LORD MUCK

What happens when you smash progressive metal and punk into shred guitar and post rock? You get Lord Muck that’s what!! Neil (guitar, vox) and Qu (bass) both cut their teeth on the Beijing punk scene, but they never met until they moved to London. Then they did meet, and lo... Lord Muck was born.

BLUNT KNEES

Bluntknees are a London trio making heavy, piano-driven alternative rock with no guitars. Fronted by South Korean vocalist and keys player Moollonkyen, with British bassist Dani Trip and German drummer Flipso, they turn piano, distorted bass and hard-hitting drums into something raw, melodic and unexpectedly huge. Moving between intimate moments and explosive, cinematic walls of sound, Bluntknees bring an energetic live show shaped by their love of alternative rock, classical music and heavier sounds. Fully independent and proudly DIY, the band have played festivals including Camper Calling and LOOPFEST, with new music arriving in late 2026.

CATLEA

American-born artist from Cincinnati, Ohio, now based in London, CATLEA's music fuses emotional honesty with striking sonic landscapes. Drawing inspiration from acts like PVRIS, Mothica, and Half-Alive, CATLEA crafts a sound that balances vulnerability and strength-exploring themes of betrayal, transformation and healing. Their charismatic presence and enchanting vocals deliver catchy, toe-tapping tunes that has fans cheering for more. Experience a set infused with indie pop, rock, and a splash of R and B for a mesmerising show you won’t soon forget!

PAYOLA

Payola exist to bring feeling back into modern guitar music - songs built on conviction, chemistry and pure live energy. Their mission is simple: revive the spirit of classic British rock’n’roll while pushing it somewhere new, somewhere honest, somewhere loud. No gimmicks, no gloss - just five players chasing the moment when a song connects and everything lifts.

SQUID SHED

MONDAY'S MONSOON

Monday’s Monsoon are a London-based band weaving together dreamy, folky indie-rock with introspective lyricism and soulful songs that explore hope and longing. Drawing influence from artists like Elbow, Fink, John Butler, and Radiohead, the band has carved out a sound that feels both grounded and ethereal. It's music that is built for deep introspection yet filled with roaring moments of triumph that demand to be shared.
