Girder / Flicker Vertigo / Sloth / Flat Cactus

Girder:

“Girder are a heavy metal family formed in 2023 in the sunny, English seaside towns of Poole and Bournemouth. Girder’s aim is to reinvigorate the classic British heavy metal sound, and to bring a whole new generation of headbangers into their metal family.

Take 80s bands like Saxon, Dokken, Venom, Judas Priest, Slayer, Celtic Frost and Bathory and put them in a heavy metal blender and then you will have a sound that spans between melodic hard rock/metal and early extreme metal with elements of punk and prog.”

Flicker Vertigo:

“Flicker Vertigo are a psychedelic rock/dream pop/shoegaze/garage fuzz wall of sound band based in Bournemouth in South Coast UK, with a maximal live show and a new album out. Bursting with crunchy psychedelic textures, sun-dappled guitar hooks swirling in an explosive wall of sound, blissed-out melodies fluttering overhead, and hypnotic, driving grooves whizzing by and melting into the kaleidoscopic haze. It's a dreamy, cosmic, vertigo-inducing mixture that consumes you and transmits you skyward.”

Sloth:

“Sloth are an ironically energetic alternative rock band from Bournemouth”

Flat Cactus:

“Flat Cactus are a 5-piece Alternative Rock Band from Bournemouth”
