The O.F.I.Monday Radio Unsigned Artist Of The Week
Sawtega
‘Inherit’ is the third single from South Wales based Sawtega. ‘Inherit’ is the lead single from the debut
EP ‘All Blood Dries’ - due May 2026. ‘Inherit’ is a soaring mix of metal-core melodrama and grunge snarl, made for when you need to scream and let out rage. Think Evanescence meets Julia Wolf with a dose of religious imagery. The song originated from reflections of real
personal experiences growing up alongside religion and beginning to process the generational trauma that has been caused by this. The song comes from memories of processing a deep seated guilt growing up queer under a religious influence.

Twin City
Twin City are quite simply, one of the UK’s most exciting Indie Rock ’n’ Roll bands on the music scene right now having received previous global radio play on the likes of BBC Radio, Radio X with John Kennedy and Sirius XM with Rodney Bingenheimer to gracing big festival stages
at stages such as the Isle of Wight and Truck Festivals as well as repeatedly selling out their own major headline shows.
Everything was on track to see this young band’s trajectory rise into the stratosphere of stardom when tragedy struck at the end of last year following their biggest gig to date for industry tastemakers This Feeling, when the band’s much loved guitarist and brother James suddenly passed away.
The band who are based in Bristol are generally made up of Welsh brothers Louis (Vocals/Guitar) and Toby Ellis (Drums), Conor Feeney (Bass), Pete Refson (Rhythm Guitar).
However for this latest release, the band are showing us a much more raw and vulnerable side to their repertoire as Louis hands the main mic over to Pete to become the lead vocalist.
It’s a definite change of pace for the band who are more widely known for their raucous, high energy tracks that have had packed crowds bouncing off the walls at various festival stages. ‘Carried Away’ in a complete change of direction allows Pete to shine in this very personal and heartfelt track.
The melodious track with its dreamy intro of gently strumming guitars sets the pace, before the wistful twang of the electric guitar kicks in adding a certain weight and depth along with those swinging drum beats that although ever present, do not detract from the emotionally
provocative and poignant lyricism on display.
Twin City were first formed in 2021 and wasted no time in releasing their debut single ‘Shake The Walls’ (August 2021) with an accompanying music video which gained instant traction receiving over 10k views on YouTube in its first week of release.
The band’s second single ‘Looking Glass’ was released in May 2022 and was quickly picked as BBC Uploader’s ‘Big New Sound’ receiving a full week of prime time airplay on BBC radio.
2022 further saw Twin City release their self titled debut EP which contained 4 tracks including the previously mentioned single ‘Looking Glass’ plus 3 other tracks which further sought to build excitement amongst industry peers and fans alike.
Other notable timeline events include Twin City’s debut gig selling out in under 24 hours forcing a venue upgrade which also sold out 24 hours later and the band's second ever gig being as main support to The Lathums in front of a 1000 strong sold out crowd at Bristol's Trinity Centre.
The band released their single - ‘I Feel Alive’ which caught the attention of industry peer and leading figurehead, Rodney Bingehemier on Sirius XM in America.
They followed this up with the single ‘Simple Melody’ which was championed by new music tastemakers This Feeling and John Kennedy on his Radio X radio show.
In early 2025, the band followed up this success with the prophetically titled belter ‘I Saw God’ which once again saw them receiving much praise and places from leading industry figureheads.
With a string of sold out shows, festival appearances (including two separate stages at Isle Of Wight Festival 2024), Truck Festival 2025 and high profile support slots, including shows with The View, Twin Atlantic, The Royston Club, The K's, The Coral, Bilk, The Lightning Seeds,
The Rifles and many more, Twin City played their biggest ever headline show to date with This Feeling at the Bristol Beacon on 4th April 2025 and later on in the year raised the roof on another sell out gig at Burdall’s Yard, Bath in support of the launch of their single ‘Another Day’.
‘Carried Away’ was written collaboratively by Twin City and was recorded at Orchard Studios, Somerset being Produced, Mixed, Mastered by Joe Marsh.
Twin City are upping the ante once again with their next biggest ever headline show at The Fleece in Bristol on Friday 27th March 2026 for This Feeling

The N.S.O
The N.S.O. are a four piece Yorkshire band consisting of Reece Howe on Lead Vocals and Rhythm Guitar, Josh Tallis on Vocals and Lead Guitar, Sam Barton on Bass Guitar and Jordan Watkin on Drums and Percussion.
The band pride themselves on mixing various influences and genres into their work resulting in a sound that is enticingly fresh and exciting. They combine dark and gritty vocals with light hearted melodies making for a winning combo at every turn.
The N.S.O. were first formed in 2022 and they released their debut single in November of the same year; ‘Hurts Instead’. This was followed up in spring 2023 with ‘Up and Down’.
The band have been pretty much gigging extensively ever since including at festivals such as Tramlines, Bunkerfest (Supporting Mark Morris), Doncaster Summer Of Love (Supporting Neville Staple), Be Reyt and Barnsley Live festivals and performing a series of gigs with new music taste makers This Feeling selling out numerous headline gigs.
Following on from the release of their single “Do Ya” which attained the band praise and play by John Kennedy on his Radio X Show, The N.S.O. then went on to gain themselves a lot more fans by virtue of winning the £1000 cash prize in a battle of the bands competition. To date they
have also amassed in the region of 50k streams across DSP.
Fronted by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Josh Tallis, the band delivers a powerful and infectious sound. With tens of thousands of streams on Spotify, a growing national presence, and their debut EP ‘The Illusion Of Happiness’ dropping this summer, The N.S.O. are proving they’re not
just another indie band—they’re a fresh, uncompromising voice in the modern UK rock landscape
Following the release of their fast paced, exhilarating anthem ‘Sunday Club’ in November 2025, and their first single of 2026 ‘Release Me’ which saw much praise and plays across the globe, especially in America, the band are now playing their hat trick with the release of “Counsellors Call”.
‘Counsellors Call’ is filled with jangly guitars, swinging drum beats and fast paced catchy lyricism making for an instantly memorable absolute earworm of a tune. It’s got a hint of the swinging 60’s matched with some undeniable 90’s swagger - the ultimate combo!
The band have said of the track:
“Counsellors Call is a conversation with yourself, your partner, your boss, your friends or your ‘counsellor’. It's realisation and contradiction in one, to a familiar rhythm in a humorous way, just like life itself.”
‘Counsellors Call’ was written by Josh Tallis and Reece Howe. It was recorded at West Homesick Recording Studios and was Mixed/ Mastered/Produced by Federico Telesca.

Wolverhampton band Bridge 55 are set to release their debut single, Auditorial Flowers, on 28th March, marking an exciting chapter for the band. After announcing their homecoming reunion show at Wolverhampton Arts Centre on 3rd October 2026, the song is already receiving significant
radio play and strong feedback from across the UK, the track will soon be available to listeners everywhere via all streaming platforms.
Auditorial Flowers explores the emotional tension of attempting to build a relationship that is never truly reciprocated. Blending ambient textures with flowing melodies and jagged emotional edges, the song balances moments of warmth and fun with an undercurrent of heartache and depth.
Recorded at RML Studios in Wolverhampton and produced and engineered by Ryan Pinson, the track has already caught the attention of a range of industry professionals. Many have praised its ability to move listeners between contrasting emotional spaces — offering calm and reflection in one
moment, while the lyrics subtly introduce feelings of discomfort and reluctance in the next.
At its core, Auditorial Flowers is an experience as much as it is a song. It invites listeners to connect with its emotional landscape and perhaps recognise something of their own story within it.
When it arrives on 28th March, Bridge 55’s debut single promises to be a compelling milestone for a band with both feeling and atmosphere at the heart of their sound.
Let your heart — and your ears — have it.
Release Date: 28 March
Artist: Bridge 55
Single: Auditorial Flowers

The Utopiates’ long-awaited second album ‘Let’s Make This Happen’ is finally out on the 12 March.
The album launch follows a very successful 2025.
The band’s album promotion includes massive headline shows in their two main, musical bases of
Leeds and London. Tickets are already flying out and, like the album release, the gigs are a DIY
promotion.
2026 looks to be the year The Utopiates finally break out. Having landed spot plays
from two mainstream radio legends, in Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy, on every
track released in 2025 (Neighbourhood, Reputation, Evanescent, Montezuma, Lost My
Groove) they are looking to carry this momentum into the album launch in March.
Singer, Dan, says of the album and lead track ‘The Path’
‘Let’s Make This Happen’ has been a labor of love, 100%. The Utopiates’ short history is one of
early successes and subsequent struggles behind the scenes. We came flying out the gates, back in
2021, with ‘Only Human’ and those other bedroom demos that people loved so much and quickly
got signed to V2. The first record (The Sun Also Rises) didn’t make us rich and famous like we’d
expected, and after a couple of band exits (Luke and Ed) it was a struggle to get back to that well-
oiled groove machine we’d become. The first sessions for this album started back in early 2024, so it feels amazing to get the final thing out and heard. Finally!!
We’re so blessed to be back doing it as a 4-piece now Danny (Cubitt) is involved, we’re still
recording it all with Andy Hawkins at The Nave in Leeds (Yard Act, Working Men’s Club) and we’re
really honing our sound. From the outset we said we wanted to make a different record than the
first and we made some calls to strip it all back, less guitars (mainly mine) and no solo’s! A bold
move when you’ve got a guitarist as great as Josh (Redding) clearly is. But we wanted to try
something a little more in line with our post-punk counterparts and influences. Although we still
have that New Order influence, I think we sound less Manchester this time out and we were
certainly mentioning acts like LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads and Gang Of Four. Less baggy,
more punk-funk but certainly still us. We want to keep making people move as it translates so well
to our live shows and I’m proud of the fact we sound good loud..
Saying that we still love to mix it up and the New-Wave influence on our lead track ‘The Path’ is
undeniable. It’s a bold, hard-hitting indie dance track that borrows its sound from legends like
New Order and Depeche Mode. We wanted to keep adding darker themes and storylines (like Lost
My Groove, Insomnia) to some of the new loops and grooves we’ve been making recently and the
track is about being granted a wish to live either your past, present or future, and the strength it
takes to keep on at your dreams and passions. Very apt right now! We think it’s a banger anyway,as per.

On Our Playlist
Formerly living in The Netherlands and now domiciled in Co. Cork,Ireland, Brian O’Glanby carries forward a tradition of powerful,anthemic songwriting with “The Deep Hour”.
A gifted songsmith known for his distinctive vocals, sometimes referred to as
a Celtic Guy Garvey, with his gritty style of indie with a twist of soul and
intricate instrumental arranging, O’Glanby has woven a unique sonic tapestry
that has captivated audiences across his twenty-plus years as an artist.
With a penchant for storytelling, O’Glanby’s heartfelt narratives are inspired
from personal experiences and the human condition. This ethos warmly
transitions to his latest venture - The Deep Hour - with a forthcoming album that draws from introspection, vulnerability and conviction.
Releasing the debut single, ‘The One’ in late 2025, a heart-on-sleeve track
serving as a timely prayer for change in unsettled times and a plea for unity in
our fractured world, the single earned an iTunes No.1 position in both the
main Irish charts and iTunes Rock Charts, garnering support from Red FM,
V13, Broken 8, Amazing Radio, The Sound Lab UK and more, announcing The
Deep Hour to a highly expectant 2026 audience.
The second instalment from The Deep Hour, ‘Hurricane’, releasing February
20th, carries forward the authenticity, and raw delivery that have come to
define O’Glanby’s work. Entrenched in heartfelt melody, ‘Hurricane’ delivers a
very personal narrative of true accounts, hitting home the devastating and unvoiced struggles of domestic violence.
‘Hurricane’ features an extraordinary performance from acclaimed guitarist
Gerry Leonard - the force behind David Bowie, Suzanne Vega, Rufus
Wainwright, Laurie Anderson, Duncan Sheik, Hinterland and his own solo
project, Spooky Ghost. It also features the exceptional bass guitarist Robbie
Malone - another icon known for his highly acclaimed, longtime work with
David Gray, The Corrs and Hothouse Flowers, to name but a few.
O’Glanby, who is the force behind The Deep Hour, has recently completed his
album which will be released later this year. The album, titled “Through Your
Eyes”, was produced by international musician Wayne P. Sheehy, in his Ocean
Studios Ireland on the shores of Bantry Bay.
The album features contributions from some outstanding musicians; Gerry Leonard, Robbie Malone, Trevor Hutchinson, Lisa Lambe, Paul Linehan, Catriona Fallon and more - where the
resulting work fully reflects O’Glanby’s life views, highlighting his creativity and spirit, qualities which have sustained him through the highs and lows of the music industry since the 1990s.
Bound with timelessness, grace, and integrity, ‘Hurricane’ cements The Deep
Hour as a bold new phase of O’Glanby’s career, reaffirming his place as a storyteller whose voice resonates across generations.
