MLEKO
This year has been a memorable one for MLEKO.
Along with signing to indie label Heist or Hit and playing numerous dynamic live shows across the UK, the seven-piece released their debut single ‘Gub Rock’.
With their post-everything sound and inventive arrangements, 2026 looks set to be an even bigger year for the Manchester-based band.

CONCRETE CLUB
Manchester boys, Concrete Club have really stepped up this year, they had several singles out and had a massive experience playing the Albert Hall in Manchester too, a right of passage for many Mancunian bands.
They have a brilliant attitude and ethic in a tough industry, we always enjoy having them on playing RGM live shows and look forward to what they have in store for us in 2026…

JONNY BLADE
Jonny Blade has certainly been turning heads, particularly our boss Carl!
His rendition of Starman went viral, celebrating Sheffield United player George Baldock’s life.
Jonny Blade embarked on a music career with a charming presence and a mission to tell stories.
He has secured some major support slots, including The Lottery Winners and The Clause.
He’s a top lad and we appreciate him.

THE OUTCHARMS
The rising stars of Doncaster, what a year they’ve had, pulling in some impressive listening figures for this year, as well as playing some cracking venues, gaining some brilliant support slots and releasing new music, as well as playing some decent festivals and going on a successful headline tour of their own.

GIRLBAND
What a year they’ve had!
From an impressive catalogue of festival performances to gigs and fresh music, Girlband are something to be admired.
Seeing them at Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus in Sheffield this year, it’s easy to see why they have a growing following, they look like they’re having a great time, the ooze confidence and have some cracking tracks.
They have a tour on until early February 2026, been hand-picked by This Feeling for Bridlington by the Sea and even got a tattoo with Bella Ramsey?! (Yes really!).
They’re also grafting away and putting themselves out there on social media, it’s incredible and they deserve recognition and progress, go and check them out!

THE OTHERNESS
All the way from Argentina, these lads are relentless, they moved to Germany to build a base in Europe and push on with their music career, they are fascinating people with a drive you don’t see very often to make things happen.
We at RGM HQ are hoping they tour in the UK again soon and look forward to what they have up their sleeves in 2026, because they will have something..

HUNGRY
They really do keep going from strength to strength, this year they released their debut EP “‘Are You The Best Yet?”, as well as popping up at venues across the UK, plus some festivals like Humber Street Sesh, speaking of which, their live shows are something to behold, so if you don’t know, get to know!
Their sense of humour is incredibly dry and creative, which reflects in their music video efforts and social media posts, we feel at RGM HQ that big things are coming and we’re Hungry for it…

THE MOON LANDINGZ
After releasing No Rocket Required in April, the long-awaited follow-up to their 2017 debut, The Moonlandingz reminded everyone just how much their gut-wrenching lyrics and twisted genius have been missed.
Fronted by Lias Saoudi of Fat White Family fame, the band have proven that even after 8 years away, they remain as riotous and compelling as ever.
