The Virginmarys
The Virginmarys are an English rock
duo from Macclesfield, England.
The band formed in 2006 and self-released a limited series of sold out EPs, before releasing their debut album King of Conflict on DoubleCross/Cooking Vinyl and Wind Up Records (US) in February 2013. The album was awarded Editors Choice by iTunes US following their songs "Bang Bang Bang" and "Just A Ride" both being iTunes Singles Of The Week and was then nominated for Album Of The Year at the Classic Rock Awards 2013.
Imperial Leisure
From their humble beginnings as a party band born out of school friendships, Imperial Leisure have continued to go from strength to strength, forever evolving their style but sticking true to their reputation for delivering fun and high energy live performances. Taking influences from all around, the music in part is a fun-loving throwback to the British 2-tone ska era delivered with rock’n’roll hiphop attitude. It all began back in early 2000’s, Imperial Leisure signed to Primary Talent live music agent and Crucible Management. A succession of live appearances and recordings followed until eventually in 2008 their breakthrough single In a Letter was released, achieving national radio play. During this year Imperial Leisure also played many festivals across the UK, asserting themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the festival circuit. Later that year the bands’ debut album The Art Of Saying Nothing was launched in spectacular fashion with a legendary show at Scala, London.
Erotic Secrets of Pompeii
play wild, weird apocalyptic lounge music - a twisted amalgamation of angular art rock and transgressive post-punk. Their songs have received support from BBC Radio 6, Radio X and BBC Introducing.
ESOP's music is populated by grotesque imagery and vivid symbolism, drawing from artists across different mediums, such as Lynch, Dali, Bacon, Blake, Cronenberg, Jodorowsky, Mapplethorpe.
The band released their debut EP, Trash Jugular, at the end of 2022 which was followed by a UK headline tour in early 2023. This was followed by a handful of appearances at major festivals including Boomtown and Bearded Theory, and support slots for Electric Six's 20th anniversary tour across the UK. Their debut album Mondo Maleficum is out on 25 January 2024.
