lifevest was born in a seaside flat, created by singer-songwriter Freddie Marlow. Produced by David Pendergast, Kodaline’s musical director, and with Freddie’s brother on piano throughout, the project also features his sister Sasha. Drawing inspiration from deep emotion and artists like Keane, Kodaline and Bon Iver, each song is crafted as a lifeline, offering connection and support. It’s all part of a journey through life’s highs and lows, made to be felt as much as heard.

Pacific Grove is a four-piece indie rock band based in London, with an upbeat sound inspired by 90s/early 2000s alt rock and Midwest Emo.

Formed of long-time friends and musical collaborators Angus Macnaughton, Seb Marlow, Will Schnabel and Gavin ‘The Javelin’ Jackson, the band have a guitar-heavy sound that draws heavily on nostalgia and angst, with lyrics evoking both the deeply emotional and lighthearted fun.

Gayaneh established her confessional, intimate musical voice through her debut release ’scary’, an ode to fear. A fan of minimalism, she leaves 'nowhere for any flaws to hide’ (Up To Hear Music) in her surprising, off-beat lyrics and nostalgic melodies. Accompanied by James Hendy on the keys, Gayaneh delivers a stripped-back, raw vocal performance over warm, jazzy piano tones.
