The Young Hearts
Kent based quartet The Young Hearts are an alternative rock band, whose only desire is to create music that's heartfelt and honest, just like their heroes, from Jimmy Eat World and Brand New to The Gaslight Anthem. The Young Hearts formed in 2013 after the split of Promise Me Tomorrow, a relatively popular pop punk band in the South Coast area.

Wave Chase
Fun, fresh and doused in Surf rock, indie 4-piece Wave Chase formed on the south coast of Bournemouth in early 2018. Now Brighton based, the group consists of former course-mates and friends: George Kingman (vocals, rhythm guitar) Timothy-Samuel Baldwin (bass, vocals) Mickey Golicher (lead guitar) and Charlie Cane (drums). The band have been noted for their high intensity live shows, combining immediate and catchy choruses, with Jangly guitars and boisterous drumming.
