Stone Branches: “Emerging from Southampton’s music scene, Stone Branches have quietly refined a sound that feels both intimate and expansive, carving out a space that’s entirely their own.” – Pitch Perfect
Formed in Southampton by close friends, Matt Bialas (vocals), Nick Burton (guitar), Ollie Hickson (guitar) the band began with a mutual appreciation for artists such as Palace, Coldplay, Elbow and Radiohead. Later joined by Holly Barnett (drums) and Ashley French (bass) the group began their journey with the release their debut EP ‘Mantra’, which went on to receive a BBC radio airplay.
The group's subsequent single releases, 'The Way Out' and ‘React’ received glowing receptions and would quickly gain recognition both locally and nationally, seeing the group's return to a BBC feature.
"an exploration, a momentous reflection of personal growth, and a signal that Stone Branches are indeed a band to watch in the unfolding British rock scene." (The Way Out) – B Side Guys
Their intricately crafted guitar melodies, stand out vocal hooks and captivating performance elevated the band through to
the grand finals of the ‘Isle Of Wight – New Blood Competition’ against 5000 + entrants, where they were personally selected to win the ‘wild card’ prize by award winning London producer Dax Liniere.
Stone Branches' recent EP release, 'Live at The Ranch', allowed the band to capture their hallmark live sonority, giving rise to their most recent accolade of a live musical exhibition with Sofar Sounds. Their latest single, “With or Without,” continues their upward trajectory;
“a stunning addition to their growing catalogue of reflective, heartfelt tracks. Delicate yet commanding, this song captures the band’s knack for weaving intricate emotions into their sound, blending introspective storytelling with a rich, textured musical backdrop.” – Click Roll Boom
Stone Branches are set to release their next track ‘The Beautiful Now’ on January 24th, 2025.
Vinyl: Formed in Winchester, Vinyl are a four piece indie/rock band drawing comparisons to bands like The Cure and Portishead. The band was originally formed by Jake Jones (Guitar) and George Henderson (Bass) around 2017 however it wasn’t until years later that they solidified their line up with Iris Roffey (Vocals / Piano) and Stanley Halliday (Drums).
Following the success of their Isles of Scilly Tour (2024) all their released songs have now been showcased on BBC introducing. As they set out on gigs across the UK they are poised to release many more (starting with “Peppermint Lips” in February 2025)
