Another stacked night of fresh local talent! This one’s bringing serious early‑2000s alt‑rock energy, grunge grit and brand‑new sounds from across Herts.

🎸 WaxBoy
A rising alt‑rock four‑piece, channelling Wunderhorse, Nirvana and Radiohead with raw riffs and introspective lyrics.

Plus a killer lineup of local acts:
Cursed Victim • Scarz • Coven • Layzo

If you’re into discovering new bands before they blow up — this is your night. Cheap tickets, loud rooms, big vibes.
