Hideous Dress.

The story of Hideous Dress didn’t begin on stage but in a small bedroom, where frontman Jordan Billany started posting grunge covers online in early 2024.What began as raw, intimate performances soon snowballed into a full band project, fuelled by fans who wanted more than just covers. Within their first year, they’d already hit 16,000 followers, proof that their blend of scrappy charm and sharp-edged energy was striking a chord well beyond their bedroom walls.

But Hideous Dress isn’t just an online story, it’s stitched together from real-life moments. Jordan first met bassist Kat Engbrecht when they were both working in a clothing store, bonding over a notoriously ugly dress that, for some reason, customers couldn’t get enough of. That dress became their in-joke, a symbol of everything they thought was wrong with the shop’s fashion sense. Jordan ended up keeping it, and now, every so often, he pulls it back out to wear on stage, a tongue-in-cheek reminder of where it all began. The rest of the lineup came together just as unpredictably: Jordan literally spotted his guitarist and drummer, Cade Tuffin and Damien Dalby, while out shopping on two seperate occasions. He instantly pegged what instruments they played and offered them a spot in the band on the spot. It’s the kind of chaotic origin story that feels almost too good to be true, but it’s exactly the energy that defines Hideous Dress.

Glass Delusion

Glass Delusion are a London-based, female-fronted indie rock band. Blending gritty, blues-inspired guitar lines with theatrically haunting vocals, they channel the female rage of the riot grrrl movement through a fresh, modern lens. Their music is equal parts raw and reflective, exploring the beautiful contradictions of being human: fragile but unbroken, loud but intimate.

Their debut single ‘Can’t Shake the thought’ embodies paranoia. It follows the tale of a woman driven to the edge by gaslighting, haunted by the lingering feeling that something is wrong.

Creeping Embers

Formed in May 2004, Creeping Embers are an all queer, trans, and disabled fronted, genre hopping punk band from Brighton. Loud, chaotic, and slightly unhinged, Creeping Embers combine rumbling bass tones, erratic drum beats and biting vocals to create an experience you won’t forget! With grimly theatrical visuals and atmospheric stage performances, Creeping Embers twist the standard idea of live performance to create something that is sure to remain etched in your memory.

The bands lyrics focus on a wide variety of topics such as social injustice, LGBTQ+  rights, living with disabilities, getting a little bit too drunk and accidentally ending up on stage and more.

Comparable to bands such as Cheap Perfume, Destroy Boys,The Oozes, Amyl and the Sniffers, Petrol Girls, The Cure and The Buzzcocks, Creeping Embers take influence from a variety of genres including punk, post punk, queercore, grunge, funk, folk, alternative rock and gothic rock, then smush it all together to create their own sound ideal for both fans of the bands and new comers to the genres.
