The Dollymops
formed in Oxford in early 2018. Songwriter Tom Hadfield's lyrics expertly skewer a range of topics from lad culture to the mental health crisis, with the lines delivered over his catchy hooks by the irreverent vocal stylings of Sean Stevens. The gutsy rhythm section was complete later that year when the band recruited Oran Green on bass to mix it with Simon Calver's high energy drums. The boys quickly established themselves as one of the finest bands on the much revered Oxford music scene, bringing an intensity to their live sets which sets them apart from their musical peers. A prolific band, with three well received EPs already under their belt and a further four singles planned for the remainder of 2019. Now signed to FourTwenny Records, and a main stage slot at this year's Truck festival ahead, the future looks bright.

A band 'with something to say and who say it in style' - Dale Kattack, Nightshift Magazine

'They're a band who use lyrics with wit, espouse modesty and charm, are grounded in the real world and use chiming, jangling guitars to winning effect.' Rob Langham, Nightshift Magazine

'Wisecracking lyrics and delivery' Ulysesses Wells, Oxfordshire Music Scene Magazine

'The rapid ascent of The Dollymops continues with a dynamic set of smash 'n' grab indie-rock belly busters.' - Richard Brabin, Future Perfect, Nightshift Magazine

The Barratts
debut EP 'Open Wounds and Windows' made its presence known across the UK Indie Scene upon its independent release in June 2016 to a capacity show at The Northampton Roadmender - with the aid of its months long promotion throughout a National headline tour. Having become an increasingly national band, the fanbase has flourished in pockets throughout, due to what people flatteringly deem charming songwriting and captivating live performances. As they rise, their goal is to become the Flagship of the Indie Scene, Having attracted the attention of Fred Perry Subculture among other revered names in Indie culture. Their main aim for 2020 is to return with the release of our run of singles and play to more audiences than ever before.

Luna Rosa
are a alternative quartet hailing from Northamptonshire.
Raw, energetic and frenzied tones create the enigmatic backdrop for mature anthemic lyrics which are delivered brazenly from the soul. With an intense passion and discord for the norm, audiences are drawn in and tuned to a different wavelength.
