Another class mixed-genre lineup that we are proud to bring to you at The Vic Inn.
Sweet Unrest
‘We value the art above all else. We're here to make tunes that put shivers on your spine and coals under your feet. The music is made for its own sake, not as a means to any kind of end. Frankly, we need to make it to feel ok, and that's why it's all here.
We're fans of poetry, and to us, poetry isn't restricted to words on a page. In fact, language alone is limited. When coloured with music, the meaning of the words can morph and wax, until they articulate feelings we all share, in a way that's impossible with words alone. A lot of our music toes the line between sadness and joy, longing and frustration. At once, they are odes and egregious grieving, because that's what life can be like.
But we also think that a chorus should hit you like a freight train, and send you flying around the room in a fit of chaos and disregard. Really, it's the tension between these two impulses that defines our sound: the impulse to play with the delicate and the sensitive, but also to make a banger that punches you in the face, and is then stuck in your head for days. Our music is a celebration of that madness.’
River Drive
'River Drive are an Alt/Indie Rock band from the East Midlands. They play music with energetic riffs, catchy melodies and plenty of 'Drive'! Live gigs are the heart and soul of the band, you really need to go to a River Drive show to get a true picture of their sound.’
Output
‘An up and coming indie alternative rock band, from Derbyshire, inspired by The Stone Roses, Led Zeppelin, The smiths and many more.’
