Bedhed

Bedhed are Joel – vocals, Jon – drums, Al – bass & bvs and Rob – guitar. Their sound is 90’s British indie (The Smiths,The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain ) meets early 00’s Transatlantic rock (Lemonheads, Kings of Leon). It’s an epic, hook-laden and vulnerable mix. All from London, they are currently gigging their debut album ‘an honest lie’. It’s time to get in bed and discover your new favourite band.

Lighthouse

Lighhouse are a four piece indie rock band from London with a huge sound, strong rhythmical riffs and sing-along indie hooks. Influenced by bands such as Arctic Monkeys, Bombay Bicycle Club and The Libertines. Lighthouse are all individually talented at their instruments and all love putting on exhilarating shows. After playing their first gig as a new band at the 02 Academy Islington2 in september, they hope to have a busy year ahead of themselves giging around london and around the country.

Laid Off

After getting fired from their jobs, five best friends pursued their passion for music. They spent the summer of 2023 at Chale Abbey Studio, where artists like Michael Kiwanuka and Flyte have recorded, crafting a blend of lyrics and ideas with producer Sam Grade. Inspired by Oasis, LCD Soundsystem, and Sticky Fingers, they've created a unique sound that explores themes of youth, connection, and growth. Their music tells stories of wild nights, lost love, and life lessons. LAID OFF is set to release a five-track EP and will headline the Camden Assembly in August for their debut live performance.

Swaamp

Nobody asked for grunge in 2024, but Swaamp are giving it to you anyway. Dreamy hooks, screamy vocals and heavy breakdowns, emerging from a damp railway-arch in West Ham.

Sunday Arches

Four schoolmates from Colchester spent summers thrashing out late teenage masterpieces in parents’ living rooms. School finished, different paths were followed and the band became little more than a memory. Fast forward a decade or so, Ben, Michael, Dom and Sam met up under a railway arch in London armed with new ideas. 5 years, several gigs, EPs and radioplay on BBC 6Music later, guitarist Charlie is welcomed to the band with Michael departing. With a tight yet big sound and using melody as the anchor, the self-exploratory lyrics run while the music meanders between snappy indie hooks and explosive hard rock. Sunday Arches offer a sonic spectrum while keeping one eye on the pop ideals.
