WHITELANDS, Vanessa, Etienne, Jagun & Michael Our idols in music are Slowdive, Turnover, and Asian Kung-Fu Generation. A venue we dream of performing at is the Fuji Rock Festival. When we’re not rehearsing, we’re focusing on job applications. On our rider for the first time, we would request Sensations Sweet Chilli crisps. During a tour, there might be disagreements about where to eat. Our pre-concert ritual involves getting the band together as we all have ADHD.

OREGLO, Linus, Nicco & Teigan In three words, our band epitomizes being really, really nice. Our musical icons include David Bowie, Theon Cross, and Kevin Parker. A venue we aspire to play at is Red Rocks. Our desired cover performance is “Hey Bulldog” by The Beatles. Our debut album is titled Hello Bro. On tour, disputes might arise on whether or not to go out. For merchandise, we would offer our souls. Our pre-gig tradition is a three-way handclasp.
PAPER HATS, Gabe, Sam, Conn & Clem Our music idols are Ian MacKaye, Charles Hayward, and Vern Rumsey. Our preferred cover to perform is “Arcarsenal” by At the Drive-In. The title of our very first record eluded agreement among us. Our first dressing room request would be for satsumas due to our dire need for Vitamin C. During a tour, disagreements may emerge about sleeping arrangements. Before taking the stage, we might indulge in a Tesco Meal Deal or £2.50 quiche Lorraine.
LOST LYRA, Luke, Frankie, Amelie, Marty, Zeno & Anzhie In three words, our band is described as spacey, dreamy, and unpredictable. A dream cover performance for us would be “Sir Duke” by Stevie Wonder. Our debut album would be titled Cold Comfort. When music isn’t our focus, our free time is spent going to concerts. If we were to put down our first requests, they would include grapes, lots of beers, and gözleme. Our merchandise would feature embroidered socks. Before showtime, we are busy penning down the set list merely 10 minutes before the performance.
