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.

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

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.

BRAINFACE

“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.

Mapache
https://www.instagram.com/mapache_uk/
MAPACHE are a three piece band from North London. 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.
