Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster

Progressive metal band based in London. Oozing textural soundscapes then smashing them down with earth-shattering riffs. Influences include Tool, Pelican, Riverside, Oceansize, Porcupine Tree, Explosions In The Sky and The Mars Volta.

Big Joan

A monstrous, gut-wrenching explosion of bass, beats and bent logic, Big Joan are a law unto themselves. Conceived amid the gutrot and psychic degradation of forlorn Southampton, they have emerged from gestation in Bristol as one of the city's most exciting bands. Three Englishmen and a girl from Berlin, Big Joan combine a raw, stripped down punk-rock assault with a rhythmic sensibility that is all their own.

Saltwater Samurai

Saltwater Samurai are a five-piece jazzcore disco-house ensemble hailing from New Cross who take pride in defying convention; blending house beats and dub bass lines, with jazz inflected improvising and glitch.

Georges Kaplan Presents...

Extraordinarily talented, genre-defying, piano and sax duo have honed their impressive classical and jazz skills on the piano and sax to produce a wide collection of re-imaginings of music including Radiohead and Led Zep, complete with ridiculous solos. One you'll never get bored of.

Eschar

Creating rich labyrinthine melodies that all come wrapped up in tight riffs, these boys are as hard hitting as any metal band while still retaining sprawling celestial spaces amongst the heaviness.
