Cloud House

Formed in 2019, the band’s eclectic tastes united Conor, Patrick, Jack, Calum, and Morgan. Conor’s powerful stage presence stems from his remarkable experiences singing on stage with Green Day as a teenager, not once, but twice.

Their music strikes a chord with their audiences, drawing from personal experiences but instantly relatable. Each song in their EP serves as a chapter in their collective story, revealing the triumphs and tribulations that have shaped their journey. Cloud House’s melodies carry the weight of their shared emotions, providing solace and understanding to listeners.

Described as “rising, rousing indie rock” by The Clash and selected as ones to watch in 2022 by The Weekender, the band have supported significant acts such as Big Country, The Luka State and Cassia – closing the summer off with their upcoming “Don’t Wanna Talk” tour around Scotland.

The Horn

On the approach to the release of their debut album, London’s eminent indie-rock quintet The Horn share new single and title-track ‘People Like Us’, produced by Danton Supple (Coldplay). It’s a subtle, meandering and climatic anthem of recognition and solidarity between people who find themselves standing on the outskirts of polarising debates, extreme opinions and the constant need to prove oneself to society’s ever-watchful eyes. Instead, this song “is for the people who need to be recognised and understood for who they are,” as the band’s lead singer Jonny Taylor states.

‘People Like Us’ opens with intricately laced guitars, soft percussion and pensive vocals that introduce the origins of this song’s unique perspective. The listener is intermittently teased by vocal bursts and intensifying percussion as the track progresses, until a trilling drum roll leads you straight into the climatic moment. Impactful drums, expert bass, searing guitars, cinematic keys and expressive vocals all converge on the central refrain, “Don’t you wanna fit in this messed up crazy world, ‘Cos I just wanna feel it before I leave this world.” It’s indicative of the inherent tension of wanting to be accepted by the world, but not wanting to conform for that reason alone.

Rozell

Rising Estonian DJ/Producer Rozell teams up with singer-songwriters JVZEL and Zach Sorgen to deliver his latest single, “Closer” released October 20th via Radikal Records.

“Closer” sees Rozell pushing his pop sensibilities to new heights, as he blends emotive pianos and hard-hitting drums with JVZEL and Zach’s heartfelt vocals. Rozell builds the track’s melodies up to a massive hook, creating a dance pop single that’s both radio-friendly and uniquely fresh. With both featured vocalists being established singer-songwriters in their own right, “Closer” is a true collaborative single, with the track bringing out the best in each of the three artists.

Half Happy

HALF HAPPY release ‘Say This Twice’ following on from the success of their single ‘Boozy’ – named One Track Find by BBC Introducing’s Adam Walton programme and ‘Runaway Girl’ which landed them a place on Spotify’s Hot New Bands. These indie dream weavers have released a fresh take on that relationship song we all want our friend to hear. It’s a pre-break up song and their best single to date.

The band cemented their friendship in university over mutual obsessions with Tame Impala, Foals and Radiohead, and followed bands such as Superfood and Wolf Alice from the start. These 90’s babies mould these influences into something fresh which hooks new fans and loyal local followers alike. HALF HAPPY plays around confidently with fun dream-like vocals that stick to tight indie drums that thump below guitar riffs that walk the line between heavy and heavenly. The four-piece certainly aren’t afraid to follow their musical instincts and seem to eb and flow through the genres whilst maintaining a signature sound. They sold out their debut show and headline slot in Clwb Ifor Bach, have supported post-punk band English Teacher in a sold out London Showcase at Omeara and have played the Settlers Field at Green Man Festival.

Souparnika Nair

Souparnika Nair, affectionately known as ‘Sou’, is a 13-year-old singer from Essex, who made it all the way through to the semi-finals of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent in 2020. Beating hundreds of other contestants, Sou’s incredible depth, maturity, and pitch perfect vocal talent wowed fans and judges, least of all Simon Cowell, who described her as a “gutsy little thing”.

In fact, Sou, who at the time was still only 10, proved so popular, her rendition of The Greatest Showman’s “Never Enough” has received over 100 million views on YouTube … and counting!Since then, she has been busy appearing on ITV’S Christmas Spectacular, CBBC’s Blue Peter Children in Need and BBC radio.

But Sou is not new to performing in front of big audiences – amazingly, she started performing solo concerts when she was just 7! Her exceptional musical abilities then got her recognised by the team at BBC One’s Michael McIntyre’s Big Show making her the youngest star they’ve ever had perform.

But nothing could beat her spellbinding rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables, which received a standing ovation from a full house at the London Palladium!

The Funeral Portrait

“’Sounds From Beyond The Abyss (Volume 1)’ was designed to be a fun departure, something to hold over fans while we finish up the steps towards our full record release,” shares vocalist LEE JENNINGS. “Within the lore of our band; it represents secret tracks, hidden away to be discovered by some unlucky Samaritan. Occult sounds meant to hypnotize the listener with music from an alternate reality. Which is to explain the case of covers & alternate versions of original songs. A ‘what if?’ scenario for our fans and ourselves.”
