EVILLE
Brighton based brat metal band EVILLE consists of singer/guitarist Eva Sheldrake, bassist/singer/producer Jude Richards and drummer Milo Hemsley. Their style is a collision of bratty, fearless lyricism and hard‑hitting metal instrumentals, a sound that’s as mischievous as it is punishing.
Their EP, ‘BRAT METAL’, channels the band’s energy in full force. Tracks like ‘BR4T MBL’ hit with boldness, blending electronics, hardcore and layers of sound in ways that feel entirely fresh — a signature that instantly sets them apart. Meanwhile, ‘No Pictures Please’ and ‘Bikini Top’ combine playful defiance with crushing riffs, showcasing EVILLE’s skill at fusing melody and aggression into something thrillingly unpredictable.
With a string of high-profile tours alongside WARGASM, Delilah Bon and As Everything Unfolds, EVILLE are a band in motion. Fierce, irreverent and uncompromising, they’re not just making music but creating something truly fresh and unique and we can’t wait to see what’s next for them.
Lifespark.
From Koblenz, Germany, Lifespark. delivers a vibrant fusion of Emo Pop Rock that strikes the perfect balance between raw emotion and uplifting positivity. Since forming in 2018, the band has pursued a mission to push back against hopelessness with music that radiates energy and authenticity. Their sound combines heartfelt lyricism, infectious melodies and powerful breakdowns. Whether you’re listening at home or experiencing the intensity of their live shows, their songs resonate deeply.
Their growing collection of standout tracks captures the full spectrum of their emotional identity. Songs like ‘Comfort in Myself’ and ‘Endless Paradise’ channel self-reflection into soaring, hopeful melodies. ‘So Long’ reveals the band’s dynamic range, balancing vulnerability with an anthemic chorus, while ‘Sympathy’ showcases their ability to fuse raw honesty with uplifting musicality, resulting in a bright, refreshing sound that stands out within the genre.
In 2022, they were selected by Caliban to open the Dystopia club tour on short notice, proving their readiness to rise to any challenge. Their success continued in 2024 as they joined Our Last Night and Normandie on a full European tour, solidifying their reputation for leaving lasting impressions across the continent.
Renowned for their electrifying performances and genuine connection, Lifespark. champions one core message in everything they do: positivity.
Split Dogs
Split Dogs are a riot in human form — a UK four-piece that blends punk attitude with raw, unfiltered rock ’n’ roll. The band delivers music that feels immediate, fierce and dangerously catchy. Each song combines high‑speed riffs, punchy rhythms and vocals that refuse to hold back.
What makes Split Dogs stand out is their disregard for perfection. Their second album, ‘Here to Destroy’, which dropped in February 2025, captures perfectly the grit, sweat and unpredictability of a real punk performance. It rumbles with energy, raw textures and a sense of urgency that polished production often erases.
Tracks like ‘Monster Truck’ and ‘And What?’ showcase the band’s knack for marrying sharp guitars with shout-along choruses.
In a world dominated by overproduced playlists, Split Dogs remind us why rock still needs to bite. They don’t wait for permission or polish; they plug in, turn it up, and make sure every note hits like a punch.
Sorcerer
Sorcerer are a Paris-based hardcore band that emerged in 2020, refusing from the start to sit neatly in any single genre box. Their sound pulls from 90s metalcore energy, emotional screamo melodies and crushing hardcore riffs — blending them into something that feels cinematic in both style and intent.
Sorcerer clearly cares about aesthetics as much as the songs themselves; every release shows a careful balance between the visuals and the music.
After dropping two EPs and a split, the band unveiled their debut full-length ‘Devotion’ in May 2024 via Frozen Records and Delivrance Records. Standout tracks from the EP include ‘In the Arms of Mortality’, which rises from a calm, haunting intro into an explosive climax, showcasing the band’s dynamic range. ‘The Bell Jar’ delivers some of their most emotionally charged moments, while ‘The External Grief’ pushes deeper into their heavier, darker side. Together, these songs highlight the EP’s depth and the band’s evolving sound.
Having spent years on the road throughout Europe and the UK, the five-piece are now pulling back to focus on shaping their second album.
THE HOWLING
THE HOWLING mix bold theatrics with raw energy, combining the drama of My Chemical Romance, the punch of Green Day and the dark edge of Sisters of Mercy. After their September’s single ‘Little Promises’, they’re back with ‘Unholy’, a heavy, swaggering track produced by Skindred’s Mikey Demus.
‘Unholy’ follows a string of strange teasers online, where fans received mysterious packages, adding to the buzz and sense of mystery around the band. The single arrives just before THE HOWLING step onstage for the first time, with their debut shows already sold out: Blondie’s in London on January 22 and Manchester’s Castle Hotel on January 29.
Both ‘Unholy’ and ‘Little Promises’ show the band finding their voice. The vocals are impressive, and the music feels tight and polished. It’s easy to imagine the band on much bigger stages very soon.
