Sonne

After meeting in 2021 at university in Southampton, Sonne were formed and quickly found similarities between the members in taste and style. The 5-piece band combine the ambience and experimentation of post rock with the angular riffs of hard rock, pulling together the influence of post punk with its heavier contemporaries, forming a sound and a live show that has been capturing audiences.

Vexmantra

Vexmantra are an intriguing instrumental rock trio from Southampton. Growing from the seeds of the city’s grassroots music scene, the band combines metal and electronic influences with hard-hitting drums and samples. An absence of lyrics does not stop this dynamic outfit from delivering thoughtful and melodic tunes though! The heart of the band is their exploration of life through the medium of music, aided by creative visualisations and imagery. The band’s live show is a powerful and multidimensional experience, with heavy riffs and exciting grooves giving way to delicately melodic passages, before intensifying into an energetic finale. Fans of household names such as Black Sabbath, Hawkwind and Pink Floyd, as well as more niche artists like Ozric Tentacles and Toska will find lots to enjoy! ♫♪♪
