S.C.O is a 4 piece British rock band based in St Albans. The band started up in 2023 and started posting on social media the year after. S.C.O was formed in school by a collection of rock-loving and pringle-adoring friends and is heavily influenced by the works of the Arctic Monkeys and Green Day. The unique brand of entertainment combines powerful drums and sharp vocals with an impressive stage presence and witty stage banter, a combination that will make anyone want to dance and sing all night long.
Conquering their school’s battle of the bands wasn’t enough for them though, because they’re coming for us at The Horn, too.
Re:O emerged in 2020, blending Dark Techno, J-Pop, and Alternative Metal, led by singer-songwriter-producer Rio Suyama from Saitama, Japan. Starting with dream pop under the name RIØ. After moving to Maidenhead, UK, Re:O evolved into a band with James Wright (bass), J Stevens (drums), and Alex Carli (guitar) joining the line up. Their 2024 debut single "Ronin" gained 12,000+ Spotify plays and critical acclaim. Follow-up singles “The Haunted,” “Violets,” and “Crimson Desire” received BBC Introducing support. Known for hypnotic bilingual vocals and energetic live shows, Re:O bridges Japanese and Western music, forging a bold global path.
Destroy The Map from Milton Keynes are bringing the big riffs of metal and the brutal honesty of hardcore all mixed up with a twist of melody. Their debut self titled EP is turning heads on the underground circuit. Definitely not a band to sleep on.
A little loud, a little soft, nostalgic and introspective. London based three-piece of three non-Londoners: Louise on lead vocals and guitar, Gavin on backing vocals and bass, Ben on drums. Formed in 2023 (taking a risky punt on internet strangers) with founding drummer Ivan, who left to move back to his home country in summer 2024. Inspired by the guitar driven bands of the 90s and early 2000s, melodic and aspiring to be "your friends' favourite band". FFO Jimmy Eat World and others a bit left of the dial.
