BRICKS a DIY three piece band based in East London.

Formed following Worgie's (warrenpeace/scroobius pip/speech development records/Sage Francis/Strange Famous Records) break from touring and a need to explore recording music inspired by post-hardcore and punk bands such as At The Drive-In/Refused/Gallows/Drive Like Jehu, he enlisted the help of co-producer Lee Hughes to play drums and Teo Antim on Bass, to co-write and record their self-produced debut record 'Between an Apology and an Observation'. The record was produced and released as a DIY project, via the bands label BAO Records, it is available via all major download sites.

The band are due to be releasing a further EP in September with more shows and festivals to come.



Temple Lake - www.facebook.com/templelakeofficial

Temple Lake emerged from the canals of Camden on a cold January night in 2016. Since then, the band has played numerous venues in and around London, where they bring their influences from bands such as early Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and a nostalgic feeling to classic Pearl Jam.

Having been described as riff-heavy, charismatic and hard to forget, with a traditional four piece set up, Temple Lake's roots stretch out far beyond the streets of Camden. With the initial members founded in the forests of Scandinavia, their arrival onto the London music scene has brought lyrical magic and soul; which when added to a collective of 40 years live experience, a fantastically dynamic English Bassist, the quartet are uncompromising and have mystical audience command.

Temple Lake released their first EP earlier this year, available to stream or download on Spotify/iTunes now.
