The Getaway
https://www.instagram.com/the_getawayband/
The Getaway is a four-piece mod/punk band from Jersey, now based in Brighton. Their music tackles identity issues faced by young people, blending intense, chaotic energy with catchy bass riffs and punchy guitar rhythms.
Known for their high-energy live shows filled with dancing, jumping, and shouting, The Getaway’s unique sound is influenced by post-punk, ska, and modernist attitudes. They’re firm believers of the hedonist lifestyle and are not afraid to get rowdy.
Enclaves
https://www.instagram.com/enclaveslondon/
Enclaves are a left-wing, grunge/punk trio, hailing from Chichester, UK.
With a deep love for music from the 80's and 90's. They've carefully weaved a delicate balance between the rawness and energy from bands like Dinosaur Jr. and Fugazi, with the care and vulnerability heard in The Cure and Billy Bragg. Resulting in a unique combination of intimacy and abrasion.

MUG SHOT
https://www.instagram.com/mugshot.punk/
3 hard bastards bring the no nonsense working class hard punk, ex war crimes, wolf’s blood, chr
HOT FIENDS
https://www.instagram.com/hotfiendsband/
Hot Fiends, from Brighton & the South Coast, embody sonic chaos with a sound that's like giving a chimp a guitar and a gun and telling it to choose. Hot Fiends' music spans from savage punk onslaughts, like the single "Slaughterhouse 5000", to the post-hardcore manifesto of their new EP "Cult Supreme." Their blend of Jarring transitions, twisted tongue-in-cheek lyrics, and dark, infectious riffs define their sound as they explode onto the hardcore punk scene with riotous shows fueled by their unique, anarchic energy.
TRASH CULTURE
https://www.facebook.com/trashcultureband/
Trash Culture is the perfect soundtrack on a Friday night as you crack your first beer, jump and pogo. Trash Culture is the culture of just about living, working for records, beers, rehearsals and gigs. Trash Culture is getting inspiration out of shitty jobs rising out the shit every weekend to be pissed off during the week.
REAL LIFE GOBLIN
https://www.instagram.com/real.life.goblin.uk
Real Life Goblin crash onto the scene with a groovy, energetic, tongue in cheek Skunk sound. Telling tales with vivid imagery from working class perspective of all things pleasurable and painful, RLG beautifully captures the raw live energy of a rock band.
BRAINFACE
https://www.instagram.com/brainfaceuk/
“70s Rock meets 90s Grunge” is how 3-piece Brighton band Brainface describe their music. Forming in late 2024, Ollie Thrower (vocals and guitar), Ben Goffin (bass) and Callum Garner (drums) came together as experienced musicians to form the band.
They hope to offer a fresh take on the modern rock scene with meaningful lyrics, guitar swagger, funky bass, and thunderous drums.

@londonmapache
MAPACHE are a three piece band from North London featuring Charlie of The Ten O Sevens, Liam of The Gaggers and Cunha of Trash Culture and Virvon Varvon.
Skateboarding and punk rock is their running theme with chaos and carnage trailing behind them..
But this is at no fault of their own. With a video for the track HEAD off of the PEACE TIME EP, Mapache have plenty to look forward to. To describe their sound it can only come down to two things; simple chord progressions tied together with poetic illiteracy.

Hearing Tests were formed in January, 2022. They are Kuba Starzyński (vocals), Ed Harper (drums) Mark Cairns (bass) and Bill Duffy (guitar).

Menace are the best punk band in England today!" enthused Sniffing Glue way back then. Menace were one of the wave of punk bands to explode out of the London scene in the summer of '77. They epitomised everything about that incredible year. they played all the main punk gigs like the Roxy, Hope & Anchor and Vortex, as well as Rock Against Racism festivals, building up a large following.

https://linktr.ee/thestraightjacketsband
The Straitjackets are a three piece garage rock band hailing from the UK's south coast. Their live performances exude intense energy and their loose symphony of fuzz and primal noise on stage will get you moving your feet to these fuzzy freaks.
Kitchen Lover
https://www.instagram.com/kitchenloverband
The decade was the 1950’s; The Chats & Dead Kennedys were in a thriving monogamous relationship and decided it was the right time to birth a child. Said child would then grow up to start the 50’s punk revolution, carving their sound out of raw garage riffs and poppy hooks. Conceived in the kitchen, they thought only right to name their child, Kitchen Lover.

Garageland Brighton - Black Groove, Crowgod, Chub, Wimp
Garageland London brings the party to the seaside with our next instalment of Garageland Brighton at The Pipeline!!
Black Groove
https://www.facebook.com/Blackgroovedoom/
Black Groove are Jake, Jyff, Gareth and Sam. They are the soundtrack to your liquified body being pulled slowly into the tar pits by the doom demons below.
They are a sludgy-doom 4 piece that burn bright with a punk authenticity, this reaches beyond just the standard mesmeric pace of the doom genre. They grab you by the face and violently take you with them. The maniacal and desperate screams pierce through the deep, chest shaking unisoned riffs, the shifts of pace throw you to all out maelstrom. But, there is triumph in this. In the madness. They revel in the filth. And you're dragged into that. Dragged into Black Grooves filthy pit of crisis doom. Put it this way, Black Sabbath would shake your hand, Black Groove would eat it. Piece by piece, and smile while doing it.
Crowgod
https://linktr.ee/crowgod
Crowgod are a Heavy-Doom sludge style band from Brighton whom interject moments of beautiful clarity with controlled chaos at their live shows. Expect chonky riffs and melodic madness
Chub
https://www.facebook.com/chubtheband
CHUB came to be as a means of battling lager-soaked frustration in the aftermath of the 2019 UK general election. Four lifelong friends raging against the machine, with topics ranging from generational discontent and the corruption of the public square, to more light hearted topics like pounding pints and saggy scrotes- their mantra is “you’ve gotta laugh or you’ll cry”. Best described as “metal-infused party punk”, they’ve carved out a niche for themselves somewhere in between The Chats, Noam Chomsky, and a greasy chicken kebab.
