Hivemind are a 4 piece rock band from Sunderland, UK. Having travelled around the country supporting bands such as The LaFontaines, My Vitriol, Fangclub, Dead!, Airways, Shaun Ryder, and Fearless Vampire Killers, Hivemind have secured a close knit community of fans. Supported by BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 6 & Amazing Radio, Hivemind were hand picked by BBC Introducing to play This Is Tomorrow festival in Newcastle and had their song Knees & Toes added to the 'Best of 2019' BBC Introducing playlist.

Before the Coronavirus outbreak, Hivemind played a sold out show at Head of Steam, Newcastle and were preparing for their summer festival slots including headlining Afterlight Festival at The Cluny, Newcastle. In July 2022, Hivemind played a hometown sell out show at Independent, Sunderland to critical acclaim. Hivemind have also made numerous appearances on local radio, and national television, most notably alongside comedian and drummer Al Murray.

>> ABNORM <<

Progressive, rebellious and iconic Abnorm release songs that are bold, unapologetic, loud, and gritty: everything a young Ab was told not to be.

Abbie started a project which transforms her accumulated rage into tasteful rock music that packs attitude. The Newcastle-based band have been played on BBC Radio 6 and have just released their newest single Red Lines – available to stream now.
