Leeds, GB · 2007–present · active
Leeds trio Dinosaur Pile-Up have been delivering massive, fuzz-drenched alternative rock since forming in 2007, channeling the spirit of Pixies, Weezer, and Nirvana through walls of distortion. Frontman Matt Sherring's gift for melody shines through the noise on albums like 'Celebrity Mansions' and 'Growing Pains,' which pair pop hooks with grunge-weight heaviness. Their music became ubiquitous in action sports media and video games, bringing their anthemic sound to a wide audience.

Diogenes BCE plays melodic death/sludge metal from Holmestrand, formed in 2022 and named after the ancient Greek cynic philosopher.
