Line Up

Original Indie Pop Band from East Sussex, UK.

“Wild Horse, The most prolific trio coming out of the South, from Burwash bringing some 60s flavour to their stomping brand of rock.” BBC INTORDUCING

Championed by BBC Introducing, RadioX and critics globally, Wild Horse are prodigious in every way. Jack Baldwin (19), older brother Henry Baldwin (22) and friend Ed Barnes (21) on drums gel together flawlessly to form irresistibly catchy indie rock, always uniquely infused with their diverse tastes.

Wild Horse cover all bases - incorporating pop, classic rock, punky reggae, blue-eyed soul, dirty funk, rap, Latin and so much more into their distinctive sound - truly their own brand of indie.

Lyricist Jack takes inspiration from daily life, relationships, and (naturally) the experiences of being a politically charged Gen Z-er living in a chaotic social and political landscape. With an extremely mature song writing style far beyond their years, Wild Horse continue to excite, engage and captivate their ever-growing audience with each release.

The East Sussex boys are renowned for an exciting, powerful stage show, having honed their craft from an early age at all the iconic venues in London & the Southeast as well as several festivals, often playing the same stages as many of their heroes once did. Henry & Jack both take turns on Guitar, Bass & Keyboards from track to track, occasionally Henry may add some stunning Harmonica & always Ed is keeping everything in time with his superb drumming, all 3 add their voices to excellent vocal arrangements. The reviews or their songs have been brilliant and extensively played on many radio stations worldwide. Their tracks & albums are available on all major platforms.

With 4 full albums already released, they never cease creating more songs taking in influences from everywhere. Their 5th album, now complete & due for release in November, is a collection of 18 original genre defying songs reflecting on growing up in the modern world, relationships, addiction, mental health struggles and the long journey towards self-acceptance and self-love. It incorporates, Pop, Soul, R&B and the influences of many genres are evident throughout. The entire album was produced by the band itself & mixed by Al Scott, a partnership that worked exceptionally well, allowing the band a new creative freedom.

Three tracks were released as singles throughout the summer & autumn, “Record Collection”, “Freaky Together” & ” Symphony of Broken Hearts” each gaining on the success of the previous, breaking Wild Horse’s Streaming numbers & all receiving extensive airplay including BBC Intros plus other BBC local show, RadioX, Caroline and many other local FM & internet stations around the world. Wild Horse understand the meaning of hard work & are already writing new material as well as rehearsing & playing live shows where they always give 100% ensuring Maximum Entertainment.

• Two Brothers as Front Men. • Formed for over 6 years & released 5 Albums & 3 EP’s. • Average Band Member age still 21 years old. • Regularly appear on BBC Introducing • Biggest Influences – Rolling Stones, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Hendrix, Arctic Monkeys, The Hives.

Wake Up Leo is the brainchild of songwriter Leo Ulph supported by his band.

The tracks come with big choruses and satire on modern life and love, almost as if The Cure had joined Arcade Fire and then had a love child with The Killers.

The music is written as a commentary of modern life. (there's quite a lot going on to sing about these days) and the shows offer something quite a bit different; including film samples between songs and interaction. It's all accessible, but it's very definitely designed to make you think.

Recent gigs have included supporting Indie legends 'Space' at the Tunbridge Wells Forum. I have also performed at Livestock Festival in Gloucestershire with 'Reverent and The Makers' and The Frattellis and headline supported REEF on the Friday night.
