**Shallow Honey** are a Brighton-based alt-rock four piece with a diverse sound that fuses rock and pop unapologetically with feminist topics. Loud and quiet, the band steer 'melt your face' guitar riffs mixed with fuzzy driven bass and titan grooves. *https://linktr.ee/Shallowhoney* **Hot Wife** is a no-holds-barred alt-rock band from London, known for their raw energy, 90s influence and tongue-in-cheek lyricism. As overheard in the crowd at Loud Women Festival 2025; “They’re loud, but they’re good”. Think Smashing Pumpkins meets Bikini Kill, with a sprinkle of something else. Formed in 2022, the band’s fierce, genre-blending style pulls from everything: grunge, punk,indie rock and hardcore - creating a high-octane vibe that’s impossible to ignore. *https://linktr.ee/Hotwifemusic* **Charley Stone**, of all-the-bands, returns to the Cav with their own Actual Band. “The Jonathan Richman of their generation” according to at least two audience members, debut album Here Comes The Actual Band was packed with garage-rock riffs and whimsical tales of procrastination and romantic yearning. But what comes next, Viewers? Perhaps a rumination on Plato’s cave? Who can say. *https://linktr.ee/charleston51* **“Like The Dude, Charley Stone abides” - Stewart Lee in The Idler**
