Line Up
Glitch is a 4-piece rock band from Maidenhead, Berkshire formed in October, 2023. We are: Ralph Martinez-Joyce, Milo Adams-Strang, Joey Woodward & Cameron Lowe. Aiming to restore catchy rock & pop songs to the mainstream with versatile original compositions, we combine infectious pop melodies with classic rock 'n' roll guitars.
Emerging with a sound that spans decades and genres, HOLiDAY MYSTICS aligns to a resonance of anthemic artists of recent times. Romantically referenced as ‘the lovechild of Florence + The Machine and Foals’, they unapologetically merge gritty alternative rock with heartfelt mystic pop. The charming combination of female and male vocals land the band in the realm of “A real life Daisy Jones & The Six” and “A modern-day Fleetwood Mac with hints of 90's Alt Rock”.
Currently working alongside GRAMMY nominated and ARIA award winning producer Adrian Breakspear (Pharrell, Coldplay, Gang Of Youths, Amy Shark), 2024 is set to be the year of releases with singles ‘Deliberance,’ and ‘Long Game’ leading the way.
The band is starting to build a profile and gain a following both in AUS & the UK, touring both territories in 2023 and are heading back to the UK to tour in August-September 2024. After receiving regular airplay in the UK last year with recent single 'WOA' being picked up by several stations including BBC Introducing and Radio X. After recently supporting Holy Holy, The Moving Stills and now The Jungle Giants the band is picking up momentum quickly.
HOLiDAY are for fans of: Florence + The Machine, The Last Dinner Party, London Grammar, Foals, Wolf Alice, Sam Fender, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and other alternative rock gems that came before them.
Lorenzo, born in ’92.
Singer by chance, songwriter by choice.
On December 17th 2023 I released my first solo album called “Amare è così” I have been a contestant in the Italian Xfactor 2023 in the Fedez team.
I’m the drummer and second voice of the Italian folk-band Mercanti di Liquore.
I’m the author and songwriter of every song of the indie-rock band Shiver, which was the band of the Italian singer/songwriter Davide Van de Sfroos during 2016/2017 FOLKCOOPERATOUR ended in San Siro stadium.
From may 2023 I started posting my own songs, giving life to my solo project: “Lorenzo Bonfanti”.
Whom By Fire are a haunting power duo based in Southend, UK. They combine exquisite harmonies with a talent for poignant writing and a fine musical calibre. Performing with acoustic guitar, bass, synth and vocals, Elyza & Dan create a dreamy world of dark romance and longing which is delivered from a whisper to a roar.
As their name suggests, they follow the trails of great bards of the 20th century such as Leonard Cohen but incorporate more modern soundscapes taken from influences as diverse as the cinema of Werner Herzog and the fiery grungy fervour of Kurt Cobain.
Their debut album ‘Slowly Sinking into Water’ explores the boundaries between dreams and reality; diving into fantastical worlds of darkness, loss and redemption.
'Slowly Sinking into Water' was released in collaboration with WrongThink Records in the Spring of 2024!
