S.L.U.N.G.
Slung’s debut album ‘In Ways’ is a collaborative combustion of its members’ experiences, circumstances and supreme musicianship. Their sonic universe - comprising the power of guitarist Ali Johnson’s incendiary riffs, vocalist Katie Oldham’s enviable dynamic and tonal range, bassist Vlad Matveikov’s undulating, yet grounding basslines and drummer Ravi Martin’s expert rhythmic punctuation - is a veritable musical supernova.
Musical influences within the Slung camp are far reaching, with the band’s members referencing artists from Deftones and Baroness, to Wednesday and MJ Lenderman, to Queens of the Stone Age and even a sprinkling of Chappell Roan and Fleetwood Mac.
Slung live and in person is really where they come to life in their full form with the band astutely realising that tangible experience was important to get on the road, even before they’d released a note of music. Following the release of their debut singles, they unveiled a series of live studio sessions which truly convey the band’s prowess on the live stage. Slung will be on the road throughout 2025, armed with an arsenal of songs that will captivate the soul of anyone smart enough to listen.

Nature TV
Door-to-door heartbreak salesmen Nature TV peddle an elixir of escapism and adventure. Sorrow and despondency. Contemplative nostalgia and tender melancholy. Hailing from Brighton it’s a canvasing technique they employ around the British Isles. Geographically out of phase with the main character energy of London, Guy Bangham (guitar, vocals), Josh Eriskin (bass), Jimmy Hunt (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Zal Jones (drums) write sadboi yacht rock layered with all the buried trauma of a Wes Anderson plot.
Live, the four-piece have captivated audiences at festivals such as ILMC, The Great Escape and Wild Paths alongside support slots with PINS, Wyldest, CVC, VANT, and Swimming Tapes. Following a UK tour with Trudy & The Romance the band took to the road for their own headline dates in October 2022 where they sold out Sneaky Pete’s (Edinburgh), Green Door Store (Brighton), The Washington (Sheffield), and The Victoria (Dalston).
