The Gulps



Based in London and hailing from all different parts of Europe and the Middle East, The Gulps come together with a shared idealism for our times. Playfully reviving the original roots of rock and roll, they are a new wake up call and speak our truth, with enjoyment and optimism.



Lyrically informed poetry, sharing tales from our cities and experiences. With raw energy, The Gulps are a unique take on classic alternative pop, fuelled by the drive of rock music at its best.



SONS



"Lee & Nick hit you with such sheer velocity and volume you are sure to still be vibrating long after their set has concluded. Combining relentlessly driving drone with catchy punk hooks. Why smack them with a wall of sound when you can cover them with concrete?" " Kerrang!



"The band that are at the centre of a blizzard of hype at the moment, biting riffs, stellar choruses, Sons could make 2018 their own" Clash Magazine.



"The Brighton duo have unleashed this big, snarling slab of punk rock and it's brilliant' 'On The Stereo' Kerrang! Magazine.



"Probably one of the best bands I've seen this year" The Zine



“Every single tune they put out is a total punk banger isn’t it?" Alex Baker, Kerrang! Radio.



“Sounding fantastic!... It’s yet another winner from SONS! A dynamic duo from Brighton!” John Kennedy, Radio X.



"Championed by BBC Introducing" Huw Stephens R1.



“I love angry music and that is expertly done...” Phil Taggart, BBC Radio 1.



"SONS are building a reputation built on some hard words artfully delivered with hard riffs, hard beats and hard work" - The Zine



"It’s kind of noisy, it’s got heavy riffs and I love it!" Georgie Rogers, Virgin Radio.



"Fierce guitars, really dirty and noisy...” Melita Dennett, BBC Introducing South.



“Righteous guitar noise!! The rama-lama riffing is set against a hollering vocal that forces you out of your seat” Clash Music.



"What a year it’s been for Brighton’s garage punktastic soul brothers SONS with a flurry of monster new singles" GigSlutz



Hallan



Born from nothing and forever mutating, Hallan is a group of 4 young locals birthed in the sludge of Portsmouth.



Truth, honesty and humility come together to create Hallan, combined with the experiences of an emerging adult in the complex and poetic world of the now.



Expect spasmodic guitar, catchy hooks and frustrated poetry spat over a punk beat and dirty bass line.



We are Hallan and so are you.



The Ringards



The Ringards are a newly formed band based in Hackney, London.



It's all still very fresh for them, having only been together as the full line up since March of year. In that short time, they've managed to get positive reviews in a number of online music blogs, as well as radio play in multiple countries and the band is starting to fill up bookings for this year.



The alternative four-piece flirt with post punk influences giving the sound a mixture of classic high energy songs, loud and quiet, with big sing-along choruses. Each track is a different journey filled with catchy and memorable lyrics.



Scotts blog (scotts meanswear), review of Night & Day Cafe gig

These guys were pretty special, and after listening to just a couple of minutes of their first song it was clear some big moments are on the horizon. Lead singer (Enzo) has a very distinctive and hypnotic voice of which is a nod to the early Pete Doherty- which was great to witness in such an intimate space. Not only do they sound great but their energy on stage is refreshing and their interaction with the crowd is in an other level. If you get a chance, you need to catch these guys live.



Turn Up The Volume

“London’s hungry, turbulent and outspoken wolves, The Ringards fit perfectly well along current leading outlaw bands, Idles, Shame, Fontaines D.C and Fat White Family. Trust me, ‘Glasgow Television’ is one of the best tracks you’ll hear this year. That good? Without a shadow of a doubt.”



Indie Buddie

“These guys deliver an intoxicating sound that swallows you up and consumes you in the emotion of the track then whacks you back with a vibrant instrumental bashing. It’s an impressive sound from this newly formed band.”.



It’s All Indie

“The latest track from the Alternative band sounds like something plucked right out of an Arctic Monkey b-side collection from the Hamburg era, full of big and bold guitars with solid production and commanding vocals.

A dark edge, enchanting vibes and a lot of confidence from the vocalist just culminates with the track leaving and aftertaste of wanting more from The Ringards.”
