THE OVINES
The Ovines are a South East London four-piece blending rock, ska and punk influences into high-energy songs inspired by everyday life. Formed in 2017, the band have built a reputation for lively performances, sold-out headline shows and support slots with acts including Buzzcocks and The Libertines. Their debut album, London Reign, celebrates the spirit of working-class South East London while bringing old-school sounds back to life for a new generation.
BLACK POWDER MERCHANTS
Black Powder Merchants sound was once described by a girl in a far away land as “A big truck thundering down a gravel road” in that case Shape Shaker is a massive juggernaut of a track.From its inception with the working title “Thunderbastard” this track was always going to be bold. A desert rock foundation of crunchy solid guitar riffs over a booming rhythm section all off set by a British rock ‘n’ roll swagger of the lead guitar, with the beguiling beauty of Christina's sea siren-esq vocals.Think early QOTSA meets Blondie and you're on the right dust ridden road where this track rolls.The song is gently laced with satire whilst genuinely vocalising a longing to escape society altogether for the beauty of the unknown.Get on board this behemoth of a tune, turn up the stereo and thunder along for the ride that isShape Shaker.
WREN
WREN is the solo project of singer-songwriter Kieran Newell, blending the influence of Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene and Oasis with a modern take on anthemic British guitar music.Performing live with his band, WREN has supported artists including James and Peter Doherty of The Libertines. His latest single, ‘Coming Home’, builds on a growing catalogue of big melodies, driving guitars and sing along choruses.
