The Red Checks

The RED CHECKS are a Welsh band based in Manchester, known for their raw and abrasive garage rock sound. Their debut single, ‘Matchbox,’ earned BBC Introducing Track of the Week, leading them to become finalists in Glastonbury Festival’s Pilton Stage competition. They have played iconic venues like The Fleece in Bristol and Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff, sharing stages with Delights and Pacifica. The band blends bold, socially conscious conversational lyrics with rugged screaming guitars and catchy songwriting. Whilst their debut EP captured fans with its nostalgic yet energetic sound, they are now crafting a fresh, forward-thinking project to challenge stagnation in indie rock music.

Concrete Forest

Think: Sam Fender, Kings of Leon and Royal Blood birth an indie rock band of geeks and freaks, welcome to the stage Concrete Forest. The boys formed Concrete Forest at the RNCM in 2021, yet despite their diverse musical backgrounds they quickly bonded over their love of indie rock. This bond inspired them to develop their own sonic identity, made up of complex but captivating guitar riffs and anthemic drums blended with introspective, contemplative lyrics. Live, the group take the listener on a journey through experiences of intimacy, angst, and estrangement. With their powerful, energetic performance style, the group capitvates audiences across both their EP but also in any room.

Lost Legs

Imagine a sound somewhere between the crisp pop production of Paramore and the swagger of classic northern guitar music - you’d probably be close to the sound of Lost Legs! A four piece indie band from Manchester born out of an undying hunger and love for writing and playing music. The band is comprised of members Simon Stirzaker (Frontman), Tom Monaghan (Bass) Josh Newsom (Lead Guitar) and Dylan Jupp (Drums). After forming in the autumn of 2023, Lost Legs have made a quick mark on the local Manchester scene. Their renowned energetic live shows and first release of ‘King of Broken Hearts’ has already developed the band a small but loyal base of supporters. Clichès are often used to describe up and coming bands but Lost Legs really are one to keep an eye out for!
