Sunlifter + Marla + SOB

Sunlifter

Sunlifter are a 3 piece alternative rock/shoegaze band based in Brighton. Formed in 2024, they have played up and down the country, headlining numerous sold out venues. In 2025, they released the standalone single 'Itch', with their debut EP set to release in the summer of 2026. Their sound is a dynamic mix of heavy riffs and intricate, yet ambient chord progressions.

Marla

Marla are a 4 piece Post hardcore/Emo/Shoegaze band from Leicestershire but based in Brighton. Having only recently formed in 2025 Marla have found their place in the Brighton scene, putting on DIY shows and supporting local promoters and bands. Their sound blends many styles/genres creating a dynamically unique set.

Symptoms of Balf

Symptoms of Balf is a 4 piece sludgey post hardcore clusterfuck based in Brighton and crash landing at the prince albert for their debut appearance on September the 8th. S.O.B brings Belligerently bombastic riffs and nonsensical Emo sentiments to create a simulacrum of every band on Kerrang on the early 2000s.
