Alt-rockers, Mad Alice, have been labelled as one of the most striking bands. The Liverpool trio have been commended for excellent guitar and drum work. With bluesy undertones, the band have just released their debut single, 'Vulture Tree', last month.

Big Bambora’s come a long way in quite a short span of time. This rock band, consisting of five mates, only joined up in 2016, but quickly managed to play venues such as the Manchester Academy and O2 Academy Islington. They’ve also secured radio play on BBC Merseyside and BBC Lancashire Introducing. It doesn’t come of much as a surprise either, as their catch songs and “hug a friend” melodies does well to get the dance floor pumping.

Quickly becoming a band to watch, their early recordings ‘Morning Light’, ‘Out on the Ledge’, ‘Call Your Army’ and ‘Robots’ have already received acclaim in the UK and U.S. The band, who very cleverly creates memorable melodies and combines it with a unique sound, will be releasing three new songs this spring.
