Brooders
Combining chaotic heavy riffs with a swirling psychedelic edge, the psych-grunge three piece Brooders, are an experience you wont soon forget. Having found their feet the traditional way, Brooders have gigged and toured the UK relentlessly for the last two years testing the waters with an endless stream of musical exploration and rigorous song craft.
To date Brooders have covered the lands with their loud melodic barrage of psych. Having played the likes of Sound City, Y Not, Dot To Dot, Tramlines, Humber Street Sesh and countless more live shows up and down the country. During this time Brooders have released a six track mini album and then five additional singles over their time as a band.
In the last year alone, Brooders have also been championed by the likes of BBC Introducing Yorkshire/Sheffield, Amazing Radio, Sine FM and YO Radio on their conquest to deliver their sonic whiplash far and wide.

Merricks Tusk
Highly-rated post-hardcore quartet, Merrick's Tusk, draw from an impressive encyclopaedic knowledge of the back catalogues of Rival Schools, Thursday, and At The Drive In, as well as the modern guile of Coheed And Cambria and the Deftones.
The band have wooed audiences in the UK and mainland Europe, sharing stages with everyone from Fangclub, Vasudeva, Tellison and Beach Slang, as well as playing alongside Jonah Matranga at the end of 2018 to tour the 20 year anniversary of Far’s seminal album, Water & Solutions.
The emerging Nottingham crew will release their eagerly awaited debut album, Between The Earth And The Trees, on Friday 3rd May via Undead Collective Records.

Bloodhound
Bloodhound are a three-piece grunge-rock band from Hull taking influence from the likes of modern rock and classic grunge bands like Drenge, Queens of The Stone Age, Royal Blood and Alice In Chains. Bloodhound’s new single, ‘FRSTRTD’, is a collaboration between themselves and Leeds based psych-grunge trio Brooders, who feature on the track as well having produced, mixed and mastered the project. Their sound delivers monstrous riffs and mammoth choruses alongside psychedelic noise that twists their songs into fast-paced utopia.
