N&D Christmas Showcase: Gloria + The Twenty Two + Concrete Forest

Our music is described as anthemic Rock that takes on multiple forms. From hard-hitting and energetic to psychedelic and soulful, soothing and emotive, we aim to deliver tunes that have the power to relate to and capture the hearts of a wide variety of music lovers. Taking Inspiration from greats such as David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Queen and Pink Floyd (amongst many others), our sound naturally contains elements of that timeless music, but presented in a way that’s refreshing for a contemporary audience. The content of our music and the themes we write about are not only very personal to our own lives but also is massively influenced by youth culture in Britain and how it’s shaped us as people and as a society

The Twenty Two

On reflection, a global pandemic wasn’t the ideal time to launch a new band but Warrington -based, 4-piece The Twenty Two managed to write and record their debut ep between lockdowns and release to critical acclaim. Their debut is packed with vociferous attitude and swagger, bursts of guttural vocal energy, grinding guitars and pounding drums but there’s also a sensitive side on display with strong songs, soaring melodies and talented musicianship.

Concrete Forest

Think: Sam Fender, Kings of Leon and Royal Blood birthed an indie rock band made up of geeks and freaks, welcome to the stage: Concrete Forest. Fresh off the back of releasing their debut EP " Daybreak" Concrete Forest showcase an interesting mix of high-energy rock styles, demonstrating an exploration of different genres and topics to a unique auditory experience. The group; consisting of Joseph Denyer, Jordan Wilson, Yejune Chun, and George Highton; showcase progressiveness through intricate guitar lines and raspy vocals.
