Oceanvein
Diving into the depths and delights of modern heavy music, Oceanvein boasts an outrageously ambitious collective of creative explorers. Since its humble inception as a passion project between lifelong friends Lucas Colyer and David Mackay, Oceanvein has expanded to a full-on cabal of deeply motivated comrades. Blending hypnagogic textures and enchanting melodies with a dose of disgustingly heavy riffs, their oeuvre will commence in 2025 with huge releases and pulse-pounding live shows. If you have any interest in the state of modern rock music, you need to check these guys out!
Vigilantes
After a lot of introspection and staring into the mirror, Vigilantes have independently achieved success and fought their way out of a cultural desert to perform at Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Isle of Wight Festival, SXSW and support acts like Circa Waves, The Libertines and Reverend & the Makers.
Vigilantes craft a thoughtful, melodic style of indie rock that’s as anthemic as it is atmospheric with thoughtful lyricism and explosive choruses. They do it so well that they have been placed on Radio 1’s Best Of BBC Introducing playlist and had repeat airtime on BBC Radio 1, Radio 6 & Radio X. Noted by Fresh on the Net’s Tom Robinson as ‘On a mission’, Vigilantes were part of National Lottery/MVT’s Revive Live Tour in 2022 and releasing their debut album ‘Golden Record’ in 2025.
