Sylvette are a 5 piece Art Rock band based in Manchester. All hailing from different musical backgrounds, each band member draws from unique influences to give Sylvette an identity completely its own. Think the raw, yearning melodies of Led Zeppelin and Jeff Buckley supported by the bold sounds of Bjork and Aphex Twin, all fused together by the disturbing poetry of Neutral Milk Hotel. Their much anticipated second album ’Stiller than Still’ will be released on 17th July.

atmospheric and ambient sad songs

Emerging newcomers, roves are Ethan Morgan (Vocals/Guitar), Connor Coutts (Guitar), Ellis Morgan (Bass/Vocals) and Matt Jamieson (Drums).

roves formed around the musical partnership of lifelong friends Ethan and Connor, leaving their previous band to make music more consistent with their listening habits - gradually expanding to a four piece with Ethan’s brother Ellis on bass plus Matt on drums. 

roves’ music can be characterised as ‘atmospheric and ambient sad songs’ and in the past year have released 4 singles as well as their debut EP ‘a strung out pilot’. Recent shows have included packed headline BBC Introducing gigs in their hometown and Guildford’s Boileroom as well as support slots for bands such as Valeras, IVORY WAVE and the Tin Pigeons in cities such as London, Cardiff and Oxford. roves have also enjoyed consistent radio play across their local BBC Introducing Berkshire and also featured on BBC Radio 6.

The band name came about while driving, to rove being defined as ‘a journey without a destination’ which resonated to the bands approach to making music as well as roves’ musical style.

Future shows include headline shows at the Purple Turtle for BBC Introducing on 17th April and more yet to be announced.
