Blurring the line between pop and rock, The Valla are an emerging band from London. The Valla began by playing shows at packed house parties for friends and fans, and pride their live shows on having that same feeling - energetic, dancing, intimate chaos. The Valla have sold out The 100 Club, performed at the legendary Isle of Wight Festival, and have been featured consistently on BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, Triple J and Spotify Official Playlists. A glowing recent live review stated you need to “catch one of their live sets in a small venue whilst you still can”.
The Creature Appeal exist on the fringes of the indie landscape; while at one moment you may get driving guitars and anthemic choruses, the next you will get an introspection on self-doubt and the imposter syndrome that comes from navigating life as a 20-something. One foot in adulthood, another in adolescence, the band are nothing if not earnest. Their new single, ‘A Vague Drawing of a Sketchier Night Out’ is an autobiographical reflection on regret, centered around a particular club night gone wrong in the second city. Imagine the introspective lyrics of Phoebe Bridgers/ Boygenius, paired with soulful vocals of Florence + The Machine, all backed by John Mayer-esque grooves. The last 6 months for the band have been nothing short of a whirlwind; from a run of sell-out shows in the capital (culminating in an electric set at Bush Hall), to playing with Live Nation and performing at the prestigious Glastonbury Festival, it’s safe to say the rest of 2025 is theirs for the taking.
Charlie Bennett is a 24-year-old bedroom-pop artist from Birmingham. Inspired by Dayglow and Beabadoobee, he started releasing music in late 2020, having taught himself to record and produce from his bedroom during lockdown. A self-declared “bedroom pop artist”, Bennett was drawn to the genre’s creativity-first ethos: making music with whatever gear you have. This DIY stance proved itself in his breakout track “Is This Falling?” in September 2020. With 6 million streams and counting, it was recorded using a £20 microphone and an iPhone. Its success gave Bennett the confidence to double down on his musical instincts, releasing his debut EP “Duvet Days”, which was aptly named after using his bedding to soundproof his room whilst recording. Charlie Bennett has built a community of over 500,000 dedicated followers, nicknamed his “Strawbennetts”, who’ve helped stream Charlie’s music over 12.5 million times to date. He’s landed playlist spots on Spotify’s “Our Generation”, supported Will Joseph Cook’s recent UK tour, a slot at Reading Festival, plays on 6 Music, BBC Introducing and KCRW, and the attention of major label bosses, one of whom Bennett remembers chatting to on Zoom whilst folding his socks. Given what they continue to achieve from a student bedroom, it is clear this DIY champ is one to watch.
