10 electrifying bands to watch at 2000trees, as picked by booker James Scarlett
2000trees booker James Scarlett shares his 10 top picks for 2025 – from proggy hardcore to arty noise to banging punk-rock…
Listen to VOWER’s new single Deadweight, ahead of the band’s summer festival appearances at the likes of Download and 2000trees.
Following last year’s debut EP apricity, VOWER have just unveiled a brand-new single called Deadweight.
The track arrives ahead of a big summer for the quintet – Rabea Massaad, Joe Gosney, Liam Kearley, Josh McKeown and Rory McLean – including appearances at Download Festival, 2000trees and ArcTangent.
Speaking about bringing Deadweight to life, VOWER say: “Despite its energetic creation, the track explores self-sabotage and the cycle of holding yourself back. By channelling these feelings into music, we aim to release their weight, avoiding the traps we write about.”
