Woody & The Woulds

Manchester four-piece Woody & the Woulds formed in 2022. Partially inspired by the city they now call home, their debut album The Metropolitan Elite explores love, loss and anxiety in the post COVID era. Expect big tunes, bad jokes and broken strings.

CUB

Hailing from Salford, CUB is an alternative rock four-piece delivering a raw, driving sound, dubbed, "The Northern Rage." Blending tongue-in-cheek political lyrics with intricate shifting tempos and chaotic crescendos, they are known for their unapologetic energy and electrifying, sweat-soaked live shows.
