Sound of Sirens: https://www.facebook.com/soundofsirensuk

"the atmosphere throughout their set is something pretty special- their
performance is laden with hooks and singalongs and it is impossible not to
feel involved." - Leeds Music Scene

"they electrified the crowd with a storming set. with the 500 capacity room
now almost full, Sound of Sirens were a joy to watch, each member giving
everything that they had as they entertained the crowd".
Benny B - Safeconcerts

"they held their own with a commanding presence, front-man Rob Doherty
demanding hands in the air from the start. His stamina proved nothing short
of remarkable as he leapt about the stage flexing and dancing like a Stooges
era Iggy Pop." Reece Stables - LeedsMusic Scene

have spent the last two years building up a reputation as a stellar live
band. they deliver an exciting blend of indie, rock and electro which has
proved popular with their fast growing fanbase. They've performed all over
the U.K, and had significant radio play. Having completed their UK tour they
took an extended break to work on new material and to bring in a new member,
Ryan on synth. With the new lineup came a new sound, the band moving away
from its indie roots to a more electro rock. with a brand new set of
material written and ready to gig, they're looking to hit the ground running
and capitalize on their growig popularity.

Apollo's Basement: https://www.facebook.com/apollosbasement

"it's a very confident and entertaining show. You don't have to look hard
for the appeal"
Tim Hearson - Leeds Music Scene

"A set of catchy songs ensued, featuring memorable hooks that I can recall
with perfect clarity long after the performance, such as the vocal melody
crammed with melodic activity in the chorus of 'Ginger' and the danceable,
off-beat rhythms of 'Magic Maker'.

"Singer Sam Orbaum delivered consistently strong vocals and, when the
guitars adopted sparser parts on songs such as 'Cheeky Dream' and his lyrics
could be heard, a sense of humour was revealed in his writing. The line
about a girl giving him "a list of guys [she]'d rather screw" resonated for
very personal reasons, but that topic is a little too tight right now, I'll
get deeper into that later. I also enjoyed the following quip from
'Navigation': "Navigation must be really tricky with your head stuck way up
there"."
Charles Eager - leeds music scene

" Slipping pop and funk elements into indie music, Apollo's Basement might
just be your very own cheeky dream"

The Canolas: https://www.facebook.com/canolawonders

"I look forward to seeing these guys live and hearing their next recordings.
Go check em' out". - Hyde Park Heat Magazine.

"It's urgent, it's unfussy, and it damn well knows how to show you a good
time". - James Williams, BlogJammin

A no nonsense blues/rock band that keep things simple, yet there's a
technical edge to their musicianship. Influenced by old school and modern
blues, with elements of classic rock, their sound is hard to ignore. Driving
raucous drums, coupled with equally impacting bass provide the listener with
a foundational slab in which to keep their feet firmly planted, whilst an
infectious fuzzy guitar spits out blistering blues riffs that threaten to
officially shatter it. The only way to truly hear what this band can do is
to see them in action. It's safe to say they won't disappoint

El Cartel: http://www.el-cartel.co.uk/

BBC Introducing favourites making their first 360 Club appearance!

"Dirty disco, a track to get anybody dancing!" Alan Raw - BBC Introducing!

"Likened to The Bluetones / Shed Seven / Travis / Embrace and One Night
Only. El Cartel have a dynamic & well rounded sound to their three and a
half minute creations, which they describe as: "Summer Pop with funky Rock
n' Roll undertones".

A pop feel with heart wrenching guitar Solo's and catchy beats make El
Cartel a change from your standard!!
