HOT LIKE SUSHI
Hot Like Sushi are being tipped as one of the hottest bands to come out of Switzerland! There is an electrifying energy around this three-piece band’s live show that has led to a number of labels chasing them around Europe.
The band consists of singer/songwriter and guitarist: Elias Von Arx, who is the brainchild behind the band’s existence, Sam Schwalm,(Drums) and Luka Corman (Keys) Their music can be described as synthy, guitary
power-magic pop-rock with exceptional musicianship.
With their goals firmly set on conquering the shores of the UK and America the band makes a welcome return to the tapestry of the London scene at Discovery.
“Its very tricky in todays crowded market to be a 3 piece band with a unique sound and vibe but Hot Like Sushi have managed it. Tight musicianship and great charisma on stage – is it the Swiss air or something?”
Simon Gurney, BBC Worldwide
"Indie rocker and crazy-haired youngster Elias von Arx proved that his new band Hot Like Sushi is as promising as his former projects and unleashed a guitar-thunderstorm on stage.“ - NOZ
"Electrifying Indie-Rock that elegantly prances from synthie-pop with cheeky guitar solos to crushing rock rhythms -at least as hot as wasabi." - Evensi
ET
Singer/songwriters Ed Tattersall & Alex Williams. Formed in November 2016 the two musicians have spent the last six months recording & filming with songwriter/producer Jamie Petrie. A video EP is soon to be released. From their first performance at the O2 Academy Islington warming the audience for the Irish masters, Hermitage Green & recently playing for Pixie Lotte at her London showcase it is clear the passion of ET is live & direct. With epic sounding songs such as Delicate Mind Ed shows a truly emotive vocal ability along with passionate lead guitar licks played by Alex.

His live performances offers a mix of acoustic vocals, upbeat guitar and often incorporates audience participation. He's currently studying popular music in Cambridge, but when he's not making good use of University studio time he's out gigging as much as possible, often accompanied by acoustic guitarist Will Pears-Cooper.

"I'm loving the vibes of Masta T, especially on his track 'Take It Slow,' it makes you feel like you’re in July or August. Looking outside at the moment it’s pitch black and grey, and where I want to be now is somewhere where there's sun and heat!" - Gareth Lloyd, BBC Introducing.
