Four London bands bring distortion, synths, and full-tilt energy to Camden—alt, classic, and heavy rock, no filler.
About this Event

Emerging Sounds Presents a heavy rock showcase featuring four London-based bands, each bringing a different edge to the stage. From pounding synths and driving basslines to riff-heavy anthems and raw, unfiltered rock 'n' roll, this is one for the volume-lovers.

🎸 The Sankaras – Classic-meets-modern rock with echoes of Led Zeppelin, The Who, and QOTSA.
🎶 Two Man Lift – Synth-heavy indie with punchy drums, fat basslines, and BBC Introducing recognition.
🔥 As Rome Burns – Big alternative rock bangers from a four-piece built for the live stage.
💥 Sh0tgun – Loud, no-frills rock ‘n’ roll with high-impact delivery and edge.


🍻 The Lock Tavern, Camden

A true Camden institution, The Lock Tavern combines historic charm with a fresh, modern spirit. With a rooftop terrace, heated garden, and a growing live music programme, the venue is reclaiming its legacy as a grassroots music hub—one that once hosted the likes of Amy Winehouse, Tame Impala, and Florence + the Machine.
