Vaughan H King

Since 2020, London based singer-songwriter Vaughan H King has been writing a story titled ’Darkness At Dawn’, which is an east end tragedy, broken into four acts. The story follows Vaughan’s grandparents Violet and Reginald Compton during the early to mid 1950’s when England, and London in particular, was still recovering from the devastating effects of the second world war. Whilst the public were living amongst the rubble after the terror of the blitz, the couple were beginning a love affair in Forest Gate, East London, which would ultimately end in tragedy. Vaughan has broken the tragedy into four acts; Love, Murder, Forgiveness and Afterlife (Part 1 & 2). He has released five singles leading up to the album release on Friday 16th May 2025.

Boxing Club

Boxing Club is a five-piece post-punk band forged in Glasgow and fully realised in London. Blending raw intensity with sharp political lyricism, their sound is both confrontational and cathartic—music built for the disillusioned.After honing their craft through relentless rehearsals and studio sessions with producer Michael Smith (RYP Recordings), Boxing Club are gearing up to unleash their debut single, ‘Barbra’, alongside a series of live performances. With roots spanning Glasgow, London, Cambridge, and Cornwall, the band channels a furious energy that reflects the times—urgent, aggressive, and unflinchingly direct. So far, they’ve made their mark on London’s live scene with shows at The Fiddler’s Elbow, The Good Mixer and The Elephants Head with more to come.

Charli Herbert

"Singer songwriter Charli Herbert is a Kiwi musician who recently moved to the UK to immerse herself in the London indie music scene. Inspired by artists such as Matilda Mann, Men I Trust and Mazzy Star, Charli released her debut EP ‘Nice Girl’ in April of 2024.
