 Baby Godzilla are a "General extreme noise" thrash metal band formed in Nottingham. Baby Godzilla have been around since 2009 and have earned themselves a reputation for their chaotic live shows that never fail to get the crowd violent. Baby Godzilla mix heavy riffs with just pure frantic speed and it is an experience to see live. 

 Matt Reynolds and Johnny Hall both supply the outrageous guitar riffs supported by Paul Shelley on Bass and Tom Marsh not so much on drums but standing, jumping etc. Vocals are mainly delivered by Matt but all band members contribute at times.

 Baby Godzilla have been making music since 2009 but definitely have not matured, which is a good thing, Baby Godzilla are still as violent and destructive as they were on day one. Currently, Baby Godzilla have released two EPs, NPAG in 2010 and Knockout Machine in 2013. Alongside this, they have also released a 7 track mini-album called Oche in 2012. Baby Godzilla released their mini-album through I'm Not From London, a Nottingham based group that promote gigs.

 Baby Godzilla get around and have played headline shows, festivals like this years Reading and Leeds among others and even supported larger acts like Enter Shikari and Limp Bizkit. So far this year, Baby Godzilla have announced dates three solo dates as well as a tour with Feed the Rhino and Night Verses (Watch this space for a live review on that).

 Baby Godzilla can be found in multiple places on the web but here are the important locations you need to know. Facebook is here, Twitter here, their Youtube channel here and their Bandcamp page is also here 

 To round off, Baby Godzilla's videos may look crazy but are not a scratch on the real thing but due to technological shortcomings I can like a live show so here is the video for Powerboat Disaster (Linked here for mobile users)
