Soft Play

An explosive duo from Kent, Soft Play (formerly Slaves) are an unmistakably British punk act. They have gained a lot of attention for bringing raw and exciting performances that have a distinct lack of pretentiousness in a British music scene flooded with bands that are leaning more and more towards American-centric influences.

Lower Than Atlantis

"Loaded with robust, riotous anthems... parading their grunge-rock roots" - Clash Magazine Lower Than Atlantis are a four-piece rock/alternative from Watford, Hertfordshire riding on the wave of British rock talent. Formed in 2007, the band soon became regulars on Radio 1, Scuzz and Kerrang! TV. To date they have achieved three UK top 30 albums, with 2017's 'Safe In Sound' reaching no.8. Taking their musical influences from the likes of Jimmy Eat World and Foo Fighters, they also cite their non-musical influences as "f**king up, binge drinking, poverty and wishing you were still 15 years old."

Pulled Apart By Horses

Riotous Leeds four-piece whose punk/metal crossover pays more than a slight homage to the sounds of Seattle. Their speed-fuelled thunderous guitars and high-octane vocals draw comparisons to a crazier Queens Of The Stone Age, an artier At The Drive-In or a shoutier Shellac. With crazy song titles 'I Punched A Lion In The Throat', 'I've Got Guestlist To Rory O'Hara's Suicide' and 'Back To The F**k Yeah', the Leeds noisesmiths have a mischievous sense of humour beneath their screeching hardcore jams.

Dinosaur Pile-Up

Dinosaur Pile-Up are a British alt-rock band led by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Bigland, whose riffy, grunge-inspired sound has earned comparisons to Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Following a handful of smaller releases, they issued a pair of well-received, hard-rocking albums in 2010's Growing Pains and its 2013 follow-up, Nature Nurture. Although Dinosaur Pile-Up's on-stage personnel has fluctuated over the years, the consistency of their studio sound was a result of Bigland playing every instrument on many of their recordings. However, by 2014 they'd settled on a lineup that included ex-Brownies drummer Mike Sheils and Bigland's longtime friend and former Tribes bassist Jim Cratchley, who appeared on later records like their 2019 Parlophone debut Celebrity Mansions.

Young Guns
