A day of Heavy Psych, Doom, freak out rock and more With none other than San Fran/ North Californian psych/wig-out Legends Carlton Melton headlining and loads of delicious acts all day at Daltons Beach bar.
Carlton Melton: One of the most interesting things about Carlton Melton’s music is that it is split in two. On each album, from debut Country Ways onward, there lives a restless conflict between different approaches: the experimental, the avant-garde and the improvisatory jostles for space with some of the more conventional tropes of heavy rock such as bludgeoning riffs and structured songwriting. Https://meltoncarlton.bandcamp.com/
GURT: The drums are thunderous, the vocals demonic and the guitars down-tuned, down-tempo and down-right sexy. This is not doom, this is not sludge, THIS IS GURT! Https://gurt.bandcamp.com/album/survival-of-the-shittest-2
Kulk: (Noise Rock/Punk Noise) who have previously put out albums on Human Worth are gearing up for their new release, out on Church Road Records in Aug. Https://kulk.bandcamp.com/album/choosing-to-die
Cabiria: Instrumental and eclectic, Cabiria move effortlessly from post-rock soundscapes, monster doom riffs and stoner groove, through choppy, math puzzles and prog-rock journeyings. The London-based trio are pleased to announce their return with a new studio album, due for release in September 2024 via Drongo Records. Https://cabiriaofficial.bandcamp.com/
Monovoid: Monovoid deliver a visceral mix of modern metal styles, bringing together elements of thrash, death, sludge and prog metal to create an uncompromising sonic assault.
They have worked with Wayne Adams (Pet Brick, Big Lad) of Bear Bites Horse Studios in London to produce their debut single 'Immense Collapse' and a forthcoming debut album 'Dissolving The Brain' releasing in Summer 2026. Https://monovoiduk.bandcamp.com/track/ruinous-belief-2

London sludge veterans with fifteen years of riffs behind them and a bloodstock appearance to their name. The sound is down-tuned and down-tempo, thunderous drums under bellowed vocals, with song titles built for the pun. The 'survival of the shittest' ep followed in 2026.
“This is not doom, this is not sludge, THIS IS GURT!”

Norwich two-piece signed to church road records, with radio support from steve lamacq on bbc 6 music and press from metal hammer. Guitar, drums and synth stacked into slow, filthy noise rock that grinds between sludge weight and psychedelic haze. The album 'choosing to die' lands in august 2026.

Brighton trio who reached the regional final of bloodstock's metal 2 the masses and cut their records with wayne adams at bear bites horse studios in london. Thrash speed and death metal bite welded onto sludge weight and longer progressive structures. A run of singles through 2026 leads up to debut album 'dissolving the brain'.
