Alien Chicks
Alien Chicks are a London based post-punk power trio but their music touches on a whole mix of genres including jazz, rap, and math rock. Their songs tell a twisted fairy tale of post-Brexit Britain – a surreal social commentary packed with punchy rhythms, eclectic time signatures and nostalgic harmonies. Their youthful charisma, humour, passion, and sense of fun make for an addictively energetic live show. Alien Chicks have made their mark on the London music scene as ‘the new house band’ at the Windmill Brixton. Since their first gig in October 2021, they have built a loyal grassroots following and reputation as a brilliant live band.

Benefits
Formed as a reaction against nationalism and classism, Benefits are a band from Teeside who are taking the UK by storm with their brutal punk music.

Big Special
Out of Brum and not playing it dumb, Big Special excel in rancourous, rascally and explosive verbals, set to crunching neo punk rhythms via expansive, angular electronica.
