Next Day Shakes

Next Day Shakes are a four-piece rock band fusing shed rock, blues and alternative grit. Driven by thunderous riffs, pounding drums, and raw, blues-soaked vocals, they create a wall of sound that hits hard and leaves hooks you can’t shake off!

Strange Orchid

Strange Orchid was reborn in 2024, after years of being a recording project for multi-instrumentalist and producer Lee Shears. 2025 saw Strange Orchid complete a series of live shows across South Wales, as well as a string of releases: “The Strange Orchid EP” (July 2025), “In The Deep End” (December 2025), and “Shape” (March 2026).

Now expanded into a power trio, Strange Orchid blends fuzz guitars, dreamy mellotrons, grooving drums, melodic bass, and layered harmonies. The music draws from The Flaming Lips, The Arcs, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and Motown. Balancing dreamy soundscapes with power-pop hooks, Strange Orchid creates an immersive experience — an analogue world warping within a digital age.

“Sounds like if Wings hired Dr Who as their producer. I'm all for it.” – RCD Audio

“Strange Orchid write perfect kaleidoscope pop. It’s very easy to get lost in their super-infectious melodies and colourful arrangements. Proper forward-looking songwriting. Don’t sleep on them!” - Daniel Ash (Teenage Waitress, Blackstar Records)
