Midwich Cuckoos are redefining punk rock for the 21st century. Get ready for an explosive infusion of hard rockin’ punk and metal, underpinned by the nostalgic mass appeal of classic rock.

Midwich Cuckoos are a London-based six-piece that is pushing artistic boundaries both in their musical style and their wild and engaging live performances.

They’ve carved out a name for themselves on the live circuit, drawing comparisons to The Distillers, The Bronx and The Offspring.

Their last album, ‘Death or Glory’, is an ambitious and experimental concept album with a narrative that follows a journey of atonement to regain entry to heaven. It’s a heavy-hitting rock album that takes influence from 80s film soundtrack nostalgia and is packed full of sonic experimentation and gorgeous vocal harmonies. The band are now relaunching their new line-up, fronted by soulful singer, Mel Hasan.

Since their inception in 2017 they’ve played killer sets at Camden Rocks, Desertfest, Rebellion and Manchester Punk Festival, and shared stages with the likes of The Bellrays, The Casualties, GBH, The Svetlanas and The Vibrators.

Welcome to Live In The Living Room’s Saturday Night Music Club!

The show is back after 5 years and man have we got an awesome lineup for you!

Defences Formed in early 2014, Defences have been on several UK tours promoting their music to a rapidly growing fanbase. They have toured with Our Hollow, Our Home, Dragged Under and The Raven Age, and shared the stage with acts such as Our Last Night, Mallory Knox, As Lions, Sleepwave and For the Fallen Dreams. This, coupled with festival appearances at Download, Burn It Down and Takedown, has seen the their live support increase dramatically, with the band having multiple sold out headline shows to their name.

“With a well-rounded combination of glitchy synths, technically impressive riffs and piercing vocal refrains, there’s a refreshing sense of individuality running through ‘With Might And Main’ that’s often missing from bands of this ilk.” — ROCKSOUND

SWARM6IX provide a safe space for those that have always appeared anti-social, dormant, and introverted on the surface. The band acquired their unique identity by combining a love for heavy trap and metal music and stand strongly for the freedom of expression within art. SWARM6IX execute a sound somewhere between Ghostemane and Emmure, yet simultaneously evoke nostalgia and familiarity. Adding a sprinkle of modern nu-metal, SWARM6IX have their red beam set to storm the scene with everything they have in their artillery and will not be stopped. Regular support from BBC Radio 1, Loudwire, Metal Hammer, Kerrang and more. Previous shows with Polar, Seething Akira + more.
