heavy wild is a London-based lo-fi alt-rock project blending post-punk grit, with shoegaze atmospherics and emotionally charged songwriting to create a dark and compelling sound. Formed in 2022, the band, led by songwriter Wolfgang Harte, has quickly built a reputation for its raw, analogue-driven sound and dark, introspective lyrical style.
Their debut EP, Death Dreams (2025), explores themes of disconnection, loss, and struggle, delivered through layered guitars, detuned synths, and a bruised vocal intensity. Drawing comparisons to acts like The Jesus & Marcy Chain, early aRCADE fire and more recent contemporaries like Wunderhorse, heavy wild combine atmospheric depth with a confrontational edge, earning them support from the likes of Clash, Notion, So Young, The Line of Best Fit, Earmilk and more.
Following a debut headline UK run across February and March the group has since celebrated the release of its debut EP with two NYC headlines and a sold-out Sebright Arms show. With a growing presence in the UK’s alternative scene, heavy wild is emerging as a compelling new force to watch.
Supporting on the night will be
For The Monks
It’s not for us, it’s not for you, it’s For The Monks. For The Monks are blending funk, punk and passion, delivering the new, new wave of alternative rock.
Shugi
Brighton-based buds and alt-rock outfit Shugi formed in 2024-who always offer a dynamic fresh sound with each new song through warm, fuzzy melodies, thoughtful harmonies, occasional chaotic energy and emotionally-tapped lyrics to the ears of those who need to understand.
The four-piece consists of Jake Seaton (Singer/Guitarist), Layne Searle (Backing/Guitarist), Zein Mansour (Drummer), and Ethan Emerson (Bassist). The friends originally met in college, involving themselves in separate projects of their own, however, working together was always on the table. After their final year, they grouped together to start a new band with the simple goal of creating an equal and impactful driving force.
