Cart & Horses welcomes a relentless four-band bill of heavy metal, thrash, and doom to our basement venue on WEDNESDAY, 28th October 2026.

From heavy rock to bone-crushing sludge, this lineup brings total underground energy from the North down to London.

And So I Watch You From Afar were born from freezing cold winters on the northernmost tip of Ireland. They play raw, charging, experimental music that is hard to define. Sometimes angular and noisy, sometimes pulsing, euphoric, overwhelming.

Political punk metal band HAWXX are known for their wild performances and songs of rage, love and resistance. The London based progressive trio have created their most devastating and beautiful work in their second full-length album "The World Splits Open".

Live @ the hope and anchor, Islington, London, UK.
Plus special guests TBA.
