More Details
Heat Two of the Ding Dong Lounge Band Competition 2025 brings together six genre-blending bands, each chasing a spot in the semi-finals. With only two slots up for grabs, every set is a statement—and every crowd reaction counts.
Blossom (Grunge / Alt Metal / Pop Punk)
Formed in 2017 by music classmates Allan, Willem, and Joseph, Blossom has grown into a tight-knit trio crafting original music that blends grunge grit with alt-metal weight. Their earlier pop punk roots still echo through their sound, giving each track a melodic edge and emotional punch.
Clementine (Emo)
Liam Hansen, Hirimaia Eketone, Jesse Schroder-Smale, and Taygen Newton channel electronica-infused fifth wave emo with indie rock urgency. Their songs are loud, bright, and screamed at full volume—raw emotion wrapped in sonic chaos. They’d appreciate a cold bottle of water after.
DayDreamer (Indie Rock)
