On the Rocks a night charged with rock’n’roll energy and electrifying live music. We’re back with a huge line-up featuring 4 of the most exciting bands in the scene:
Brand New Legs: 4 piece Manchester band who are blending alternative rock and indie with some gorgeous jazzy vibes. Combining Paramore-esque vocals with guitar sounds drawing on influences from Jeff Buckley to King Krule, they bring a cool and quirky presence to the stage.
Forming in 2021 through a combination of different house parties, Brand New Legs have been gigging consistently at some of Manchester’s most notorious venues including Academy 3, Band on the Wall, Night and Day, and the Deaf Institute.
The Public Eye: the Derby-based band knows how to captivate an audience. Their music is a fusion of classic British rock, catchy hook-driven writing and lyrics that capture the essence of today’s youth. “Upper Parliament,” their latest single, is a song that showcases their talents while tackling social issues that are plaguing their hometown. The song mixes their influences with post-punk stylings to create a darker and fuller sound, which marks a subtle sonic departure from their previous work.
Formed in 2021 by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Joey Greener, Jonah Radford on lead guitar, Cavan Brady on bass and drummer Zack Bednall, The Public Eye have already built a strong local following with consistent support from BBC Introducing in the East Midlands. The band’s passion for their music is evident in their performances, and their talent is undeniable.
Aqualine: hailing from Guildford, is a band comprising Ben on vocals, Patrick on lead guitar, Will on rhythm guitar, Gray on bass, and Sam on drums. Together, they craft an explosive yet melancholic blend of alternative rock, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres such as shoegaze, grunge, hip-hop, and experimental ambience.
Known for translating their recorded sound into electrifying live performances, Aqualine infuses the raw and vibrant elements of their stage presence into their layered studio productions, captivating audiences wherever they take the stage.
