VIOLET CITIES are an original four piece Indie/Pop band from Leicester.

"Leicester will ring with their admirable tunes for a long time to come. Exhilarating." Arts In Leicester Magazine

"The lead singer's dynamic, passionate vocals complement the oozing energy from the rest of the band creating an indie pop sound to die for.. " - Hannah Steward

"I believe we will be hearing a lot more of them on the scene in Leicester and further afield.. " - Oxjam Fest

Dig around their twitter feed and you might come to the conclusion that Violet Cities are the latest in a long line of boy bands. It's certainly true that the looks and talent of these four young men haven't escaped the attention of teenage girls (and boys) keen to find a new poster for their bedroom walls. 

But, this is only half the story. Boy band can be a maligned term and there's nothing manufactured about James, James, Paul and Dan. Quality musicianship, songs about their day jobs in which they graft, clever harmonies and a live show that will appeal to teeny bopper, indie blogger and your granny alike. There's a freshness, friendliness and honesty about their approach that delights all who see them. 

2014 has been a stunning year for Violet Cities during which, through hard work and tenacious talent, they've shown how they can support out-there indie acts such as Ezra Furman whilst not being out of place sharing a festival main stage with Labrinth and UB40 or headlining their local Oxjam event. 2015 is set to be even better.

This is more Beatles than Boyzone. You'd be crazy to miss out on this bandwagon.

Arcadians were formed in the most unlikely circumstances in March 2013 in Burton upon Trent with Jamie Cavanagh (guitars / vox), Ed Petch (guitars / keys) and Dan Alton (drums / percussion) writing and performing original songs.
The band released Catch Your Breath / Dirty Savannah in October 2013 on Trap 6 Records and then independently released the single 'Kids in Showbiz' in 2015.
The band are set to release their debut EP 'Fools On The Road' on 27/03/2016 and the title track 'Yes' from that EP on 18/03/2016. Head over to their Facebook page for more details.

"a creative multi-genre breakfast of champions, combining the best bits from punk, electronica, French house, trance and rock, bringing it together to create a sound that’s going to see Foals cowering in a corner behind Soulwax" – BBC 6 Music

“There’s swagger, there’s verve, the complete package” Absolute Radio

“twanging guitarmongery, full of dumbpunk swagger” – NME

Following critically aclaimed 7 track EP ‘Fashion’, Centrefolds (based in Bath, UK) grabbed the attention of BBC Introducing, NME, BBC 6 Music, Absolute Radio, Fred Perry Subculture, BBC Radio 2 and Hype Machine. With appearances at Glastonbury Festival, support to major national bands throughout the UK and airplay worldwide already in their back pockets there is no doubt Centrefolds have made their mark on the music industry. Inspired by elements they love from the guitar world and the electronic one in equal measures whilst combining massive pop hooks, palpitating beats, raw and angular guitars with hypnotic synths and dreamy textures have enabled Centrefolds the ability to feed your ears with their blend of ‘anglo-Indie-dance-punk-euphoric-neon-pop-rock’
