NMG Presents: Bayou, Good Health, Myopia, BLANKTALK

BAYOU
Bayou is four people in a band.
Bayou is an old friend you haven’t seen for years.
Bayou is guitar music.
Bayou is garage-indie having a love affair with alt-rock.
Bayou is dancing in a crowd in a dark room.
Bayou is happy songs.
Bayou is sad songs.
Bayou is sitting in a living room with your mates at 1am.
Bayou is an intense, beating heart.
Bayou is jumping into a river on a sunny day.
Bayou is drinking in a park with friends on a Thursday afternoon.
Bayou is for us.
Bayou, is for you.

(Bayou is a Norwich based quartet, fusing garage-indie with alt-rock. Familiar faces from previous projects blend fresh, energetic vibes with contemporary sounds, cut with raw guitar riffs and vocal lines. For fans of “if Jamie-T fronted Pinegrove on an alt-rock bender”)

Good Health

Good Health are a Six-piece post-punk Alt-Rock band renowned for their gritty, poetic sound and raw energy. They’re quickly gaining attention being lauded for their visceral lyrics and driving rhythms.

Taking inspiration from the likes of Viagra Boys, Fontaines D.C., and shame, Good Health are fronted by a charismatic frontman who’s lead vocals are striking against the bands jagged guitars, pulsating bass-lines, and hard-hitting drums to create a sound that's both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

Becoming well known for their electrifying live performances, Good Health captivates audiences with their intense stage presence and powerful delivery. With a loyal and growing fanbase, they continue to push the boundaries of the post-punk and Alt-Rock genre.

Myopia

Genre-defying alternative rock band Myopia, with influences including Muse, Radiohead and Keane are made up of Frontman Oliie Edgington and Drummer Elliot Hawkins.

They have already released two studio albums, with a third in production ready for release throughout 2026, and their most successful album to date, “Mind Party” released in August 2024, won them their first two music awards including NMGs Rock artist of the Year.
