Atomic Flame < Back Atomic Flame is a heavy metal band that was formed in 2022, rising from the ashes of other bands and the chaos of CoVid 19. The band comprises of four members, Lawrence Baldacchino, Nigel Buttigieg, Charles Buttigieg, and Marco Mule. In 2021, Lawrence Baldacchino, an experienced drummer, and Campos Gellel, a talented guitarist, met up to jam with the intention of forming a heavy metal band after their previous stints in bands like Fire and 12th Ode for Lawrence and Angelcrypt and Blind Saviour for Campos. The demise of Noogie's Crew in October 2021 provided an opportunity for Lawrence to approach Nigel "Noogie" Buttigieg, who accepted the invitation. With the band still incomplete, the search was on for a bassist, and in December 2021, Charles Buttigieg joined the band. Charles brought with him the lyrical talent that completed the band's musical ideas and formed them into songs. In July 2022, Campos Gellel left the band, leading to the band being renamed as Atomic Flame. The band quickly found a replacement in the form of Marco Mule, who hails from Sicily and has experience playing with bands such as Ricercados. On January 21st, 2023, Atomic Flame made their debut at The Garage in Zebbug, playing to a sell-out crowd of enthusiastic fans who came to witness these talented musicians back on stage. In 2024, Mule had to leave the band for personal reasons the Atomic Flame quickly found a new guitaris in James Galea, who was absent from the scene for around 10 years. On 20th September 2025 the band released their debut album 'Heavenly Punishment' Band Members James Galea Guitarist James Galea Nigel 'Noogie' Buttigieg Vocals, Guitars Nigel 'Noogie' Buttigieg Marco Mulè Guitars Marco Mulè Lawrence Baldacchino Drums Lawrence Baldacchino Charles Buttigieg Bass Charles Buttigieg Discography Date Title Type Listen Buy the band's merch Follow the band Previous Band Next Band

Rankin < Back Rankin’s sound combines the bluesy influence of thumping rock/metal legends like Motörhead and Down with a heavy dose of groove metal and a touch of sludge, thrash and alternative rock. The Malta-based band is comprised of Shaun Farrugia (Guitar), Gimli Ukkonen (Drums), James Byrne (Vocals) and Callum Hayden (Bass). The band was formed in 2018 after Shaun and James, who worked together as a graphic designer and content writer respectively, began jamming together with bassist Alex Lapinniemi (who stepped down and was replaced by Callum in 2022). After joining with drummer and former black metal vocalist Gimli in 2019, the band quickly took on a more solid shape as a serious metal outfit and their mixture of influences melded together to create a distinct dark and sludgy, but melodic, sound. The band used the Covid years to record their first album ‘Chrysalis’ with Clayton Cini of XIR Mobile Recording Studio and released it in April 2022.

Different Minds Charisse Agius < Back Different Minds is a local pop rock band. It was originally formed more than 20 years ago but the band's ambitions were cut short because all instruments and sound systems were stolen from the garage they used to hire for reherseals. The original single 'I Can Change' was recorded during that period but eventually it was released 20 years later, when in Summer 2019 the founding members - lead singer Robert G and acoustic guitarist Jason Mizzi - decided to regroup Different Minds again. Former keyboardist Elton Abela joined as well. Jeff Hailey on lead guitars, Godwin Debono on bass guitar and Julio Quintero on drums are the new members for this 6-men band. A total of 6 original singles were released by Different Minds. 'Across the Borderline' in 2020 and Helping Hand in 2022 are their most popular songs and both made it to the top places in the PRS Malta Airplay Chart and 'L-Aqwa 20 - Klassifika tal-Maltin'. The latest single 'Different Not Less' was released in April 2023. The band gig's are also popular for all-time pop rock cover versions.

Destiny Band Oz < Back Destiny Band Oz is a multi-award winning duo comprising husband and wife singer-songwriters, Thomas and Tessa Libreri. Their versatile music and vocal styles range from soulful ballads to pumpy, country rock; ('Country, Rock and Soul! ) They have already released 3 albums and 2 EPs and are excited to have just released their new album of original songs with new producer, Damian Cafarella of EOR Studios called 'Who I Might Be'. As children, Thomas and Tessa grew up in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Thomas in Reservoir and Tessa in Kilsyth. They were both musically inclined and tutored in music and singing. Thomas formed his first band at 12 playing bass guitar and had singing lessons from Normie Rowe. He played in many bands over the years. Tessa performed in musicals, went to the Johnny Young Talent School and was classically trained by Suzanne Steele then with Audrey Duggan. Thomas and Tessa met in a line-dancing country band based in Kinglake in 1996 which seemed like 'destiny' and they soon branched out on their own as a duo and later with various full band line-ups performing at clubs and functions. They married, had children and settled in Kinglake. They didn't perform much whilst their children were very young and then the horrific Black Saturday bushfires struck. Thomas and Tessa fought and saved their home and family and some of their neighbours but not all - and in the aftermath they decided to move their family away to Gippsland for a new start. (Thomas received a 'BM' - Bravery Medal from the Governor-General of Australia for his actions in saving a neighbour after the fire who sadly died a few weeks later in hospital) both Thomas and Tessa were heavily involved in the relief and rebuilding effort personally and through their building business at the time. After moving to Gippsland, they devoted themselves to the activities of their primary school aged daughters, joined community groups and clubs in the area and soon found themselves performing full-on again. They decided to record an album of their original songs written over the years because of their life-changing experience and knowing how fragile life is, so it was more for posterity than anything but they were encouraged by local radio hosts who'd heard them perform their songs to release a song to radio, which they did in 2017. Since then, they've had amazing #1 and Top 10 chart successes for their music and have amassed over a dozen major Australian and International awards including: Akademia Rising Star 2021 (Los Angeles) and *Akademia Best Country Song 2019 National Traditional Country Association of Australia Artists of the Year 2020 - Tessa Libreri with 'Ray of Hope' and Thomas Libreri with 'I'll Be With You' RRTCR Dory's World Indie Network Country Duo of the Year 2019 & 2020 Back to back awards for International Band of the Year 2019 & *International Entertainer of the Year 2020 at the International Singer-Songwriter Association Awards in Atlanta, Georgia USA.
