Emerging Sounds Presents: Heavy Rock Showcase – Live at The Lock Tavern

Four London bands bring distortion, synths, and full-tilt energy to Camden—alt, classic, and heavy rock, no filler.

Emerging Sounds Presents a heavy rock showcase featuring four London-based bands, each bringing a different edge to the stage. From pounding synths and driving basslines to riff-heavy anthems and raw, unfiltered rock 'n' roll, this is one for the volume-lovers.

🎸 The Sankaras – Classic-meets-modern rock with echoes of Led Zeppelin, The Who, and QOTSA.
🎶 Two Man Lift – Synth-heavy indie with punchy drums, fat basslines, and BBC Introducing recognition.
🔥 As Rome Burns – Big alternative rock bangers from a four-piece built for the live stage.
💥 Sh0tgun – Loud, no-frills rock ‘n’ roll with high-impact delivery and edge.
