Influenced by Courteeners, Arctic Monkeys and Catfish and the Bottlemen, these musicians are tipped for huge success in 2022.
Also on the bill are local band Current Affairs, Sonum and local duo The Hangman's Howl, who have been regulars at The Hive since last year.
Chris Carr, general manager of The Hive, said: "I have a real soft spot for these boys, they are so talented.
"They have some very catchy tunes that makes me just want to hear more all the time, great melodies, great lyrics and great songs.
"For me it's like someone took a member from The Libertines introduced them to the Arctic Monkeys on a night out and got together and wrote a bunch of great songs.
"It is very exciting to have such a such a high calibre of musicians coming to The Hive."
A songwriters' session will be held on Sunday, February 6, led by headline act Ian Prowse, from Amsterdam, who is embarking on a UK tour.
