Alpaca Presents | Shade UK + Swarm6ix

'Hailing from the 0117, Bristol - SHADE UK are a three-piece fusion band combining heavy music with Trap and Drum N’ Bass.

After the release of their initial singles 'Pablo' and 'Godslife' and with over 1 million streams behind them on Spotify in less than 18 months of release, they further refined their blend of Trap & Rock to perfection with their 2021 singles Fight Night & Reptilla Rodeo. Armed with a plethora of new tracks, SHADE UK made their debut live appearances in 2022 with DON BROCO in London and Liverpool, as well as selling out their own headline show in Bristol laster that year.

In 2023, Shade UK dropped their single 'Lions Den' which featured on the BBC Introducing Rock show with Alyx Holcombe and in April 2023, they once again sold out their hometown show In Bristol. The trio are set to release their debut EP later this year.'

SWARM6IX provide a safe space for those that have always appeared anti-social, dormant, and introverted on the surface. The band acquired their unique identity by combining a love for heavy trap and metal music and stand strongly for the freedom of expression within art. SWARM6IX execute a sound somewhere between Ghostemane and Emmure, yet simultaneously evoke nostalgia and familiarity. Adding a sprinkle of modern nu-metal, SWARM6IX have their red beam set to storm the scene with everything they have in their artillery and will not be stopped.

Following on from their debut singles ‘d0pamine’ and ‘$OCIAL $UICIDE’ which were both spun by BBC Radio 1, Swarm6ix release new single ‘Fuego’ on the 12th May 2023. The band will play Tech Fest later this year, having already played Collision Fest with bands such as Lake Malice and Graphic Nature. The band also tour the UK with Colosseums and Shade UK later this year and have had coverage with Metal Hammer and Loudwire. Dates below.

// Drip Fed Empire produces genre bending dystopian themed music. The 4 piece offer a unique, high-energy live performance with a dark military aesthetic, combining elements of Drum & Bass, Industrial, Nu-Metal, Post-Hardcore & Metalcore. Notable influences include ‘The Prodigy’, ‘Rammstein’, ‘Wargasm’, ‘Bring Me The Horizon’ to name a few & have often been compared to ‘Rage Against The Machine’, with more synths & ‘Enter Shikari’ due to the political nature of the lyrics combined with an ‘Electronica Metal’ sound’
