More about the bands…

The Ambushed Poets

The Ambushed Poets, a four-piece rock band from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The band started in late 2024 among friends, with a few demos down and some songs ready, the natural progression was to get a band going.

In more recent achievements the band have been playing all over, really cultivating their live show and performance, for the audience. Venues Include: The Robin, Wolverhampton (500+cap), The Exchange, Bristol. The Victoria, Birmingham. The Barfly, Camden & many more. Honing their songs to the best they can be.

Primary songwriter for the band Sam. Has been really focusing on writing. Stripping every back and often writing with just a guitar and a notepad in a smokey basement at 3am. Which creates such an intimacy lyrically with these upcoming songs. As he writes about life emotion and whats seen around him on paper.

2026 see's a new era for the band. With their forth-coming 5 song EP 'Comfort in Carnage'. And a new line up. Its an exciting time.

Cult Trexy

Pulling influence from past music stars such as “Bring Me The Horizon” and “Rage Against The Machine” to create a multi genre sound, the band follows the mantra of anti establishmentarian lyrics which pack a punch and make you wonder “what a world that we live in”
