Modem are a promising new act… keys, plaintive guitars, whispering vocals, the odd wash of synth colour and samples (dialogue) - somewhere between Sea Power and China Crisis

ULTRARABBIT - contrasting music but just as cool. From the ashes of Flesh Tetris Eva and Andy are the electro bunnies with extra Duracell capabilities. Banging.

Volterra - alternative-rock / cinematic indie duo based between Hawaiʻi and Italy, whose debut album came out this Summer. The music blends melodic alternative rock, chamber pop and atmospheric elements, with environmental and social themes inspired by Solarpunk! Groovy.

MoKat, a band formed in Guilford with a blend of melodic and high energy tracks, gaining momentum through some of the UK’s major venues and festivals. Following BBC Introducing, they are set to release their debut EP in 2026.
