ROE

About ROE is a set of contradictions. There is a softness to her and a great strength, her music has vulnerability but also power, her voice is sweet and pure but her words are direct, and she uses these dichotomies to address challenging subject matter in her songs. Hailing from Derry in Northern Ireland, ROE left college to travel the world playing festivals and to focus on writing songs that felt grounded. Her 2020 EP ‘Things We Don’t Talk About’ saw ROE cross 1 million streams on Spotify and was the culmination of 4 years of relentless writing, releasing and......

Melin Melyn

About Melin Melyn are one of the most exciting acts to emerge from this next golden generation of Cymru artists. Pushing forward on a less traveled bridge between psychedelia, surf , folk and alternative rock. The love child of legends and fellow countrymen Gruff Rhys & Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci (to name a few), their music is also distinctly unique and through their specific and multi-coloured lens.

Mumble Tide

About Mumble Tide are a Bristol duo-come-couple who met through Gumtree, Gina Leonard put in an advert for a bassist to which cartoon-obsessed Ryan Rogers responded to; “The boyfriend part was a bonus”. Together from their bedroom in Bristol, they make music that represents the freedom they feel around each other. As displayed on the recently acclaimed single ‘Sucker’, nothing is too silly, nothing is too corny - Mumble Tide is a judgement free zone. They throw together the 90s guitar-hooks of their childhood, Leonard’s sugar-sweet vo-cals and rainbow road-esque synths all the while Furbs the Furby nods approvingly from......

Legss

About Merging a dynamic bombast of angular guitars, disconcerting monologues and a rhythm section both technical and unruly, London’s Legss create a wholly unique sound; “the perfect level of disorientation and thought-provocation.” (Metal Magazine) In September 2019 Legss emerged with their genre-bending debut EP Writhing Comedy. Comprised of four tracks, the release fused an unfamiliar set of influences into its own coherent, idiosyncratic strand of guitar music, “its stabbing, urgent musicality setting the group apart from their peers” (Clash). Huw Stephens and John Kennedy were quick to support the release, and Legss were duly featured on Huw Stephens’ ‘2020 Ones......
