The RADAR night (26/02/2015) at Chelsea Stadium's plush
Under The Bridge venue is one of the hottest live events for both the music industry and fans alike. It is a platform to showcase the best unsigned and just-signed talent who are emerging from under the wings of Music Week, ILUVLIVE and MusicConnex.
The newly formed London based trio
Bella Figura gave us a heavy and resonant set of 30 minutes to whet our appetites. The three members, Justin Gartry (Guitar & Vocals), Mikey Cooper (Bass & Vocals) and Rhys Maslen (Drums & Vocals) met studying music production, and are all multi-instrumentalists.

It is the figurehead of Justin Garty who sets the tone. A timbre which cuts thick and deep, hitting a frequency that makes your inner organs vibrate in purring pleasure. The shadow sounds from Cooper and Maslen are as viscous as a good gravy, pouring their blanket of meaty vibes into more than a few open mouths.
There is a simplicity to their songs and their often slow pace creates a deliberate and powerful edge.
Never Learn was such a moment, Garty stood alone in the dark, a single man in a landscape of telegraph straight trees. The darkened earth on which he stood was gouged and pounded by Bella Figura, the air haunted by the call of Rhys Maslen on vocals.
