6 Cool Up & Coming UK Rock Bands
The Holloways are the latest addition to the british capital’s fast-rising list of young meteors to look out for. The band consists of Alfie Jackson, Rob Skipper, Bryn Fowler and Dave Danger. Showcasing their unique upbeat brand of poptastic indie rock, they certainly stand out from the crowd with a reputation for excellent live performances.

The Pigeon Detectives are a five piece indie rock band from Rothwell, Leeds with influences such as The Beatles, The Kinks and The Velvet Underground.
