Once upon a time, a choir girl and a metalhead got stuck on an island, with nothing but a microphone, a guitar, and a pedalboard…Across The Sea sound unlike any act you’ve heard before.

Following the February 2018 release of their debut EP, 'I, Wanderer', the duo swiftly gained a reputation as a captivating and affecting live act, performing aboard HMS Warrior, and as a showcase act at Camden’s Dublin Castle. In August 2018, the pair supported Nizlopi’s Luke Concannon at the Arundel date of his UK tour. Their debut full length album ‘Infinite Worlds’ was released on 7th December 2018.

Rock

Agitated are a high energy band full of potential. Very new to performing, they manage some covers in their set that older bands would shy away from. Their own songs are brilliant too, and although currently without lyrics, their musical skills could be mistaken for those of seasoned artists. Although they have only played a small number of gigs to date their playing abilities are not to be ashamed of from bands twice their age. We can see these guys going far and when they have a few gigs behind them and get their stage craft nailed they will be headlining in no time.

First appearing on Earth in 2012 Tidal Rave have been carrying out their mission to provide a raving good time to all beings they come across. Having conquered all in their path so far, they have proven themselves to be exactly what they are. The Best band in The UNIVERSE! And Earth is only their latest stop. Hailing from all corners of nobody knows where, they are granted their powers by mysterious forces from beyond anywhere that anyone or anything has ever been. These Super-Beings whilst powerful are (mostly) harmless, using their influence over known physics for (mostly) good deeds. After choosing Earth as their latest host planet TR merely needed to wait until a group of appropriate and compatible vessels could be assimilated. This happened to take place in Brighton of the United Kingdom and after various testing phases the humanoid form was deemed most appropriate (Dolphins were a close second). Since then Tidal Rave have discovered that human tastes for mainstream music are somewhat disappointing and so set out to become the worst band in the world as a means to maintain their title as the best band in the universe. To achieve this they mix the mind-numbingly repetitive dance figures of club music with the tragedy of prepubescent punk styles and as such are poised to be global mega-stars. Whilst it may be impossible to ever know exactly where they came from, it is obvious they still have a long way to go. So join Tidal Rave on their multicolour, musical journey to take over the world of pop... OR BE DESTROYED!

Grunge Proto-metal

In early 2018, Natt and Alex from local punk heroes Atombuzz decided that they wanted to break away and do something a bit different. Atombuzz had reached the end of its long life and the boys were hungry for change. Armed with a few songs they got back into rehearsals but needed a bassist and a singer to complete the lineup. By chance Alex had been in contact with an old friend and former work colleague Jim who offered to come down to a rehearsal and give it a go. Jim had been the former bass player in the hardcore band Wall Of Denial as well as the guitarist in SoulsScream. Right from the start the band just gelled together and Jim was offered the position after the first practice. From there on the new songs started to flow with all three contributing with varied styles. The hunt was then on for a vocalist. The band put out several ads and spoke to contacts but had no luck (apart from a couple of James Hetfield wannabies). The band were looking for a male or Female vocalist. At the end of 2018 they had some interest in the position from a Facebook ad they posted, Shona came down for an audition and the sound just came together beautifully. The lineup was complete and the band had well over 10 songs ready to rock. Two-Tonne Vice are a band you can’t really pigeon hole into one genre. Due to the mix of influences each song has a very unique sound – from pop punk all the way to metal, the band love to mix it up so that every song is interesting and different from the last. After a couple of line-up changes in 2020, the band have now rebranded as Mirrors of Madness.

We are a fiercely independent band and have developed something of a legendary status on the East London circuit, building up a fearsome reputation by word of mouth alone and by maintaining a frenetic gigging schedule around the capital.
