In a desperate attempt to get some warm weather we have headed over to the far sunnier, warmer and beautiful country of Malta to bring you this months Band of the Month - Cable35.
Malta may not be the most traditional of places to produce quality rock bands but don't let that hold you back from checking out this trio, they have been wowing us with their debut album Louder from 2011 and were simply awesome live on their UK tour towards the end of 2012.
The boys are also touring Europe and all over the UK again over the next few months, be sure to check them out - you won't be disappointed.

If you were the prime minister for one day, what would you do:
We would legalize marijuana, free the monkeys and melt the guns!
If you could go back to any time in history, where would you go and why:
We would go to Stonehenge and ask the cavemen for a jam.
