THE SKIVE
The Skive are a three-piece punk/garage racket straight outta Stevenage, which is genuinely the 42nd worst town in the UK. These guys are all about filthy, in-your-face energy and no-bullshit, politically charged chaos. They’ve got a reputation for blowing the roof off every joint they play with blistering speed, reckless anthems, and lyrics that hit harder than a hangover. Their brand of punk? Pure, unfiltered, punch-you-in-the-guts madness. The lineup’s a family affair: Fred on guitar and vocals, his brother Kyle on drums, and their mate Joe on bass. These three aren’t just a band, they’re a fucking force. They’re taking a hard, unflinching look at the UK, screaming their way through the mess the higher ups are making, and demanding we do better. It's all about unity, and they’re dragging you along for the ride whether you’re ready or not.
LEFT VENTRICLE
Left Ventricle are a dynamic alternative rock three piece band from Hertfordshire, also based in Brighton.
Drawing influences from Royal Blood, QOTSA, Jack White and Nirvana, their infectious melodies combined with the unique song writing of Stan Cooper, the guitarist and lead vocals, speaks directly of their generation fusing both melancholy with attack.
Stan’s raw vocals and soaring guitar riffs united with Danny Butler on bass and Rowan Scourfield on drums driving the energy that fuels their live performances of their truly original material.
BLACK CARROT
3 Piece Punk/Pop Punk/Rock group from Hertfordshire. Drawing on Influences from American Bands such as Green Day, Weezer & The Ramones. To UK Bands such as The Wildhearts & The Almighty.
BLACK CARROT delivers upbeat original material. Songs with big infectious choruses, written in such a way that any fat is edited out to deliver instantly. Their sound although thick in it's influences also has its own style. A mix of old school punk rock & the more modern pop punk. Their songs cover a wide range of topics from past experiences, toxic relationships, girls, cars, and never saying never.
