Forget the headliners, this is what Glastonbury is really about. - Neil McCormick (The Daily Telegraph) London four-piece Khartoum, formed in 2017 and named after the fabled racehorse from Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece The Godfather, regard their music as a touchstone which represents their collective passion for the arts. They have quietly built a loyal parish through their exuberant and climactic live shows, performing in some of London’s more beguiling venues such as the Everyman Screen On The Green and Extinction Rebellion’s stage during their creative resistance blockade of Marble Arch, London. Slow Mojo - https://youtu.be/cclnnQjz8MY "Just when you think you’ve encountered a fairly regular blues rock outfit they grab you by the sonic lapels and hit you upside the head with some edgy rock ‘n’ roll that is part Alex Harvey, part Zep. T’riffic.” – Dublin Castle, Camden N1 Rhyn - https://youtu.be/nKn1mDatOqM “Rhyn have created an EP that is sure to make an impact upon the British music scene and beyond. They have clearly shown with ‘Absence’ that they are competent and talented musicians capable of producing a sound that blends a lot of different influences together and then make it their own. Rhyn have arrived with a bang and hopefully they can maintain their momentum for a long time yet and give us an album.” - Über Rock The Ancient Unknown - https://youtu.be/LICbpFAtJk8 The Ancient Unknown is an alternative rock band exploring the musical universe to bring something otherworldly to the listener... Poolhouse - https://youtu.be/S8jYfC3C6W0 London-based poolhouse are an indie band offering a very authentic, current sound drawing on influences from The Beatles and the psychedelic Tame Impala. Having just released their first album, the influence over their music from different spectrums of the industry is evident, however their own genuine sound is not lost, and ‘moon river rock’ undeniably has its own definitive sound. They supported Sam Fender last year and the old friends have lots of new material to play for forthcoming shows so keep your ears to the ground folks! Andy John Jones - https://youtu.be/QomSuvWh7l4 Andy’s music has come to be defined by these experiences of a decade coming of age in the shadows of the minimum wage jobs and the nihilistic drug culture of Generation Z. With no money and few means, Andy headed to London where, busking on the streets of Westminster, he began to hone his sound and style as both a musician and guitar player and has since nurtured a small but growing, enthusiastic fan base. Lend Me The Twelve - https://youtu.be/5TU_qmWa45I They’re funky, they’re punk-y and their energy is unforgiving. Inspired by life’s great mysteries and drawing from the influence of Post-Punk, Funk and Samba, Lend Me the Twelve are a London based three-piece band who venture into a wide range of musical styles in the search of expressing a sonic balance of discord and harmony. Combining catchy melodies, viscerally heavy timbres and precise rhythms, the trio have been exciting and exhilarating audiences across London, in hopes of spreading the sound that they refer to as “Black Samba”. Luca Mo - https://youtu.be/SnngS4waRf8 Luca Mo is an 18 year old multi-instrumentalist and songwriter/producer making music in his bedroom whilst taking influences from Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson through to Queen and Coldplay. His music fits into a ‘jazzy/funky/pop’ genre space and, in June 2018 released his debut 14 track album ’So Much Better’ at the age of 16 which includes several tracks played on BBC Introducing. Burnt Tongues - https://youtu.be/HgeCqVPEdLk Formed in January 2019, London based trio Burnt Tongues offer an infectious amalgamation of new-age pop singalongs, alongside the quintessence of punk cynicism. Drawing inspiration from the musical pioneers of Liverpool, Birmingham and Brighton, as well as the indulgence of 70s glam, the band consisting of Chris Kelsey (vocals, bass), Jack Charles (guitar) and Piers Berryman (drums) have recruited a loyal fan base with ambitious live performances and debut single Twist & Shake. Working continuously with upcoming producers, the band are set to release a stream of singles and collaborations throughout the year and anticipate an album in early 2020. Passifs - https://youtu.be/NtwtIEe48FE A band who write catchy songs with big guitar riffs, gorgeous melodies and beautiful harmonies. Their latest single (pop rock) ‘Rejected Love’ is available to listen on all music platforms. Alternate/Indie/Pop Rock, that is heavily influenced by 90’s alt rock/grunge. Bands that have influenced the Passifs are Pixies, Violent Femmes, Arctic Monkeys, Maccabees and Lemon Twigs.
