📍 The Apothecary Tap, 10–11 Butchers Row, Banbury OX16 5JH, UK
💥 original music showcase!

🎶 Line-up:
THE BATTERY FARM – Thrilling, raw and relentless sounds for a violent world. With a growing fanbase and their latest album Dark Web out now, this band delivers high-energy performances that blend abrasive intensity with calculated musical punch. Expect heavy riffs, pounding rhythms and a live presence that demands attention.

CHERRY FUZZ CLUB – Leeds-based alternative punk four-piece ripping it up on stages across the UK. Not your average club — more like a loose, DIY collective of fuzz-driven energy and indie-spirit rock. Their explosive live sets and punk-tinged attitude have made them favourites at stages like BBC Music Introducing gigs and grassroots festivals.

SINEWS – Post-hardcore, noise-rock creators straight out of Oxford’s vibrant DIY scene. Their sound is both artful and intense, drawing on 80s/90s influences to forge heavy-as-hell music that’s unflinchingly honest. With critically noticed releases and a reputation for potent live shows, Sinews bring raw power and emotional drive to every set.
