ALT ROCK NIGHT

Join us for a night of music with the best emerging alternative and indie rock bands in the area

The Voltares

Born from a long-lost friendship that found its way back, The Voltares play the kind of alternative rock that lives in your chest for days. Jay Cassie and Rob Quigley reunited in February 2025 and were joined by Luke Hathaway on drums and Iestyn Thomas on bass soon after. Since then, the band has been building their sound from scratch in Woking, tapping into something raw and undeniable. Their songs don’t hide behind mystery. They get straight to the hook. Loud guitars. Big feelings. Lyrics that stick. There’s nostalgia in what they do—but it isn’t rerun energy. You might be reminded of bands like Travis, Crowded House and Snow Patrol or the early edge of The Cure or Echo and The Bunnymen. The Voltares take that heart, add their own stories, and turn it up.

The Bennetts

The Bennetts are a three-piece indie rock band based in the Guildford area, who formed in the summer of 2022. Consisting of Will Simpson on vocals and bass guitar, Finn Gosling on lead guitar, and Edgar Black on the drums, this three-piece is made up of three men who have been the closest of friends for most of their lives, meaning the chemistry and compatibility within the band is unmatched. Their debut EP, The Aviary, brings together influences such as Arctic Monkeys, Royal Blood and Nothing But Thieves. Expect atmospheric riffs, gritty drumming and soaring vocals.

Low Bridge

Low Bridge are an up coming original funk/rock band from Farnham. Their high energy stage perfomance and original material won them battle of bands and landed them a spot at Guilfest last year. With Eddie Lawrence on lead vocals/guitar, Josh Gilliam on vocals/guitar, Charlie Ayton on bass, Jacob Cornwell on keyboard, and Ollie Monk on drums.
