The name ‘Opus Kink’ flutters on the lips of the kingdom. The six-piece group - comprised of Angus Rogers, Sam Abbo, Fin Abbo, Jed Morgans, Jazz Pope & Jack Banjo Courtney - blend a dizzying array of influences to create a dark and thundering dish hitherto unknown to the unwitting public.
Early support from Radio 6’s Steve Lamacq, the Charlatans’ Tim Burgess, NME Magazine & other champions bolstered the word-of-mouth notoriety of their wild live show & paved the way for an incoming barrage of new releases and appearances.
Hailing from Yorkshire, now South London rooted, DEADLETTER channel the droll fury of The Fall and the lopsided rhythms of LCD Soundsystem into a strain of vehement post-punk, exploring the darker side of existence through a lens of narrative-driven levity. With members being firm friends from birth, there is an instinctive understanding of movement and danceability to their music worth its' weight in gold, whilst never cheapening the nuance and grit of their sound.. With four singles now under their belt, the only way is upwards for DEADLETTER.
Brighton based, Flip Top Head are a seven-piece cluster of orchestral cult rock, merging shoegaze soundscapes with jazz influenced post-punk. Fusing influence from the likes of Black Country, New Road, Cocteau Twins and Tindersticks, their live performance promises fetching melodies and harmony through multiple layers of instruments.
Substation are a post-punk/psychedelic band formed in Bury St Edmunds in 2017. Substation have been gigging regularly ever since, while creating an extensive catalogue of Sonic Youth and Ride inspired songs that have helped to build the band a loyal following throughout East-Anglia. This led to the band winning the NMG Under 18 Artist of the year for 2022.
