THE LINE UP ★ ★ ★
—————————————————————————————————
► Arcadia Bay | Bristol // Ambient / Indie
www.facebook.com/ArcadiaBayMusic
"Arcadia Bay was formed early this year by four guys from Bristol, starting out with two members creating songs in their bedrooms. Their sound consists of articulate and meaningful lyrics on top of memorable riffs, melody's and hooks creating an indie, rock, post-rock and ambient vibe. As a contrast they've been compared to the likes of The Beatles and The Stone Roses. As well as these bands we're inspired by Radiohead, Mogwai, Broken Social Scene and many more! They're currently in the studio recording their up coming EP and starting to gig locally."
► Haze | Bristol // Pop Punk / Indie
www.facebook.com/HazeOfficial1
"Old school (90's style) pop punk from Bristol called Haze."
► James Humphrys | Bristol // Indie Pop
www.facebook.com/JamesHumphrysMusic
"TBA."
► We Merry Kings | Bristol // Indie / Rock
www.facebook.com/WeMerryKings
"If you are willing to dig deep enough, you can find the music that moves you and the songs that steal your heart. But if that's too much effort then you should probably give We Merry Kings a try."
► Youth | Bristol // TBA
www.facebook.com/YouthBandUK
"Imagine Ben Howard with the addition of an overdriven, reverb drenched electric guitar with a band to back that up and you’ll be somewhere close to Bristol’s YOUTH. A healthy blend of intricate beauty and emotive noise."
