The Darkness
The Darkness exploded into the public consciousness for both their unique brand of glammed-up rock and outrageous stage costumes when their debut album 'Permission To Land' shot to number one, spawning new rock anthems including 'Love Is Only A Feeling', 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' and 'Growing On Me'. It was also the fastest selling debut album by a British band in America since The Spice Girls. They also achieved the rare feat of releasing a modern Christmas single that continues to be played on radio every December. They have gone through a few line-up changes over the years, but they continue to rock, as ever with the flamboyant Justin Hawkins at the helm.

Ash
Northern Ireland's favourite sons who hit the big time with their massive debut album '1977'. As part of the mid-nineties Britpop phenomenon, Ash always stood out as the rebels of the genre, making grungy post-rock and anthemic indie, which, to this day, has gained them rave reviews and a strong and loyal following.

Bad Nerves
Bad Nerves are 4-piece band from East London, formed in damp garage with only one goal in mind; to play as fast as they can, and jump from hook to hook. The result was their own brand of ferociously fast power-pop-meets-garage-punk. The two demos they uploaded in 2016 have gained them New Name & Future Firsts plays on Radio One via Annie Mac and Phil Taggart. Whilst they also gained fans in Huw Stephens and more recently, Dan P Carter and Mistajam. Gary Crowley at BBC Introducing described their sound as "200 miles-an-hour Supergrass" and made them featured artist on the BBC Introducing London show. Now withan official single release on the way along with appearances at Phil Taggart's SLACKER club night & Live at Leeds Festival, Bad Nerves look set to explode!
