Red Light Company

Red Light Company were created by vocalist and guitarist Richard Frenneaux. Following a childhood that saw him move from London to Australia to Aberdeen to New Zealand before finally settling back in the UK as a teenager, Richard developed an intense interest in pop culture. Drawing on the international experiences and his love of David Bowie, The Clash and high fashion, Richard determined to create a band that aspired to grandeur and expressed a belief in high art as a populist force, disillusioned by the prevailing culture of ordinariness he found amongst the popular bands on his return to the country of his birth. 'Red Light Company storm into contention with an Arcade Fire-like blast of intense emotion.' - The Sunday Times. 'Britain's premiere new exponents of elegiac pop-metal.' - The Guardian.

Rolo Tomassi

25 second assaults alternate with 10 minute sick and twisted trilogies, self destruction, carnage, power, and energy. Over the top of it a girl howls and screams her throat to blood and shreds over moving and powerful, yet meaningless lyrics. It's like a shark attack experience, where you'll find your self mentally swimming in the calm melody before you're hurled through a short, sharp blast of speed and aggression, suddenly you can catch your breathe in some sort of oxygen pocket until you're finally ripped up again by the bands variety, unpredictability and ingenious self expression.

Wild Beasts

They dare to be different, not wanting to be pigeon holed or conform to any norms, which is reflected in their unusual choice of musical arrangements, vocal styles and lyrics.
