  Wunderhorse

  Wunderhorse have seen their popularity snowball the old fashioned way; winning fans over through visceral live performances and Jacob Slater’s vivid songwriting. 2024 saw ‘the arrival of a band that could become generational’ (Rolling Stone UK) with the release of their sophomore album, Midas. Recorded at Minnesota’s Pachyderm Studio (birthplace of Nirvana’s In Utero & PJ Harvey’s Rid Of Me) with producer Craig Silvey, Midas follows their acclaimed 2022 debut, Cub, and captures the visceral atmosphere of the band’s lauded live performances. Following a year supporting the likes of Fontaines D.C and Sam Fender, 2025 sees the band touring North America ahead of playing their biggest headline shows to date, and their first European headline tour. Wunderhorse are a band who have quickly become one of British guitar music’s most exciting outfits.

  Fat Dog

  Like many a band that has emerged from London’s vibrant music scene, Fat Dog earned their stripes at the venerable Windmill. Formed during the pandemic, the band’s DNA is characterised by a certain degree of social disgust, which is reflected in their gloriously dirty vocals and also in their songwriting. This is marked just as much by distorted rock ’n’ roll and a furious punk quality, as it is by futuristic synths and driving backbeats.

  English Teacher

  Recently signed to Island records, English Teacher came together during their time at Leeds College of Music. Influenced by the city's vibrant music scene and genres like jazz, classical, folk and the post-punk resurgence, they aim to create music that is biting, punkish and melodic, with Lily Fontaine's lyrics blend personal, political, poignant, humorous, and heavy themes. Their debut EP ‘Polyawkward’ earned them a place as runners-up in Glastonbury Rising competition and support slots for bands such as the Yeah Yeah Yeah's and Parquet Courts.

  Basht.

  Basht., hailed by HotPress as "one of the most exciting young rock bands to emerge in eons," have been making waves across Europe with their energetic performances.

  Gurriers

  Described by the Irish Times as “raw as a butcher's cut, and just as fresh”, Gurriers’ raging combination of punk, noise, alt-rock and shoegaze along with singer Dan Hoff’s intense socio-political lyricism, has been championed across specialist radio and press in the UK, Ireland and beyond. Cutting their teeth supporting acts like Enola Gay and Goat Girl, Gurriers have fast established themselves as one of the most furiously exciting bands to come out of Ireland these last few years. The intensely heavy groove of new single 'Des Goblin' erupted into being following a string of critically acclaimed singles the last year, the most recent 'Nausea' dubbed by DIY magazine 'a slice of unforgiving punk' which followed the release of 'Sign Of The Times' and 'Approachable'. The last year has been a riot with a stack of UK and Dutch club shows and a Summer full of festivals across Europe whilst Gurriers have since grown into a mesmerising tour de force on stage. Ahead of their packed shows at The Great Escape in May NME stated “You know something special is afoot when an act continues to sell out shows off the back of only two singles'
