JUDGE SHREDD - FREE NEW YEAR SHOW 🤘

@judge_shredd_uk are a newly formed 5 piece heavy metal covers band based in London, bringing a relentless mix of classic anthems and deeper cuts from some of our favourite metal bands. Drawing from the likes of Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura, System of a Down, Testament and beyond, our sets are built around crushing riffs, thunderous grooves, memorable melodies and the kind of songs that demand to be played loud. Expect a high-energy, no-nonsense metal assault packed with headbanging riffs, huge choruses and plenty of old-school attitude. FFO: Metallica, Slayer, SOAD, Sepultura

@bloodinthedojo - a four-piece rock and metal covers band based in Surrey, bringing a hard-hitting mix of classic anthems, heavy riffs and less obvious favourites to venues across London and the surrounding areas. From Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy through to Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, WASP, Deftones etc. the set moves freely across decades of rock and metal without sticking to the usual greatest-hits formula. Expect big riffs, powerful grooves, huge choruses and plenty of songs you might not expect to hear from a covers band.
FFO: Guns and Roses, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne

@secondhandyouth - a four-piece cover band playing the rock, punk, indie, alternative and Britpop classics we grew up with. From anthems and singalongs to raw guitar-driven favourites, our set spans the music that defined our youth and still sounds great turned up loud. We bring an energetic, authentic live show packed with familiar songs, big choruses and plenty of nostalgia - because some things are worth bringing back.
FFO: The Clash , The Offspring, Joy Divison, Sex Pistols

⚡️ DELLA NOVA NEXT WEEK ⚡️

@dellanovaofficial - London-based three-piece rooted in the intersection of progressive heavy rock and metal. The trio fuse weighty 8-string guitar grooves with vocals that oscillate between melody and grit.

They are heavy with range – technically fluent, yet built to connect beyond the niche. They seamlessly craft music that blends technical prowess with catchy, hook-led songwriting, achieving a balance that has already earned support from BBC Introducing.
FFO: Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, Deftones

@coastnoir - A band once made of four is now two, but as the layers collapsed, an unwavering core was revealed.

Dark. Destructive. Inexorable. Crimson waves heading for the shore without reprieve. COAST NOIR are not just a band. They are an enigma. An essence. Something to breathe in. Join them, or let the waves take you.
FFO: Sleep Token, Loathe, Bring Me The Horizon

@damned_to_dirt - An alternative metal band based in South West London, who deliver on the post 90s inspired darkness the name suggests. Hard hitting groove and soaring melody define what the band is about and all of this is brought to life with an energetic and powerful live show comparable to none.
FFO: Alice in chains, Helmet and Life of Agony
