Introducing Bristol's Tax The Heat, born from a pure love of straight-ahead rhythm and blues music. With nods to many of their influences, the music they create calls back to a time when rock’n’roll was still new, vibrant and exciting – combining elements of 60's R&B, 70's rock and contemporary song writing, all within a deep-rooted blues ethic.

The band have since found the ears of some of their most well respected contemporaries and gained the interest of legendary producer Chris Goss (Masters of Reality, QOTSA, The Cult, BRMC) who, upon hearing the strength of the band’s self-recorded demos, immediately insisted upon coming to Bath, England at the end of his Masters of Reality tour to produce the E.P alongside engineer Tom Dalgety (Band of Skulls, Royal Blood, The Macabees). The end result; capturing the true feel and honesty of the band’s sound.

With slots at festivals such as Download and Calling (supporting Aerosmith) as well as several UK tours supporting the likes of Black Star Riders (Ex-Thin Lizzy) and The Virginmarys, Tax The Heat look to build on their early beginnings having been invited to join Thunder and Reef for 3 arena shows next year in March 2015.

From the deepest depths of the Swindon music scene surfaces SkyBurnsRed, an eclectic rock band with a orchestral twist. Although guitar and violin would rarely associate under normal circumstances, the haunting tones of the classical instrument become electrified and entangled in the heavy rock foundations creating the bands striking sound. 

In the last year the band have flourished, recording their first official EP, Madness and Reason, at the Vale Studios and regularly featuring on BBC Wiltshire Introducing. The highlight of SkyBurnsRed’s CV is a recent gig at the Indigo2 at London’s o2 arena. This is just one of copious support and headline slots they’ve triumphed across the country and around their local stomping ground of Wiltshire.

The trio met whilst at university in Southampton as fellow singer/songwriters. Inspired by each other’s music they began to collaborate on each other’s songs and make their mark on the local music scene. With Hayley being from London, Olly from Bristol and Rob from Kent, Tenderlore are very keen to bring their music to their hometowns and beyond in attempt to spread the word of their latest musical endeavours.

Currently working on producing their debut album (due for release in the new year), the trio continue to gig regularly around Southampton and beyond. Recent gigs have seen Tenderlore supporting raucous folk rockers Mad Dog McCrea and 60s pop legends The Move. Inspired by the likes of Crosby, Stills and Nash, Simon & Garfunkel, Fleet Foxes and Laura Marling, Tenderlore’s sound is the amalgamation of three individual musical identities blending as one.
