The 286
The 286 are a unique seven-piece orchestral rock band from South East London. They are best known for their "baroque & roll" sound, which seamlessly blends traditional indie rock riffs with classical cello and violin arrangements. The group named themselves after the London bus route that originally connected the band members and their music bridges the gap between generations, combining the symphonic rock energy of the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) with the pop sensibilities of The Beatles.
The Lathums
The Lathums are an indie rock band from Wigan, Greater Manchester. They were created by The Music Project, a stage school specialising in music, art, games and media, in April 2018 after their tutor placed them in the same project group, and within a year they signed with Island Records. They released their debut album, 'How Beautiful Life Can Be', in September 2021.
