Roulette are a female fronted pop punk 4 piece from Manchester UK. They’re all about 2000’s rock and are for people who love Paramore, Flyleaf and Julia Wolf. Their music has many influences, from heavier bands such as Architects to indie powerhouses such as Catfish and the Bottlemen. They have a high gain, high energy sound that conveys emotion in every song. The songs aren’t random, they blend true stories with music that makes you feel things.
Danny Wright is a UK pop-punk artist blending raw, honest lyrics with anthemic guitars. A former touring musician and BBC-featured artist, his songs explore ADHD, resilience, and chasing dreams against the odds.
Disco Lizard are straight out of East London and straight onto your radar, they are a five piece rock ’n’ roll force of nature, shaking hips and rattling stages with raw energy, swagger and their unmistakable reptilian sound.
Fusing gritty garage rock, infectious grooves and an explosive stage presence, Disco Lizards bring a fresh shot of adrenaline to the UK indie scene. Their music is loud, loose and laced with attitude — the kind of soundtrack that gets you dancing on tables and screaming every lyric.
2026 has seen the Lizards step things up with the release of their second album, LIFE LESSONS, followed by a UK HMV tour taking the band to Liverpool, Norwich, Canterbury and Birmingham, alongside a growing run of live dates and festivals including Tramlines, Keynsham Fest and Victoria Park Sessions.
With two albums under their belts, miles on the road and a reputation for blistering, high energy live shows, Disco Lizards are building a growing cult following and proving themselves as one of London’s most exciting underground rock ’n’ roll bands.
