Our FLASH gigs bring you hot emerging talent from around the UK - the artists you'll see on festival stages and supporting bigger names, the artists starting to get radio play and magazine articles, the artists that in a few years might well be costing you a LOT more to see...
FloodHounds
Known for their blasts of stomping fuzzed-up guitar, savage riffs, hook-heavy choruses and wild rhythmic drums, South Yorkshires FloodHounds deliver tight rabble-rousing live shows. Lyrically catchy, the Indie rock trios punk-infused, darkly melodic tunes, stay with you long after the gig.
FloodHounds have opened for Kid Kapichi, The Family Rain, The Blinders, PINS, Projector, King Nun, Strange Bones, and Calva Louise across the UK, as well as headlining their own shows and hitting the festival circuit with Tramlines (BBC Introducing slot winners), Y-Not, Isle of Wight, Brighton Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Live at Leeds & more. This momentum has extended beyond UK shores, with successful performances in Paris at iconic venues Supersonic and Le Truskel.
FloodHounds have received repeat spins on BBCintroducing, numerous blog "Track of The Week" spots, and they landed coveted editorial playlists Apple Music's All New Rock and Amazon Music's Breakthrough Rock.
Recent highlights include a Japanese film crew independently creating their own music video for 'Quicksand,' capping a year of headline shows and summer festivals, including Y-Not. 2025 began with the release of an animated video for 'Near-Life Experience' by VFX artist Grainfreeze (Oasis, Noel Gallagher) plus new single One Horse Race. The next two singles are already due for release later this year.
Glass Bridges
Glass Bridges are a four-piece, female-fronted, alternative rock band. Their music blends punchy riffs with evocative vocals, creating a sound that is unique in its emotionality.
Residing in the south of the U.K., the band intend to share a message of self-actualisation, championing the determination to embody our most authentic selves- in a world that so often preaches the opposite.
With 9 tracks under their belt and over 1.5 million cumulative streams, Glass Bridges have risen quickly and not so quietly. Receiving national airplay through BBC radio 1 on multiple tracks, as well as numerous spins on Planet Rock, the ever growing footprint of the band continues to build momentum.
Live shows are a particular strong point for Glass Bridges, with fans coming for the music and leaving both exhilarated and exhausted by the outrageously high energy. Each show is as memorable as it is mesmerising, with some fans travelling hours across the country just to get another taste. The band, intent on fostering community, are incredibly grateful for the support theyve received so far, including multiple sold out headline shows in London, Guildford, Bristol and more.
