Big shout out to Phil Weller for filling in for us on guitar!

"Hounds, Kill The King and Masquerade have twisted hooks that stay for days and with their debut album due to be released shortly, the future of music is about to become a lot more interesting."

Full review of the Sunday on Metal Talk​

'this “wild card” band was one of the highlights of the weekend due to their ability to navigate through different styles, tempos and themes.'

Sunday review on My Global Mind

"They galvanise the early-afternoon crowd with some powerful music and show why they were recently voted ‘best unsigned band’ by Prog Magazine."

Review on Ramzine.co.uk

"The set began with the menacingly heavy Hounds and although Lucy may be petite, she had a big voice with a big stage personality."

Full review on Emerging Rock Bands

'Their sound is another hard to categorise with several influences ranging from prog to the ska-pop of No Doubt, but it was their closing song ‘Masquerade’ that made the most impact on me.'

Kill The King Review - Loud Women

2026

Our latest release, the first in a good while and one of two leading up to our debut album, was picked up by Loud Women who gave us an awesome review! 

"At its core, ‘Kill the King’ is pure, high-octane progressive rock with a hard rock soul. The influence of Rush is clear to see, particularly in the way the song is put together and how it keeps pushing forward without letting up."

Bloodstock Open Air

2023

Bloodstock '23 was a huge milestone for us, after fighting our way through M2TM to get there, seeing the New Blood stage full of people all getting behind us was just awesome. To top it off, our Lucy won the ESP competition of best guitarist of the day! One gig we'll never forget. Coverage of Bloodstock in the links below..

Metal 2 The Masses

2023

M2TM was such a big achievement for us, and such a difficult competition! Upping our game in every heat, Mike having joined the band to be thrown directly into the competition for his trial by fire, making it through to Bloodstock was a tall order. But we did it! Here's what people had to say;
