Region’s top emerging bands come to The Hub

A night of the best up-and-coming live music from the Midlands and surrounding areas is coming to The Hub at St Mary’s in Lichfield next month.

Presented by singer-songwriter Alex Ohm, the latest edition of New Sounds on Friday 19 September features Headwired, The Viz and The Vengeance.

Headlining are Headwired, a Midlands based rock trio that infuse melodic guitar riffs with catchy basslines, pounding drums and powerful melodies.

Forming in 2023, the Black Country natives share a love of creating indie/alternative rock songs with a unique edge - perfect for fans of Foo Fighters, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian.

Since the release of their debut single ‘Carousel’, Headwired have wasted no time establishing themselves in the local music scene - supporting artists such as Luka State, Spangled and Camens on their UK tours, as well as performing at established UK festivals like Lakefest alongside The Libertines and Jake Bugg.

Their main support will be The Viz, a four-piece indie rock band from Stafford that has built a growing audience over the past year.

Their sound draws similar comparisons to bands like Arctic Monkeys, The Jam, and other British icons.

The Vengeance will be opening the bill.

The Hub creative director, Anthony Evans said: “We love supporting young bands and Alex has worked his magic again, bringing three more fabulous Midlands bands to The Hub.”

Tickets for the show, at £10 are available online or in person from the venue.
