4 Bands / One Amazing Night:

dead the will:

dead the will are a four piece Shoegaze / Grunge band based in Hertfordshire. They take influences from bands like Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, and Superheaven, shown through their unique sound and style of blending dreamy verses with gritty and high gain choruses. If you love high energy sets that blend technical musicality with raw emotion, dead the will is definitely worth seeing!

Make Me a Martyr:

Make Me a Martyr blend raw, thought-provoking songwriting with an instinctive pull across genre. Drawing from the edges of melodic hard rock and punk, their sound feels both familiar and restless echoing the energy of bands like Paramore and Evanescence while carving out something distinctly their own.

DELLA NOVA:

DELLA NOVA are a London-based three-piece rooted in the intersection of progressive heavy rock and metal.  The trio fuse weighty 8-string guitar grooves with vocals that oscillate between melody and grit. 

They are heavy with range – technically fluent, yet built to connect beyond the niche. They seamlessly craft music that blends technical prowess with catchy, hook-led songwriting achieving a balance that has already earned support from BBC Introducing

Formed by songwriter and 8-string guitarist Alex Bowmer, bassist Johann Saul, and drummer Adam Szabo, the band cite Alice in Chains, Tool, Deftones and Meshuggah as influences, embedding the DNA of rock giants with a distinctly fresh edge.

Following their self-titled debut in December 2024 the band returns with new music in 2026, signaling a sharper, heavier, and more assured evolution; tightening their unique identity while widening their reach.

Live activity is ramping up across the year after being crowned winners of the Battle of the Bands in Milton Keynes at the end of 2025. They have secured notable support slots with the likes of Nuns of Tundra, Wrex, Bleeker and Diamond Black. Having built a reputation across London’s grassroots circuit, including venues like The Dev, The Finsbury and The Fighting Cocks, they are now stepping into a wider phase of national visibility.

JAMCH:

jamch is a UK alternative project mixing electronics with post-hardcore. It pulls from the energy of Enter Shikari and IDLES, but keeps things grounded in what’s going on right now — burnout, stretched systems, everyday pressure.
