Zievi -
New to the scene artist who seeks to provide community, shelter and comfort with their performances. Zievi's music is recognisable for its discussions of self-worth, love, discovery, and acceptance wrapped up in diaristic, raw lyrics and slightly gratuitous nature metaphors. Their debut single 'Wildfire' has received overwhelmingly positive reactions for its heartfelt honesty and 'folk-ish style'. With new music on the horizon for 2025, this isn't an artist to miss.
A Love For Money -
A Love For Money is inspired by the beginning of modern rock. From blues to funk, to hard rock and jazz fusion, we appreciate everything with a good groove. Jesse Leonard on lead guitar, Tom Calver on rhythm guitar, George Roberts on bass and Eva Wayland on vocals and George Eales on drums. Formed at Suffolk New College in 2025, we started as a rock band - discovering our love for an eclectic range of genres and styles. Recently becoming infatuated with jazz fusion. Our name originates from the song ‘For The Love Of Money’ by The O’Jays. The perfect name for a band captivated by the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
Royal Rat Authority:
The Royal Rat Authority is a metal band that is based in Ipswich. The band is formed by a small group of college students looking to go against the standard of music in Ipswich and play the irregular. The lineup consists of Arthur Jackalberry Vjingle on Vocals, Eevee Harbach on Drums, Mazin Dines and Josh Hilton on Guitar and Alex Cooper on Bass. The Royal Rat Authority has yet to do a major performance, but they are confident that their skill and musical prowess will be able to take them far into the music industry.
The Past Life:
Formed at the beginning of 2025, The Past Life are an indie-rock band who showcase a variety of music styles and abilities. We strive off of interesting chord progressions and comprehensive lyricism, while also putting on a show. The band includes Indigo Turnball on lead guitar, Callum Gouck on bass, Arthur Hurley on drums and Lily Kemp on rhythm guitar, vocals and songwriting. With the release of Lily’s second album ‘From A Past Life’ on the horizon, the band will be showcasing new and unreleased music.
