The Amber Squad + The Sleepers + The XLNTs

THE AMBER SQUAD

The Amber Squad bring vibrant, high-energy power-pop and pub-rock shaped since the late ’70s. Their debut single, boosted by John Peel, launched them onto stages across the UK. Reuniting in 2015, they’ve continued to impress at top venues at home and abroad. With original members still driving the sound, The Amber Squad deliver catchy melodies, tight performances and an enduring, feel-good musical punch.

THE SLEEPERS

The Sleepers return to the stage with the energy that made them one of the most exciting underground bands to emerge from the late ‘70s punk scene. Formed in 1979, the band first made their mark with the cult-favourite Angel in a Raincoat EP, gaining national attention and airplay from John Peel. Their melodic, hard-hitting sound led to support slots with the Skids and Cockney Rejects and cemented their reputation across the UK and Europe.

Revived decades later after a Berlin band covered their debut single, The Sleepers hit the stage once again to packed rooms and an international fanbase. Recent releases on Queen Mum Records and a successful 2025 run have reignited demand for their powerful live shows.

The XLNTS

Brighton-based trio The XLNTs are quickly building a name for themselves on the Mod and Ska scene with their energetic performances and distinctive sound. Inspired by legendary bands including The Small Faces, The Clash and The Specials they feature Aiden on guitar and vocals, Billy on bass and Jack on drums. The band have earned a reputation for lively performances and plenty of personality.

Since forming, they’ve built a following through their electrifying live shows and unforgettable songs, earning opportunities to support established acts including Buster Shuffle, The Chords UK and Death of Guitar Pop. They’ve also caught the attention of The Libertines, an encouraging milestone for a band still in the early stages of their journey.

Just over a year after getting together, The XLNTs released their debut album in late 2025, marking an impressive first chapter for the band. They continue to keep that momentum going with new music, including an acoustic version of their single “This Town Is Mine”, released on 1st August 2026, followed by their five-track acoustic EP, “The Acoustic Tracks”, on the 29th. August 2026.

Whether you’re already a fan of Mod and Ska or discovering the genre for the first time, The XLNTs are a band that know how to put on an entertaining live show.
