PARLAY
HOIST THE BLACK FLAG. PREPARE FOR THE PIT. 🏴☠️
Forged in the briny depths of the Ocean City, Parlay isn’t just a band—they are a full-blown metallic mutiny.
Blending the relentless, neck-snapping speed of thrash and metalcore with the bone-crushing, abyssal weight of hardcore and death metal, this pirate-themed crew delivers a broadside of sound that is as entirely unique as it is devastating.
Armed to the teeth with sweeping melodic riffs and hull-shattering breakdowns, Parlay don’t just play gigs – they orchestrate incredible live experiences. Where else will you find a crowd driven to such an absolute frenzy, creating monstrous pits where you can spin a scallywag and row the galley at the same time?
The storm is brewing, the cannons are loaded, and the crew is calling for all hands on deck.

PARLAY
VULTURE GOD
VULTURE GOD
NO EASY ANSWERS. ONLY ABSOLUTE CARNAGE.
Hailing from Bristol, Vulture God is a relentless, fast-rising force in the underground scene, perfectly balancing epic, blackened metal with smash-mouth tech death. Nodding to heavyweights like Gojira and Mastodon, this crew is out to conquer the stage with a furious, highly-technical assault.
With the release of their blistering debut EP, No Easy Answer, Vulture God proves they can cram a ridiculous amount of power into every single riff. From sweeping melodic soundscapes and lush twin-harmony leads to feral snarls and skull-crushing, heavier-than-thou breakdowns, their sound is a muscular pounding of pure, unadulterated heavy metal.
But it’s on the stage where Vulture God truly takes flight. Known for igniting immediate mosh pits the second they hit the stage, their live shows are a technical explosion of frantic double-bass, pyrotechnic soloing, and raw, hoarse-throated passion. They don’t just put on a gig—they bring the war drums.
NEVERSOUND
NEVERSOUND
REVIVING THE REBELLION. REDEFINING THE SOUND.
Emerging from South Devon, Neversound is breathing fierce new life into the 90s grunge and alternative rock that defined an era. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip—it’s a modern, high-voltage resurrection. Driven by heavy, distortion-soaked guitar riffs and raw, unapologetic vocals, their sound perfectly channels the restless, authentic spirit of a rebellious generation.
Exploding onto the scene in 2025, the band wasted no time leaving their mark. Following the massive July release of their debut LP, Where Did The Time Go?, Neversound has quickly become a dominant force in the modern rock underground.
They have spent the months since their debut relentlessly packing out venues, leaving sweaty, exhausted audiences completely floored. By fusing crushing instrumentation and razor-sharp technical prowess with soaring, emotive vocals, a Neversound show isn’t just a gig—it’s a massive release of pure, unfiltered energy.
POINT THE BLAME
POINT THE BLAME
POP-PUNK NOSTALGIA WITH A HEAVY METAL PUNCH.
Straight out of Cornwall, Point The Blame is bringing the kickflip back to the pit. Don’t let the pop-punk label fool you—while their melodies are undeniably infectious, this four-piece is fueled by deep rock and metal roots, giving them a distinctively heavier, punchier edge than your average sad-boy anthems.
If you grew up shredding on Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater or plastering your bedroom walls with posters from Kerrang! magazine, Point The Blame is the soundtrack to your misspent youth, supercharged for the modern stage. With backing from BBC Introducing and Kerrang! Radio, they are quickly making serious noise across the South West.
Having already shared stages with heavy-hitters like The Hara, Mother Vulture, and Downcast, Point The Blame knows exactly how to command a room. Expect high-energy riffage, massive singalongs, and an unapologetically fun live show that will leave you sweating and screaming for more.
