Vant
Vant (stylised as VANT) are a British punk rock band formed in 2014 by frontman and songwriter Mattie Vant. In 201
5 Vant signed to Parlophone Records.
The band came together in London, while Mattie was working at Dalston venue, Birthdays. Originally from Seaham, Mattie has played in various bands, formulating the style for Vant whilst living in Brighton. A lot of Vant's lyrical themes deal with political issues, with Mattie citing inspiration from global issues; "My concerns are worldwide things. It's not strictly centred around the UK - it's wars, global conflict, global warming.". With this philosophy, Vant prefer to refer to their origin as 'Planet Earth'.
Mattie Vant – lead vocals, guitar (2014–present)
Billy Morris – bass guitar (2014–present)
Henry Eastham – guitar (2014–present)
David 'Greenie' Green – drums (2015–present)

The Night Café
The Night Café are a pop quartet from Liverpool who have just dropped their new single Mixed Signals that will feature on a new AA-side release coming this October.The story of a misguided kid that goes off the rails, Mixed Signals is a journey through the heartbreak of a shattered relationship. Musically, the track is a jangly pop rock tune arriving just in time for these last days of summer.
The Night Café (all members are 19 years old) met in secondary school and bonded over a shared love for the traditional musical heritage of The Beatles and The Coral. The quartet eventually made the short trip upstairs to Whitewood recording studio where producer Robert Whiteley helped to polish their promising demos into the 2015 releases Growing Up and Addicted.

The Amazons
                                                                                                                                    U.K. rock quartet the Amazons formed in 2014. Playing an arena-sized brand of indie that combines the grandeur of Arcade Fire with the muscle of Nirvana, the Amazons crafted catchy, melodic anthems built for singalongs. At the time of their formation, vocalist Matt Thomson, guitarist Chris Alderton, and bassist Elliot Briggs were already in a group together, but when they recruited Josef "Joe" Emmet -- who is also a bassist -- on drums, the Reading band was born. Building a grassroots following in their local scene, Thomson, then working at a supermarket, would slip demo CDs into shoppers' baskets. Their debut EP, 2015's Don't You Wanna, was produced by Catherine Marks, who'd previously worked with Wolf Alice and White Lies. It included the insistent rocker "Ultraviolet" and the crunching "Junk Food Forever." Even though they only had one EP under their belts, the Amazons were brought on a short European tour with the Kooks, which helped expose them to a wider audience. In March 2016, they released the urgent single "Stay with Me," and their eponymous debut album followed in May.
