DEAD RAT SOCIETY
DANCE/PUNK - London
Fusing the no-nonsense lyricism of Punk, the hard hitting
dance beats of electronic music, and the raucous noise of fuzz rock. Limb-loosening and unconventional, the rats come fast, and they come hard.

INDUSTRY STANDARD
WONKY TONK SWAP POP- London
Industry Standard are a London-based four piece, noted for being as unyielding in their songwriting as they are in their visual narrative.
Warped, discordant riffs merge with disco-infused rhythms.
Immersive storytelling and DIY theatrics form an uncanny world,where the seemingly comedic surface gives way to something raw.
