FUSE featuring Silverstate, Sura Laynes (duo), and Headgazer

Silverstate

Silverstate is a four-piece indie rock band from Lincolnshire, formed in late 2024. Their sound ranges from heavier, energetic tracks to softer, more melodic compositions, incorporating a mix of modern and classic indie rock influences.

The band was founded by brothers Lloyd and Myles, who had been writing and composing music together for years before officially forming the group. With the addition of two more members - Patrick and Will - Silverstate quickly developed a cohesive style that balances raw intensity with more introspective moments.

Sura Laynes (duo set)

Formed in 2022, Sura Laynes are a 4-piece rock and roll band from Derby, UK. The band's original songs contain strong melodies and lyrics that instantly affect. Clean, crisp guitars and strong vocal harmonies give a nod to the bands that built them, with shades of the La's, The Libertines and The Beatles detectable in their honest, heart on your sleeve sound.

With performances at major UK festivals such as Liverpool Sound City and Ynot Festival, airplay on BBC Music Introducing and Sirius FM and support slots for notable acts such as Britpop legends The Bluetones, Sura Laynes are on the rise.

Headgazer

Headgazer is an alternative rock/experimental shoegaze project formed in Norwich, UK in early 2022, before later relocating to Nottingham in late 2023. The band's sound, explores atmospheric pop melodies alongside harsh experimental ambient textures and drones. Some of their influences consist of artists such as the
Cocteau Twins, Boards of Canada and Elliott Smith.

All bands are on a door split so they get a fair share of ticket sales. By supporting these gigs you are genuinely directly supporting bands. Of course as standard, unlike bigger venues neither us nor The Victoria Inn take commission from any merch sales.
