Fresh off their first U.K. tour, releasing their first demo just 6 months ago, Solsara are a breath of fresh air for new music from the West Midlands with their raw, catchy, indie rock sound. Solsara started as an experiment when an opportunity arose to support U.S. band Mothxr as part of their U.K. tour. After an incredible response, they headed to the studio and recorded their first demos including the critically acclaimed ‘Lean into It’. Following an overwhelming response, the band played two back to back, sweaty, sold out shows in their hometown in the West Midlands provoking even greater support. 

Making contact, and the perfect pairing, with producer James Bragg of Middle Farm Studios (Gengahr, We Are The Ocean, Lower Than Atlantis, The Skints etc…) Solsara hit the devon studio on a tropical week in August to record a 5 track E.P. of totally new unheard material, due for release in the Spring of 2017. Solsara plan to follow up the E.P. release with a plethora of multi-media content and intend to tour extensively throughout the year in venues and the festival circuit across the U.K.

Nottingham's Cherry Hex and The Dream Church create a unique cocktail of moody, minimalist indie-pop taking influence from trip-hop, shoegaze and dream-pop. The two-piece combine the use of heavily-engineered bass guitar, brooding vocals and glockenspiel to craft a ambient and haunting atmosphere. 

Despite having only formed a year ago, they have played alongside the likes of BØRNS, Youngr, Let's Eat Grandma, Weaves, OSCAR, and GIRLI and have been featured on BBC Radio 6, Radio X, and BBC Introducing East Midlands.

"Just sensational - totally mesmerising to watch" 
"It's hard to describe the feeling they instil when you're watching them - it is almost an out-of-body experience"
- Dean Jackson, BBC Introducing

"Cherry Hex and the Dream Church [have] suddenly become one of our favourite bands in Nottingham"
