Four-piece London-based alternative rock outfit Minimum Wage offer a fresh take on the eclectic rock scene of the 2000s. Whilst the influence of bands like Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, Blink 182, Muse and countless others is firmly stamped on their music, the group are also heavily influenced by jazz, funk, pop and metal. What results from this quirky musical melting pot is a unique brand of rock with boundless energy, anthemic choruses and sensitive melodic grooves, all while remaining ferociously catchy.

Consisting of Will Burton (vocals/guitar), Adrian D’Alessandro (guitar/vocals), Jack Scanlon (bass/vocals) and Charlie Flynn Southard (drums), the band began as Will Burton’s solo project, enjoying headline shows at venues such as the Courtyard Theatre in London and supporting Strawberry Lace on their Quardafeline Album tour in 2023. However, having solidified a stable line up and begun writing music collectively, there was little option but to formalise their creative relationship together and establish themselves a band.

With their debut album, Modern Misery, set for release in Summer 2024, Minimum Wage are not to be slept on. They are making a lot of noise in the London music scene and it is becoming hard not to take notice.

South London powerhouse Dead Air are firmly planting their flag in the UK underground. Drawing influence from their love of heavy, riff-driven rock, the band use their music as an escape, tackling their demons head on and carving out a new direction for alternative rock that is both aggressive and vulnerable.

Fiercely DIY, they have gigged relentlessly since forming in 2021, taking their infamous 3-door Skoda from Brighton to Glasgow, and everywhere in between. Thier infectious live energy has seen them sell out shows across the UK whilst making their major festival debut through the battle of the bands competition at Bloodstock Open Air last summer.

Now, Reuben Moonasar (vocals/bass), Richard Greenbury (drums) and Lyle Broom (guitar) have poured two years of musical discovery into their new, four song EP dropping in 2024, offering listeners the clearest definition yet of what to expect from Dead Air
