SANS FROID • www.instagram.com/sansfroid.band

Sans Froid disengage you from the shackles of modern madness. Their intent is clear, to make you feel like you’re not the only one going crazy. In 2024 Sans Froid released their debut album ‘Hello, Boil Brain’, and steadily gained plaudits from a host of music tastemakers including BBC 6Music, PROG Magazine, & Everything Is Noise. With performances at ArcTanGent, 2000Trees, Strangeforms and Portals Festivals, as well as supporting Maybeshewill and Foxing, their live performances get you as close to real magic as you can get. 

In 2026 Sans Froid will be releasing their second album 'Back Into the Womb' via Church Road Records, supported by multiple UK/EU tours and festival appearances. 

“Easy to see why their progressive art-rock has been turning heads...on the cusp of something great” - The Scene
“Bristolian art-prog quartet stepping boldly into the future” - Noizze
“Absolutely mystical” - BBC 6Music
“A kaleidoscopic brain-bender wrapped in avante-garde joy and wrapped again in post-punk curiosity” - Everything Is Noise

LAWI ANYWAR • www.instagram.com/lawianywar

Born to a Ugandan father and White British mother in the Southern USA and raised in the South West of England, Lawi Anywar's in-between-ness is reflected in his pluralistic method of music creation. Combining the cathartic volume and soaring melodies of Shoegaze, Dream Pop and Post-Rock with the hypnotic, bassy textures of Funk and Hip Hop, Lawi's live shows are an experience in tension, release, and anthemic hooks, brought to life in full technicolour with the help of the naughtiest players from Bristol's Experimental, Rock and Jazz scenes. 

FFO: TV On The Radio, American Football, Yves Tumor, Blood Orange, Meshell Ndegeocello, Slowdive, Mogwai

RED SUN ALERT • www.instagram.com/redsunalert

Red Sun Alert fuse hardcore grit, mathy riffs and melodic hooks into a high-intensity sound that cuts across genres. Since forming, they’ve built a reputation tearing up stages across Ireland and the UK with explosive live shows and relentless energy.

Their latest single Just Like That showcases their evolving edge, balancing aggression with sharp songwriting. Focused on expression, unity and emotional release, Red Sun Alert are carving out their own space in heavy music — uncompromising, powerful and impossible to ignore.
