Since they formed, Brighton’s PROJECTOR have stubbornly gone their own way. Bringing angular industrial drum machines to hook laden alt-rock, and lush melody to frenzied post-punk, the band have never hesitated to prioritise sonic breadth and an experimental attitude to pop. It’s this confidence in craft that have lead them to tour Europe with rock giants Cleopatrick while simultaneously haunting the airplay of BBC Radio 6’s left field Steve Lamacq and Amy Lamé shows.

PROJECTOR deal in nuance of expression and the true insanity and grit of modern life, psyche and politics (although they don’t like to talk about lyrics.) With the same attitude to recording, PROJECTOR have kept a firm grip over their creative output by producing and recording themselves for the last few years.

PROJECTOR’s debut album ‘NOW WHEN WE TALK IT’S VIOLENCE’ moves effortlessly between artful derangement, aggression and the pop hooks that have regularly seen the band gatecrash the mainstream rock scene. At times it’s drenched in the dark, industrial brutalism of Joy Division, at others it’s a spectacular of hyperactive, Squid-flavoured rant-pop. The album features climaxes that stagger into acid-soaked country, warped with drum machines and lush harmonies, before leaping into blisteringly paranoid Incesticide-era grunge, topped with melting Lana Del Rey-flavour choruses.

Above all, the band’s tightly wound intensity drives the album with the strange fervour of early Pixies that reflects the energy of their live show. PROJECTOR will celebrate their debut with a UK and EU tour, starting February 2024.

DUNES are:
John Davies – Guitar/Vocals

DUNES were invented in the warmer periods of 2016 by several earth dwellers poorly masquerading as human beings in the city of Newcastle. They play dessert-riff-blues-tinted-disco-tinged-rock, which draws on influences such as Queens of the Stone Age, Torche, Death From Above 1979 and Clutch.
DUNES second EP is due for release 23rd of February 2018 and was recorded during November 2017 at The Sand Castle in Newcastle with Graham Thompson, who has previously worked with Frankie and the Heartstrings, Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaind, Kubicheck and Jinn. They have received airplay on numerous radio stations around the UK and have featured on BBC Introducing Newcastle.

Since the band started playing live in late 2016 racking up a fair number of gigs in their native Newcastle and further afield. During 2017 DUNES shared the stage with many bands, most notably: Red Fang, Mutation, Idles, Monster Magnet, Estrons, Lionize and Holy Fuck.

Geordie rockers Edenthorn have gained an extremely loyal and ever growing fan base since the release of their debut album ‘The Maze’ in 2015 through extensive touring around the UK, solid memorable live performances and a personal and direct connection with their fans. Their upbeat, anthemic, sometimes intense Rock N’ Roll captures the hearts of Rock, Hard Rock, and even Metal fans of all ages. “Live shows are what we love best and what we work so hard on perfecting! If you were to come and see us live expect a raw, honest, never boring, fully live and tight rock show.”   

October 16th 2020 seen North East rockers Edenthorn make a loud return with ‘A Matter of Opinion.’ Completed during lockdown, ‘A Matter Of Opinion’ reveals a bold, clear-cut and notable message from Classic Rock Magazines ‘Track of The Week’ Winners. The energetic single captures Edenthorns signature sound with melodic melodies, infectious choruses, catchy riffs and a solid rhythm section. A couple of months later on the 18th December 2020, the band released ‘1993’ – the punchy, melodic and light-hearted second single from their forthcoming album, which is set for release this year. Most recently on 18th June 2021 the Geordie foursome released their fresh, fierce, honest and punchy single ‘The Noise in My Head’ which was deemed as “The most bad-ass, attitude driven track to come out of Newcastle at the moment.” 

Edenthorn will continue to release a succession of new music throughout 2021; with a new album to follow.

'For fans of Garbage, Sonic Youth and what The Subways want to be but NEVER FUCKING ARE... Can we suggest Edinburgh's Geraldine's Blanket?- Feed The Fish 2012

At 26 years old singer/songwriter Emily, sold her possessions and gave up her life to move across the country in order to pursue a life long dream of creating music.  Her music often embodies her manic, sensitive disposition and has been described as 'a car crash of hideous femininity'.  Layering fuzz ridden guitars and hauntingly fragile vocals, Geraldine's Blanket creates a wormhole of noise, often taking the listener right into an alternative reality of dark pop.
