The Horrors

The Horrors

Bridging the unseen gap between mod, goth and punk music, The Horrors have burst onto the scene, spurting a no-nonsense mix of London rock and theatrical punk. Putting as much effort into their dramatic stage shows as they do their immaculate appearances, The Horrors make camp, catchy music that would do a Tim Burton soundtrack proud.

Mr Scruff

Mr Scruff

Initially inspired by the 2 Tone sound, the now legendary Ninja Tune DJ, Mr Scruff is famed for his awesome hip-hop sound, his epic six-hour sets and his sense of the comic. His sets are a mixture of deck-related wizardry and animated tom-foolery and will leave even the most hardened of anti-dance music critics grinning and boogieing the night away.

Wild Beasts

Wild Beasts

Four piece pop group, Wild Beasts are a mix of many different styles with songs that sound as different from each other as possible, with some almost operatic style vocals. 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.

Electric River

Electric River

Five young lads were forming a band at school in Ashford Kent, in extraordinary circumstances. Whilst searching for a name they read about how David Bowie had gone through a period where he had written lyrics by cutting up words and pulling them out randomly. The band decided to use this method to see if they could create a band name. The first three words which came out were: BECOME ELECTRIC RIVER. So they did! Finely tuning their sound until they have drawn comparisons with the Clash for their visceral rock with a punk / ska twist and stunning live shows both locally and in London's best venues.
