and Paine and a remix database that’s as long as a piece of string…
,
The Ghost Frequency
,
The London based five-piece are fresh off the NME Brats Tour, a 10 date jaunt around the UK which has seen them blow crowds away with their infectious, post-punk melodies. Fans of Hadouken! and Nine Black Alps will be no strangers to the bands energetic live shows and expectations are already riding high with the imminent release of their debut album.
,
Devils Gun
,
Devils Gun are by all accounts newcomers to the breakbeat and house scene, having only formed in 2006 the band are already making big impressions on industry heavyweights like XFM’s John Kennedy and the Trophy Twins who are predicting huge things for the Londoners.
,
We Smoke Fags
,
The three piece are already causing a stir with the likes of NME and Kerrang! already hailing them as one of the top acts to watch this year. Their unique sound is comparable to everyone from the likes of Blur to ska giants like the Specials.

Saturday:
,
Less Than Jake
,
The ska-punk five-piece veterans have been a household name on the skate and bmx scene for over 15 years spreading their sun-soaked Floridian sound worldwide, filling up stadiums, skateparks and just about every skate movie you can think of. Their headline show at NASS 08 will be their only UK date this summer and acts a welcome return to form after 6 consecutive sell-out shows in London last year.
,
The Subways
,
The infamous rock trio are still riding high off the back of their multi-million selling debut ‘Young For Eternity’ and have had unparallel success both in the UK and stateside, churning out chart toppers including ‘No Goodbye’s’ and ‘Rock n’ Roll Queen’. Headliners in their own right, the band have also gained major kudos over the past three years supporting everyone from the Kings of Leon to Kasabian.
,
Elliot Minor
,
The classically trained duo from Pocklington are no strangers to the live scene having supported everyone from McFly to Simple Plan. The band’s infamous blend of pop and punk has earned them an ironclad fan base as well as their own headline tour kicking off in March. NASS will be one of few festivals the band will be playing this year so be sure to check them out on Saturday’s bill.
,
Beat Union
,
Hailing from the suburbs of Birmingham, Beat Union have been playing under different guises since the tender age of 11. The bands take on vintage punk and pop-hooks have caught wind both sides of the Atlantic where the band will embark upon a mammoth two month stint on the Vans Warped tour. This is no mean feat as they will be one of few UK bands featuring alongside the likes of Reel Big Fish and Gym Class Heroes.
