Band: Headstone From: London, UK Their formation story: (Jack Chambers, guitar): “We've all been going to shows since our teens, in various parts of the world. Our singer Filip in Poland, our drummer Jordan in New Zealand/Australia, and the rest of us all over the UK. Myself and Filip met a few years ago and later realized we were always at the same shows so he introduced me to some of his mates, which included Rob (bassist) and Jordan and we ended up hanging out a lot.

Band: Dead StareFrom: North East UKTheir formation story:(Sam, guitar): “Basically both mine and Mark’s (vocals) old bands played together a couple oftimes and that’s how we met. I think we originally hit it off talking about Siouxsie & The Banshees for some reason, but when it comes to hardcore our tastes are really close. Specifically, we both love that era of traditionally-minded hardcore from the early-to-mid 2000s,think the Revelation and Bridge Nine Records stuff from that time.

Band: ButcherBird From: London, UK Their formation story: (Bart, vocals): “We’ve all been friends for many years and played in different bands together, but never in this line up until now. Our guitarist Rob quietly compiled a stash of ideas, riffs, and otherworldly pedal noises, and enlisted Iain and me (Bart) to help turn them into some songs.
