VOL.1
Hillbilly Troupe
The Hillbilly Troupe are a band that spans five generations, which encompasses many genres from these periods and more.
A blend of Trad. Folk, Irish, Ska and Punk with a strong sense of history and tradition.
Serial Chiller
Serial Chiller have a DIY attitude that resonates through the pencil-scratched, paint-splatted artwork, through to the no-messing song writing. If you doused Pavement and Parquet Courts in paint stripper, peel away the remains, you’d find something a little like these guys. With short catchy riffs and cutting lyrics, Serial Chiller have created their own brand of slacker punk.
Fronteers
Taking their name from a Kings of Leon B-side ‘Frontier City’, indie rock lads Fronteers have truly been making a name for themselves over the past few years. The group have had extensive radio play from the likes of Alan Raw, Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq and have even been dubbed ‘the hottest thing in Hull’ by the NME.
Black Lime
Describing their sound as ‘honey-dipped rock & roll’, the band are looking to bring old and new school together. They promise to deliver original, well thought riffs and thundering drum beats, that can only be labeled as the ‘Black Lime’ sound.
El Whaeko
Unique, soulful and northerly vocals drench stories with alluring melodies and bring to life the underbelly of his native Yorkshire. ‘Elwhaeko’ is the solo project of singer / songwriter, Lee Atkinson (formerly Making Dens / JSMG). A modern take on folk and indie guitar music, the hooks are classic and the words offbeat, woven into intricate, beautiful and original melodies.
Waste of Paint
The subtle sound of brilliance.
The Quicksilver Kings
Original 60’s inspired country blues-pop, fronted by singer, songwriter and poet, Keith Hagger. After appearing on Channel 4’s The Secret Millionaire in 2009, Keith cut his first demos at the Warren and went on to play the main stage at Freedom Festival. His vocal style is reminiscent of old classics like Buddy Holly and The Everley Brothers yet has a freshness to it and never fails to blow people away.
The Froot ’67
In late 2013, Stevie, Louie, Zach and Jack met at Hessle High School, where after months of hard work, combined their influences to create the Dark Progressive Rock band known as The Froot ’67. Soon to play events such as The Sesh and headline the Cottingham Springboard Festival, then eventually in mid-April of 2015 released their debut album ‘Seven Past Eight’.
Chambers
The band are racking up an impressive list of support slots in their home county and have so far played with the likes of Black Honey, The Mirror Trap, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Heck and Clean Cut Kid; a list that’s almost as varied as their own many-faceted influences. Citing the likes of Nirvana, The Pixies, Kendrick Lamar, Reggie Snow, Deap Valley, The Smashing Pumpkins, Pulled Apart by Horses and Interpol, their taste is nothing if not eclectic. The pair are also big horror film fans which they feel is where their darker, doom-influenced material stems from.
Young Jack

False Advertising
FALSE ADVERTISING are a three-piece noise-pop trio who specialise in drenching the catchiest of hooks in the fizziest of guitar-fuzz. Fusing the best of 90’s alternative rock from both sides of the atlantic and embidying all that is still so vital about raw, energetic live music.
Crooked Weather
“Crooked Weather are out on a limb, where few bands go but Led Zeppelins, Concrete Blondes, Iron Butterflies and Newspaper taxis appear with stunning regularity. They sound interesting, pretty, intelligent, and thoughtful. Think a contemporary Incredible String Band with a 21st century mindset.” – SID GRIFFIN (Bob Dylan biographer/ The Coal Porters)

Emily Moulton & La Bete Blooms
Emily’s music has a purity and innocence that is rare to find. Her songwriting is remarkable and stands shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Laura Marling, Daughter, Feist and many other exciting and original female artists. At such a young age and so new to the scene it is exciting to witness the start of something very special and it couldn’t happen to a nicer person.” – Stewart Baxter – Warren Records

Synergising elements of fabled artists such as Slowdive, Pale Saints and even the Pixies, this young band occupy an all-too-rare position in recognising those touchstones, without ever actually ‘borrowing’ from them.

VOL.2

Brosnan
Brosnan’s fusion of British indie and new wave informs their second-hand pop sound. With Jonny Rodrigues’ bubbly bass hooks, the onrush of raw vocals and melodic guitar riffs by lead singer/guitarist Rory Moses and drummer Jake Haylett’s slick, stomping grooves, they exude wistful overtones reminiscent of influences Pulp and New Order.
Serial Chiller
The name Serial Chiller is an ethos. Cheap beer and shit pizza covers anxieties in grease and foam. Fuck music scenes and their cliques. Stand out. Do something real. Write hooks and stick them through the listeners mouth.
Formed as a duet, their dulcet tones soothed the educated masses of the aptly appointed City of Culture 2017. Partnering up with The Warren, a Hull based youth centre, they recorded their first demos. From this came their single, Bed Mood, released as a part of Three Minute Heroes, a compilation focusing on young people’s mental health.
As if formed from the mould growing on leftover chips and cheese, a bassist was cultivated, turning the band into the perfect love triangle. Shipped off to Amsterdam, they recorded their first EP ‘When It’s Party Time’ in Ijland Studios.
Young Jack
They provide an intergalactic array of sounds that caress the eardrums. Offering fresh & funky rhythms with a smooth and creamy texture, ready to cleanse the mind and take hold of your soul.
Young Jack has gained a stamp of approval from the godfather funk himself George Clinton. They have also received some major love and support courtesy of Craig Charles, on his BBC Radio 2 House Party show.
Joe Russell-Brown
Joe Russell-Brown’s debut EP is a collection of songs created on a cheap microphone and laptop in his grandma’s bungalow. It captures his transition from acoustic songwriter to dream-pop band leader. It’s lo-fi yet anthemic.

Tom Skelly

New Meds
Pounding drums, killer riffs, vocals full of angst. What more do you want ? They blow the roof off of everywhere they play at the moment – BBC Introducing
Modern Mood Swings
Spawning out of Hull’s underground punk scene Modern Mood Swings are the monologue sprawling through your head on a long walk home, put to music. The lyrics analysis the downfalls of modern life and the complexity of human emotions. They manage this through the balancing act of melody and dissonance within their sound. This is their exorcism, their coping strategy. It’s raw, but it’s real. The nostalgic sounds harking back to the 90’s and early 00’s punk, emo, and independent scene -paired with an urgency born from the fresh, DIY landscape of their city.
Jodie Langford
Jodie Langford is a true rising star of the Spoken Word scene – her energetic and vibrant performance was amazing and we loved every minute of it.
Endoflevelbaddie
Endoflevelbaddie is a Hull based producer/DJ/remixer/performer.
When Endoflevelbaddie performs live he is joined by whoever he can wrangle together. Sometimes it’s just Player 2, sometimes, Eyesaw joins in on visuals, sometimes Kev La Kat plays bass, sometimes Raw Beats joins in on drums and sometimes he steals amazing musicians from other bands to level up the whole set!
Expect to hear a mixture of wonky basslines, chunky beats and catchy samples all mashed up in his own inimitable, dance floor filling style all accompanied by slick, eye popping visuals, a ridiculous hype man and other super sick musicians.
Guaranteed to be dancing by the end of the set. Pinky promise.
