Nose Ghost is a four-piece punk and indie rock project that delivers fuzz-driven, high energy riffs. With scratchy vocals, crunchy guitars and the occasional harmonica, they boast a sound that is both nostalgic and a breath of fresh air. Their goal on stage is to get the crowds moshing and moving.

Burntwood

Evoking Wilco, Pixies and The Replacements, big melodies lie at the heart of the songs. With songwriting shared between Chris Hornsby (Lead vocals & guitar), Simon Shippey (vocals, guitar & keys) and Tim Thackray (vocals, bass), there’s an eclectic energy to their output, which flexes from raucous 3-minute numbers to more expansive explorations. Completed by drummer John Singh, Burntwood has shaped their live set in the past 12 months.
