Bad Llama

Bad Llama are an alternative rock/metal band formed in 2016 based in Burton Upon Trent. 

They are both aggressive and melodic in their approach to song writing finding a unique balance in within their sound. 

Bad Llama blend a mixture of 90s rock/metal with modern industrial and progressive sounds. Their music delivers powerful choruses, emotive vocals, funky bass-lines, diverse beats and melodic guitars, with most songs building to an explosive climax. 

Influences range from bands such as Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, Tool, Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine and Bring Me The Horizon.   

Bad Llama released their debut EP Shedding Skin in September 2016, with its leading single The Wolf You Feed being aired on Kerrang! Radio several times. 

The band were also played on BBC Introducing East Midlands and many other stations across the world. The band also made a TV appearance as part of Johnny Doom’s show ‘Amp’d’  on Birmingham TV in November 2016.

Field Of Giants

If you like your rock heavy then Oxford-based, masked hard rockers, Field of Giants have the very thing for you, with the release of their second independent album In Arcadia dropping in June.

After a string of local shows to test their new material, Field of Giants are well prepared for the release of their follow-up on the music buying public.





In Arcadia is ready to hit the ground running and the band; described as, 'the love child of Tool and Incubus', are delighted to be bringing it to you after putting the finishing touches to this musical behemoth. 

It's the follow-up to their independently released debut album We Are and In Arcadia promises to build upon Field of Giants’ distinctive sound of self-proclaimed “Dense atmospheric, hard hitting rock!”.




The impressive 56-minute run-time is a testament to the band’s continued exploration into their, now characteristic, cinematic sound; layering heavy guitars, high impact drums, and soaring vocals to create an expansive sonic experience. 

“But don’t take our word for it” says Field Of Giants, encouraging listeners to redefine what they expect from a modern hard rock album. 

Last month, along with two new live sessions at Studio Focus Recordings, Field of Giants released their first video for the upcoming album. The official music video for the track White Water was released on the band’s YouTube and Facebook pages, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect in June. 

Ralph's checked out the impressive 10-minute teaser for In Arcadia and if that's a taste of what's to come you're in for a treat. Plus, with videos, live sessions, gigs and even more planned for the coming months, I'm confident Field of Giants can beat the ‘Sophomore Slump’.
