Synth-Proggers KYROS play their home city of London as part of the 5 date 'Fear & Love Tour' UK tour to celebrate their similarly named late-2024 EP. Heavier and poppier than ever before! It's bound to be an interplanetary experience! KYROS have cemented themselves as one of the hardest working and most innovative bands in the modern progressive scene. Creating fresh, new and exciting music the band’s sound draws from the eighties pop sensibilities of Depeche Mode and Duran Duran through to the intensity and technicality of modern progressive music such as Haken and Porcupine Tree.

Something or Other : Dragging emo into the modern twenties, somethingorother creates rock that flirts with the progressive for a free drink. With influences from My Chemical Romance to Counterparts, their punchy riffs and casual queerness cuts through the brazen masculinity of the modern metal scene.
Sweetpool create a thrilling, intense melting pot of psychedelic punk, flamenco and space noises - but this isn’t just noise for the sake of noise - they love a proper tune. Think Can, Hawkwind, even The Groundhogs, hurled together with a dose of post punk. Songs like ‘In Winter’ and ‘Back to the Factory’ happily fly off into almost trance like repetition, powered by a pulsating rhythm section alongside the drone of what they call the ‘E pedal’ and augmented by bubbling synths. Then there’s the three-minute angular pop of ‘Here Are the Stones’, ‘Scissors Cut’ and ‘Circular.’ Genres are made to be ignored. Preconceptions are made to be shattered.
