THE GLASS KEY:

The Glass Key is an instrumental duo based in London. It comprises Andrea Giommi and Nicola Lombardi. Prior to finding a name for the project, Nicola and Andrea had been jamming in London for a few years, combining heavy electronic rhythms with layers of guitars and synth riffs. The result was devilish instrumental music that reflected the different approaches and personalities of the two musicians. The band now performs live as a duo or as a trio with the inclusion of the incredible Frank Byng on drums (Snorkel, This is not this heat, owner of Slowfoot Records).

HIGH PIT:

High Pit was born in London early in 2019 from a collaboration between Amedeo Scofone (Eat the Rabbit and Do Nascimiento) and Simne Donadni (Rainbow Island,Trans Upper Egypt).

Their music is a mixture of electronic, psychedelia and repetition of slow somehow melodic patterns. Most of their music is played live with no sampling involved, a blend of digital and analogic machines allows them to play their live set that everytime in a different way.

BIR TAWIL:

Bir Tawil is a mediterranean electronic dirty desert blues duo from Sicilian multi-instrumentalists Carlo Natoli (based in London) and Dario De Filippo (based in France). Their music makes tenor guitars and distorted mandolas, modular live electronics, African and south Mediterranean percussions, filtered voices and found samples coexist in an unique narrative dimension, about new and old diasporas, making meanwhil “Thom Yorke and Rosa Balistreri dance in the desert dunes” (Sicilian Post). Their Debut album is “In Between” (FishBorn / IDDM 2022).

Blue Statue

This London based group whose contemporary take on a guitar-driven post-punk sound equally inspired by early '90s grunge is energised by ferocious melodies and an impulsive charge rarely found right now.

Blue Statue has been featured on BBC Radio 6 Steve Lamacq’s show and has worked with producer Joe Foster (My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Primal scream.)

James Brute

The intoxicating mix of acid blues, doom-wop and rock n’roll which infuses James Brute’s new EP Lost Soul Music may have its roots in that of his former band The Brute Chorus, but it belies a deeper, more reflective tone from this mature and confident songwriter.

Supported by John Kennedy at Radio X and described by the NME as sounding “like Tom Waits trapped in a sex dungeon”.

“A must see for anyone with a hankering for bleak-abilly blues.” – NME

“Phenomenal.” – Danielle Perry, Absolute Radio

snake eyes’ distinguishable sound is supercharged, having already mastered the fiery choruses, grungy riffs and catchy hollering britpop sensibilities. Aptly coined by the band as ‘grit pop’. Alongside mostly upbeat music, heffy’s lyrics hold the meaning of being kind and the freedom to express yourself no matter who you are. the visuals created by the band’s own Thomas Coe-Brooker, accompany the music with a story - always pleasing aesthetically with their scrappy, colourful, nostalgic style - think Wolf Alice, Nirvana, Blur and Pixies. snake eyes has noticeably ramped up their skill as a band in a very short space of time since launching in 2020, with the maturity of the songwriting and performance evident. Jim, Nicole and Brooker came out of lockdown hungry to slog away at as many live shows as they could - so far including a Music Venue Trust and National Lottery Revive Live co-headline tour with James and the Cold Gun. Plus, a host of support runs for Gender Roles, Delta Sleep, Sick Joy, Bad Nerves and UK album chart toppers Don Broco - on top of this selling out their headline record release show in Brighton in November 2021. snake eyes’ main goal is to forge a bond with like-minded people that find comfort and joy in their songs. We have only just scratched the surface with what the Brighton trio are capable of and they are looking to grow their reputation as a phenomenal live act to match the energy of their records and spread the word of grit pop everywhere.
