On The Rise will showcase some of the city’s finest emerging bands at Badlands on Friday 1 October.

The first edition of this event features newly-formed bands as well as acts honing their first EPs, offering them the opportunity to broaden their audience and gain live experience.

Catch indie magic from Sofa, the pop punk sounds of Glimmer (pictured above), beat driven rhythms of Honour Culture, garage vibes of Motel Mary’s, ambient shoegaze of Saint Street (below), the pulsating rhymes of SAIEESH and the low fi beats of Tino Tenda.

Plus there will be sets from Amateur Retreat and Muscle Club, two bands who scored a slot at the gig via a competition run by the station to seek out new talent.
