ForeignWolf / If It Bleeds / R.P.C / O.S.G
ForeignWolf are a four piece hard rock/metal band from Belfast serving up a gratifyingly explosive blend of heavy alt-rock/metal loaded with enticing hooks and monstrous riffs. Formed in 2019 ForeignWolf pour their heart and soul into their craft, and the result is an adrenaline soaked sound that is fiery and punchy, but above all, immensely captivating. Their latest single 'Extinction' was released in 2024. If It Bleeds are a 5 piece hardcore-infused Metal outfit from Belfast Ireland. They are committed to having fun and creating music that is honest and hard hitting. They came together in 2023 through their love of all things heavy and released their debut EP in 2025. R.P.C are a UK-based Irish band consisting of Foz Jager, Jim Spillane and Emmet Hickey. Formed in the midst of the pandemic, the band take influences from modern hardcore, skate punk and crossover thrash. In 2021 the band released their debut EP, "Chop, Drop & Roll", and have since been on an upward trajectory, opening for the likes of Public Serpents as well as headlining a European run of shows of their own. The band have managed to blend their collective influences together to form a chaotic mix of party thrashcore, dealing with serious topics in a tongue-in-cheek manner. R.P.C's sound has been compared to that of D.R.I, Pizzatramp and Ministry, and they are currently working on new music which is due out soon. O.S.G. lie somewhere in between Herbert Hancock and Merzbow. A kind of frenzied, directionless yet hyper-focused noise machine that has (a lot of esoteric appeal babe). FFO: Fugazi, Death Grips, Beastie Boys
