One of many call-outs... Seeking West Midlands Bands – Photo Collaboration

A huge part of Heartwork is rooted in supporting grassroots music.

Back in my heyday as a photographer, I occasionally shot promo photos for bands I was close with — and even jumped in the studio myself.

(Throwback to Escaping Vendetta, 2012 — I featured as a guest vocalist on their track “The Answer.”)

Now I’m picking up the camera again and I’d love to open this opportunity up to the local scene.

I’m looking for West Midlands–based bands who’d be interested in a trade collaboration.

📸 You give me some of your time
👕 I’ll provide professional promotional photos for your use

The only ask is a handful of shots featuring some Heartwork designs. After that, the rest of the session is yours. We can collaborate on ideas, concepts and creative direction to produce something powerful that supports us both.

If this sounds like something your band would be up for, drop me a DM.

Know a West Midlands band that could benefit? Tag them below.

As always
Stay awesome 🤘

What an opportunity for an alternative drummer!!

JOIN THE LEGION
Ward XVI are an established theatrical horror band from the North West of England known for blending multiple genres with rock and metal. We’re a hardworking band dedicate to pushing ourselves to the next level. We’ve been fortunate enough to play large UK festivals and supported some big artists such as Cradle of Filth and Skindred.
Our 3rd album ‘Id3ntity’ was released this year reaching #6 in the official UK Rock/Metal chart and we’ve just completed a 14 day UK headline tour. We’ve some more exciting opportunites in the pipeline for next year.

We’re looking for someone who:
Can commit to rehearsing, recording and touring.
Is comfortable performing to backing tracks, using IEMs with a click track.
Is ready to immerse themselves into the crazy world that we’ve created. The band image and theatrical elements are as important as the music. We are all characters within the Ward XVI asylum, although no acting is required dressing the part and wearing makeup is necessary.

What you’ll get:
We have some great gig opportunities already lined up for 2026 including a main stage performance at Firevolt Festival plus others that are currently unannounced.
A very dedicated and active fanbase that we call our inmates. These regularly host meetups at all the UK festivals and support us through everything that we do.
