Introducing: Arogya
Despite being the world's second-most populated country - with only the 1.3 billion people - until this point we'd never met a band from India. However, we're delighted to introduce our first-ever Indian band in Assam-based Arogya.

Irish quintet Crown The King were raised on early 2000s pop-punk, and bring all the energy of that classic time period into their own brand of engaging punk rock sound.
Introducing: Not Now Norman
