Lamears (Saturday 15th June)
A BS5 boozer-based 3 piece who love to bask in dark stoner chugs and smoke a few 5/8 riffs. A potent cocktail of kyuss, rage, fugazi that will even get the zimmerframe metalheads moshing.

BLOODRITE (Saturday, 15th June)
FFO: Type O Negative, Deep Purple, Joy Division
"Blending heavy, bluesy riffs with gothic keyboards and catchy hooks reminiscent of a 60s hippie-cult turned undead, BloodRite have finally been resurrected to torment an unsuspecting 2024 audience with a sonic wall of fuzz, church organ, and Hammer Horror campiness"

DIRTY NIPS (Saturday, 15th June)

ABSENT SIGNIFIER - the change is here so it is reasonable to start with it. Tee and Dave will start the Saturday fun with their set, driven by their own language and we will invite everyone to jam.
2 drumkits will be there. You know what it means. Yes, you gotta join.
FFO:
King Crimson, Napalm Death, John Zorn (Painkiller/Naked City), Ornette Coleman
Description:
Absent Signifier play free metal: structured and free improvisations with metal sounds. Frequently dipping into grindcore and sludge but with flurries of frenetic jazz and churning krautrock, the band are wildly unpredictable but retain a core of caustic riffage, volcanic drumming and deranged bellowing.
