With support from BUDS & Wot Gorilla

Slam Dunk Presents

Brighton-based quartet really big really clever have quickly cemented themselves as a vitalforce in the UK emo and grunge scene. Since their explosive debut in 2023, the band hasturned heads with their dynamic sound and relentless energy. Releasing their debut LP via BethShalom Records (home to acts like itoldyouiwouldeatyou, Buds., and Regal Cheer) teaming upwith producer Tom Hill, the record showcased a seamless blend of grunge, indie, punk, andemo, earning the band a growing legion of fans.

Influenced by artists such as Deftones, Reuben, PUP and Violent Soho, the core duo of JaredTomkins and Jordan Lilford formed the project after the split of their previous band, GenderRoles. Lacking the correct amount of limbs for full live performances, they brought in Brightonscene stalwarts Chris Childs and Sam Perkins to round out the line up, ensuring their onstage energy matched the power of their recordings.

Since their formation, really big really clever have played and toured alongside notable acts like Tigercub, Sweet Pill, Have Mercy, Gaffa Tape Sandy, Church Girls, and Family Dinner, solidifying their reputation as one of the most exciting live bands in the scene. 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year, with the release of their single, “floss is boss” and a string of UK tour dates. With whispers of a second full-length album on the horizon, really big really clever are poised to take their sound to even greater heights.

ABOUT THE DISPLAY TEAM

The Display Team are a high-energy, high-concept, high-pitched band from London. Across many years, two albums and countless concerts, they have ploughed their own furrow, demonstrating a stubborn resistance to the obvious tropes of rock music while never denying the beauty of a well-crafted pop melody. Using what are now perhaps old-fashioned tools, they continue to search for new things, ideas that are thus far unsaid and tunes that are as yet unplayed, and deliver them to a public who are unready for them. Their music is at once both majestic and earthy, profane and profound, and enters the body as much through the gut as the ears.

Brudenell Presents…

Up and down the venues of the country, from the grassroots basements of their adopted hometown of Brighton through to an ever-growing catalogue of sold out shows and magnetic festival sets, The New Eves have been steadily creating a word-of-mouth phenomenon.

Nestled somewhere between primal rock’n’roll live performance and transcendent ritual, there’s an unmistakable alchemy that happens when Violet Farrer (guitar, violin, vocals), Nina Winder-Lind (cello, guitar, vocals), Kate Mager (bass, vocals) and Ella Oona Russell (drums, flute,vocals) step onto a stage together. It’s a boundless, uninhibited kind of magic that feels completely new; that’s writing its own rulebook for how to exist-as a band, as women, as humans in the world-from the ground up.

HOT VOX Presents:  Sleuth Gang // Mantarray // The Marble Arches // Moose Knuckle

Experience the best emerging talent Leeds has to offer at the Hyde Park Book Club. Join us for a night of live music featuring some of the city’s most promising new artists. With a diverse lineup and fresh sounds, this event is a must for anyone looking to discover the future of Leeds’ music scene. Don’t miss your chance to see tomorrow’s future stars today at the Hyde Park Book Club!

 

Sleuth Gang
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/sleuth-gang/

Sleuth Gang are a seven piece punk band from Leeds, blending punk, rap, hip hop, dance, and hardcore to create a sound as diverse as its members. Described as the love child of The Beastie Boys, Enter Shikari, and The Clash, the band has been gaining momentum, with 2024 seeing their music featured on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music. BBC Introducing’s Jericho Keys has hailed them as one of the best live bands he’s seen in years – a testament to their explosive, high energy performances.


Mantarray
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/mantarray/

Mantarray bring a contagious energy to the Birmingham alternative rock scene, turning heads and giving crowds nights to remember. The band formed in 2018, growing up together in their home town of Stourport-On-Severn and caught the attention of the Birmingham music scene back in 2019. After a rename in 2020, Mantarray set out to share their captivating sound, combining exciting distorted guitar riffs and punchy bass lines with explosive drumming to keep the adrenaline pumping. After numerous sold out shows in BIrmingham, the band released their debut single ‘Fairytale Lovestory’ on all streaming platforms, alongside a music video available to watch on YouTube. 


The Marble Arches
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/the-marble-arches/

The Marble Arches are Yorkshire’s finest musicians and misfits. Described as a band ‘with so much imagination that their next move – even their next song – is difficult to predict’, the band aims to strikes a balance between the familiar and the unexpected, to make music that is slick, heartfelt and, above all, uniquely TMA.  Their latest EP, ‘Calling The Bluff’, is out now.

Their accolades include 3 singles being featured on VEVO’s Incoming Rock and Alternative Playlists, playing a live session on Radio York for BBC Introducing and opening the main stage of Bingley Weekender after winning their emerging talent competition, playing alongside IDLES, Echo & The Bunnymen and Miles Kane. 


Moose Knuckle
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/moose-knuckle/

Moose Knuckle started the way most good things do – someone got bored and decided to make some noise. Dan wanted to start a band, found some like-minded misfits – Stu, James, Elliot, and Chris and Moose Knuckle was born. No dramatic origin story. No delusions of grandeur. Just five mates smashing out raw, riff-heavy tunes with enough sweat and sarcasm to peel paint off the walls.

Their sound is jagged, unapologetic, loud & in-your-face & danceable somewhere between a sucker punch to the face, and a night out you only half-remember. They’re not trying to change the world. They just want to make it shake a bit (a lot).

Whitney K

Whitney K

Tickets HERE

With support from Vehicle & Cyclist

Brudenell Presents...

Whitney K is the musical vehicle for Canadian born songwriter Konner Whitney. He is known for his agile lyricism, unpolished yet luminously resonant recordings, and a gritty baritone that balances cool detachment with profound emotional undercurrents. For years, Whitney K existed as an amorphous moving target, as restless as the man behind it. After a string of cassette releases, the band focused its vision on their highly praised 12” debut, Two Years (2020; Maple Death Records), a pivotal period during which band-member Josh Boguski’s role solidified as primary collaborator and producer. Together with multi-talented musicians Avalon Tassonyi and Michael Halls, their synergy has since yielded two more acclaimed albums on Maple Death: Hard to be a God (2022), an immersive orchestral EP, and Vivi! (2023), a frenetic live album preserving their first international tour.

“Nomadic Canadian channelling magical realism, country rock and Lou Reed" Uncut

“Whitney’s ability to capture a deep existential yearning and conjure majesty through a connection to something far bigger and more meaningful is immediately striking.” Paste

Now the group have returned to Boguski/Halls’ makeshift home-studio in Montreal to craft their first album for Fire Records. Stripping back and pushing forward, the band is conjuring their most raw yet refined work to date—an honest, sonically paradoxical collection that finds fresh possibilities in the familiar shapes of rock, pop, and folk with the same unfiltered energy and poetic gravity Whitney K fans have come to expect.

Known for his lush arrangements and deeply poetic lyrics, his sound is an unpredictable mix of haunting melodies, clever wordplay, and introspective storytelling.

Hawksley Workman continues to carve his own path, crafting music that feels timeless and deeply resonant.

“Hawksley Workman: He is a survivor. One of the rare Canadian artists who has managed to forge a decades-long career and still draw a crowd. And more comfortable in his skin than ever.”

The Coast

“There is, in Hawksley Workman, an absolutely prodigious sense of survival, Less Rage More Tears (2020) only confirms it. From the start, Hawksley Workman gives himself up without a net, he bares himself again, which does not prevent his songs from revealing a striking combat modesty.”

OuiFM, France

“Workman proves instantly why he has been a music staple for a number of years. His honest and thoughtful lyricism floats above a heavenly cloud, giving a treat for both the eyes and ears.”

No Depression

“Impressively, he not only has plenty to say, but also understands the importance of putting things in a way that seems effortlessly original.”

Step right up and dive headfirst into the weird and wonderful world of Dirty Nice! This UK six-piece isn’t just a band—they’re a multi-sensory, mind-bending experience that blurs the lines between music, art, and pure escapism.

Critics call them "charming" (The FADER), "mind-bending" (Rolling Stone), and "whimsical and playful" (MTV). Now, they’re inviting YOU to experience it all LIVE with the launch of their most ambitious project yet: Planet Weekend.

Imagine MGMT’s day-glo pop colliding with The Flaming Lips’ psychedelic theatrics, sprinkled with British eccentricity. Dirty Nice, led by the inventive duo Charlie Pelling and Mark Thompson, will pull you into their glitchy, funky, psychedelic indie universe—where every melody is a tilt-a-whirl, and every lyric hits like an emotional sucker punch.

Expect hits from their cult-favorite albums Surrenderland and Lobster, like "SHARK!" (BBC Radio 1 favourite) and "This Is Gonna Hurt" (Chris Hawkins' 6 Music morning staple), plus fresh tracks from Planet Weekend. From the surreal, yet relatable, narrative of "If I Was Abducted by Aliens" to the joyous refrains of "Another Life”, this show promises heart, humor, and hypnotic hooks.

Add Dirty Nice's surreal self-made animations and bizarre visuals, and you’ve got more than a concert—you’ve got an experience.

 “There is a case to be made that Legss are one of the most underrated acts to grace the British musical landscape today” (So Young). After meeting and forming in London, Legss released their experimental, darkly satirical debut EP Writhing Comedy in 2019, which received heavy airplay on BBC 6 Music, “its stabbing, urgent musicality setting the group apart from their peers” (Clash). A year later the band’s anticipated, genre-bending sophomore EP Doomswayers was released in the shadow of the pandemic, championed by Steve Lamacq and BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, “ambitious and accomplished, an imaginative shot in the arm in a year when bluff doggerel passes for poetry and insight.” (Echoes and Dust).

Following the release of single and short film Hollywood, Legss signed to The state51 Conspiracy and released their third EP Fester in 2023. Recorded at The Church, the EP received acclaim from the likes of the Sunday Times, Quietus, Independent, Line of Best Fit, So Young Magazine, DORK, L&Q, and DIY.

In 2024, Legss were included in the afterword to a republished edition of Mark Fisher’s seminal Ghosts of My Life (Zero Books) by Simon Reynolds. Gloss, the first single from their debut album, Unreal, was released in April 2025, described as “just the beginning of a comeback from a group who, at their best, are one of London’s most powerful acts” (Hard of Hearing).

Workshop Tickets HERE

As part of my solo tour this October, I’ll be hosting workshops to celebrate the launch of a new tune book I’ve created, featuring the main folk tunes from my latest album Expectations of a Lifetime—plus a few extra surprises.  Each one is accompanied by arrangement ideas and personal reflections on how the music came to life, all rooted in my Scottish traditional background.

During the workshop, I’ll be teaching a selection of these tunes and offering a window into my creative process—how the tunes took shape and how you might interpret them in your own way. The session is open to all melody-playing instruments. No prior experience with Scottish folk music is needed, though I will be teaching mainly by ear. Players of all abilities are welcome, but please note that we won’t be covering instrumental technique, so a basic ability to get around your instrument will be helpful.

About

Scottish harpist and singer Esther Swift explores ritual, connection, isolation, and the natural world in her internationally performed intimate solo show.  She will play songs from her new EP Moon Dream, along with poems that she has been commissioned to turn into music, including works by Carol Ann Duffy, Edwin Morgan, Rachel McCrum and Jackie Kay.


A prolific, boldly innovative harpist, composer and singer, Esther works across genres as diverse as jazz, classical, chamber music and free improvisation, whilst always interweaving her Scottish folk roots.


She has travelled to Vietnam, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Mongolia, and beyond with her music, and shared international, music lead collaborations with musicians and other artists around the world.  

 
Her performance features recent commissions by Celtic Connections, Chamber Music Scotland, Manchester Jazz festival and The Edwin Morgan Trust and has been toured around the world.


Esther's debut solo studio album, Expectations of a Lifetime, was released in June 2024.

Bonnie Stewart (aka Bonniesongs) is originally from Wicklow, Ireland. She moved to Sydney in 2012 after visiting some Australians she met at a jazz improvised course in New York and falling in love with the city. “I had no friends or family from Australia” she explains “but I had an internal pull to move here”.

Cistern + Guests

Brudenell Presents….

Cistern play rock music like the best bands formed at the periphery: raw, scrappy, intuitive – a group of friends forging awe and anguish into song. Inspired by the indie rock of the 00’s, 90’s slowcore and 80’s post punk and goth music, their sound balances their eclectic music tastes to create something uniquely their own. Their songs often incorporate obscure, angular melodies and grooves while trying to hook the listener with guitar lines and vocal refrains. They aim to challenge the listeners expectations but not to the point of exhaustion, offering both tension and release. Drawing on multiple songwriters and writing in a collaborative way allows for a wide variety of styles and influences to penetrate their music, often resulting in songs with unconventional song structures and drastic dynamic changes. Based in Squamish, BC a relatively small and isolated town, the band operates outside of any convention big city “music scene” - allowing a focus on writing and recording without much peer influence or industry tampering.

Tomorrow's Warriors RISE Showcase featuring Allexa Nava (London) + Tom Warrilow's Cinquillo (Leeds)

Tickets HERE

This autumn, Leeds' longest serving jazz promoter Lubi Jovanovic (DJ Lubi) teams up with London's acclaimed jazz talent development organisation Tomorrow's Warriors for a series of three concerts across three months and two venues, showcasing the next generation of UK jazz stars. Each concert features a Tomorrow's Warriors London artist alongside a local Leeds rising jazz talent as support. The concerts will be on Sunday 28th September at The Attic (Maddy Coombs Quartet + Sophie Speed Quintet), Sunday 19th October at Hyde Park Book Club (Allexa Nava + Tom Warrilow's Cinquillo), and Saturday 22nd November at The Attic (Donovan Haffner + Reece Fogg).

The RISE showcase series continues on Sunday 19th October at Hyde Park Book Club with Allexa Nava and her band from London, supported by Leeds musician Tom Warrilow Cinquillo. Here's the full info.

Hailing from Peru saxophonist, flautist, and composer Allexa Nava has been making waves on the UK jazz scene for the last few years, both as an artist in her own right (performing at Ronnie Scott’s and Jazz In The Round), as well as a member of the all-female Latin ensemble and festival favourites Colectiva (booked in 2022 in Leeds by DJ Lubi).

But it is her reputation as a bandleader and composer that is set to soar following the release of her highly anticipated debut EP "No Language" on the influential Jazz Re:freshed label.

There is no doubt that the release of "No Language" marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for this emerging talent, whose fresh perspective and technical prowess is ready to  breathe new life into the contemporary jazz scene. And it is no surprise that Nava’s recordings have already received radio play both here in the UK and internationally, including Jazz FM and BBC Introducing London, Antena 3 in Portugal, WYEP Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, and the title track was disque du jour on TSF Jazz in France.

A participant on the Tomorrow’s Warriors Emerging Artists Programme, there is no denying that Allexa has already gone on an incredible journey of exploration and growth as a musician. And jazz audiences can feel justifiably excited to see where this journey leads next!

“The Peruvian-born saxophonist and flautist has made a mark for herself on the contemporary UK jazz scene – and listening to her debut single, a track from her imminent EP, No Language, one can well understand why.” - Sounds and Colours

"With this first EP, Allexa Nava clearly represents what distinguishes Jazz in the UK and in London, namely audacity and assurance" - La Face B

"The new nugget of London jazz is from Peru! Young saxophonist Allexa Nava unveils his new EP, modern, beautifully produced, with a powerful alto sound and an often original approach. A dream!" - TSF Jazz, France


Tom Warrilow, a 21-year-old drummer and alumni from Leeds Conservatoire, has already made a name for himself in the jazz world. He has studied under a distinguished group of mentors, including Dave Hamblett, Sebastiaan de Krom, and Dave Walsh at Leeds Conservatoire. Previously, he honed his skills at Chethams School of Music in Manchester, where he was mentored by Steve Berry, Les Chisnall, and Iain Dixon. Tom also gained invaluable experience working with the likes of Soweto Kinch and Mark Hodgson at the National Youth Jazz Collective.


Tom is the leader and drummer of Cinquillo, a band comprising fellow Leeds Conservatoire students and alumni, including Charlie Folland on alto saxophone, Charlie Wilberforce on guitar, Joseph Frost-Tesfaye on keys, and Jade Smith on bass. The quintet's name, Cinquillo, is derived from a five-note rhythmic pattern rooted in Afro-Haitian influences that spread to Eastern Cuba after the Haitian Revolution of 1791. Their music explores the work of South African jazz legend Bheki Mseleku and saxophonist John Stubblefield, alongside Brazilian and Latin influences, as well as Tom's own original compositions.


Tom's musical influences are diverse, blending Latin American rhythms from artists like João Bosco and Mongo Santamaria, with the melodic writing of Kenny Wheeler and elements of contemporary jazz. His music is becoming increasingly known for its adventurous fusion of jazz and Latin grooves, solidifying him as an exciting emerging artist with a unique voice in the jazz scene.

This performance is part of Tomorrow’s Warriors’ Warriors Rise initiative, which sees the acclaimed jazz talent development organisation support three emerging Warriors’ artists, including Maddy, across a seven-date run of UK gigs, providing tour planning and marketing mentoring. Warriors Rise is a PRS Foundation Talent Development Network Partner initiative supported by PPL.

Charlie Bennett is a 24-year-old bedroom-pop artist from Birmingham. Inspired by Dayglow and Beabadoobee, he started releasing music in late 2020, having taught himself to record and produce from his bedroom during lockdown. A self-declared “bedroom pop artist”, Bennett was drawn to the genre’s creativity-first ethos: making music with whatever gear you have. This DIY stance proved itself in his breakout track “Is This Falling?” in September 2020. With 6 million streams and counting, it was recorded using a £20 microphone and an iPhone. Its success gave Bennett the confidence to double down on his musical instincts, releasing his debut EP “Duvet Days”, which was aptly named after using his bedding to soundproof his room whilst recording. Charlie Bennett has built a community of over 500,000 dedicated followers, nicknamed his “Strawbennetts”, who’ve helped stream Charlie’s music over 12.5 million times to date. He’s landed playlist spots on Spotify’s “Our Generation”, supported Will Joseph Cook’s recent UK tour, a slot at Reading Festival, plays on 6 Music, BBC Introducing and KCRW, and the attention of major label bosses, one of whom Bennett remembers chatting to on Zoom whilst folding his socks. Given what they continue to achieve from a student bedroom, it is clear this DIY champ is one to watch.

Scott Lavene

Tickets HERE

Please Please You & Brudenell Presents...

Scott Lavene is as English as pork pies and pasties, dunked biscuits in Yorkshire tea. Last year’s album Disneyland in Dagenham was full of Essex, East End poetry, and classic English post punk. Following extensive touring including many sold-out shows, Scott is back with another album entitled, Cars, Buses, Bedsits and Shops out 22nd August on Nothing Fancy. An album bursting with more dark humour, snapshots of squalor and cheek, and Scott’s unique love songs. Lavene has also announced a 22 date tour around the UK as well as festival appearances at this year’s Glastonbury, End of the Road, Lakefest and Boia festivals.    

Produced by Stew Jackson, who’s worked with Massive Attack, Black Crowes, Tom Waits and Nick Cave, the record shines with Scott’s presence, alongside Ryan Rogers of Mumble Tide, co-producing and playing organs, synths and mellotron. The album came together quickly, in a five-day wonder, in Bristol, September 2024. Scott’s longer story-based songs have taken a backseat on this record with more singing than before and a higher percentage of ballads, sincere, wistful and tender. They evoke the lyrics and feelings set down by Daniel Johnston and The Magnetic Fields, Evan Dando and the immense David Berman. But a few ratty stories still remain.

Scott explains “On tour, I’d become used to playing the story based songs, the spoken word ones. But fans kept asking me why I didn’t sing anymore, which surprised me. So over the course of a month I wrote a dozen proper songs, alongside “Cars” which was something I already had, a piece of writing that went into Bits and Bobs, my short poetry book I was selling at gigs. I knew I wanted to make something more classic and polished, and when I bumped into Stew at the Bristol show he told me we should make an album and it quickly got organised. I’d been used to playing most of the instruments on the last two albums but Stew can play everything really well so he plays drums and guitars, let alone lap steel, and I just put down basic tracks and watched him and Ryan build the songs, while I sat on the sofa in the studio.”

Cars, Buses, Bedsits and Shops is fit to burst with colour, a slight change in the wacky production of old, the album is polished like a classic 70’s American singer songwriter album, an ode to Wings, to yacht rock and Neil Young. Like if Wilco and Bruce Springsteen’s baby was raised in Basildon. The combination of wry observation, humble wisdom, unguarded vulnerability and unpredictable humour makes Scott unique in today’s expansive world of artists.

MF Tomlinson

Tickets HERE

With support from Nico Paul  & Sam King

Brudenell Presents...

London-based, Brisbane/Meanjin-born singer-songwriter MF Tomlinson made his debut with the release of his 'Last Days Of Rome' EP in 2020 and has since released two critically acclaimed full length albums, 2021's 'Strange Time' and its follow up and sister album 'We Are Still Wild Horses' in 2023 via PRAH Recordings.

Merging together ambient, experimental jazz, acid-folk and indie folk to otherworldly new territory, 'We Are Still Wild Horses' received universal widespread acclaim upon its release from The Times, Mojo, Uncut, The Line Of Best Fit, Record Collector, Music OMH, The Arts Desk, Beats Per Minute, Gigwise, amongst many others.

Tomlinson's work has seen him traverse the globe, performing at festivals from Finland to Australia, and at the widely adored End of the Road Festival, not to mention support UK/EU tours with American heavyweights Geese and TORRES, alongside coveted support dates with Dry Cleaning, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, DeVotchKa, James Yorkston and Nina Persson - to name but a few.

(19 June) Today MF Tomlinson reveals new single 'My Hand In Yours', the compelling final taster of his highly anticipated new album 'Die To Wake Up From A Dream', out 11th July on PRAH Recordings. Tomlinson today also announces new UK tour dates for the autumn, with stops in Brighton, Manchester, Cardiff, Bristol and Leeds.

(19 June) Today MF Tomlinson reveals new single 'My Hand In Yours', the compelling final taster of his highly anticipated new album 'Die To Wake Up From A Dream', out 11th July on PRAH Recordings. Tomlinson today also announces new UK tour dates for the autumn, with stops in Brighton, Manchester, Cardiff, Bristol and Leeds.

New single 'My Hand In Yours' arrives on waves of reverb-drenched pedal steel, capturing the stillness and intimacy of moments spent in his wife’s presence. A gorgeous slowcore-folk meditation featuring Jacken Elswyth (Shovel Dance Collective) on banjo, the song explore the quiet experience of living in love - his wife’s hand a physical embodiment of their connection.

Echoing the emotive twang of Bill Callahan and the dreamlike haze of Mazzy Star, the track swells with understated beauty. Tomlinson’s lyrics are no less poetic: “My hand in yours is a path that I can follow,” he sings, as pedal steel traces the emotional thread. “Your voice in my head, so I don’t get lost.”

Reflecting on the single, Tomlinson said:

"My wife once told me about an exercise where you close your eyes and let someone lead you down the street to understand what it’s like to be blind. We lived on Amhurst Road, across from Hackney Central, and tried it one Saturday on our way into town. You can picture that while listening for some added comedy.

It struck me that often, that's all we're ever doing - following the path of a friend, a companion, someone we love. How in most ways, it's the only path we ever need. So yeah it's a love song pure and simple - it still chokes me up! Jacken Elswyth (of herself and of Shovel Dance Collective) plays the banjo at the end. I’m a Jacken stan and feel truly honoured to have her on this — the way she plays lifts the whole thing somewhere new, especially with the birdsong in there too (I feel it gives the ending a little of Jim O’Rourke’s 'Halfway to a Threeway')."

'Die To Wake Up From A Dream' is MF Tomlinson's third studio album, and marks the final chapter in a trilogy of self-produced full lengths, following the critically acclaimed 2021 debut 'Strange Time' and 2023's 'We Are Still Wild Horses', respectively drawing universal praise from Uncut, Mojo, The Times, The Arts Desk, Record Collector, The Line of Best Fit, CLASH Magazine and many more.

An opus on human experience, new album 'Die To Wake Up From A Dream' is an urgent and vivid description of the times in which we live, fusing organic and electronic textures into a sonic tapestry that explores internal, external, and digital realms.

Encompassing folk, shoegaze, art-rock, prog and orchestral traditions, the new album was produced by Tomlinson in his studio in Poplar, London. Meticulously captured one instrument at a time, 'Die To Wake Up From A Dream' is a psychoacoustic odyssey of impossible proportions.

From the grandeur of opener and previous single 'Blink And You'll Miss It', the liminal landscapes of instrumental tracks 'A Dream' and 'A Meadow (Part I)’ to the stormy, tumultuous 'Your Flight (Dying/Another Dream)' featuring vocals by Dry Cleaning's Florence Shaw, the universe Tomlinson has created is hyper-real; the falling of a pin detectable in the midst of a raging storm at sea.

MF Tomlinson has shared three songs from the new album so far - its ambitious centrepiece and 9-minute title track ‘Die To Wake Up From A Dream’, the lush, expansive album opener 'Blink And You'll Miss It', and the assured, poignant beauty of 'I'm On The Border - receiving early plaudits from The Needle Drop, Rolling Stone, The Line of Best Fit, CLASH Magazine, Rough Trade, and more.

With their songs grabbing the attention of people worldwide across social media and streaming platforms, the band were spotted by Grammy award winning producer Rob Cavallo.

Having already landed a spot on EA sports NHL soundtrack with their debut single, the band picked up a booking agent and began totake their next steps.

Rolling on to 2025, and with appearances at the likes of Live at Leeds and Neighbourhood Festival in Manchester already under their belt, EVER have started to plot their adventures further afield. In February, the east-coast trio travelled to Los Angeles to record their debut album with Cavallo; in the summer they will appear at festivals including 2000 Trees and Liverpool Sound City. There is much, much more to come.

Don't miss this chance to see Joel Sarakula in a rare headline UK show. Expect soft-rock, disco, dad puns and lots of jazzy chords 🎶

JOEL SARAKULA

Imagine if Ray Manzarek was the frontman for the Bee Gees... It’s a neat visual introduction to Joel Sarakula, a UK-based Australian artist who writes, producesand sings Soulful Pop, gazing out at a contemporary world through vintage glasses, vintage threads and long blond hair.

His music is informed by a rich, 1970s-inspired palette, drawing on soft-rock, funk and disco influences: sunny, uptempo jams for darker times. Self-aware that he looks and occasionally sounds like the love child of Ray Manzarek and the Gibb brothers, his self-deprecating sense of humour is always there just below the fringe.

FORM Presents MAMALARKY + Special Guests

Tickets HERE

In making their third record, Hex Key, Mamalarky spent entire seasons hunched over guitars and obscure synthesizers, their long hair sweeping over strings or covering concentrated eyes. The band recorded takes in between the sounds of passing ice cream trucks and yowling stray cats in their LA home studio, a tight but prolific living room. Hex Key is a document of perseverance, of going for the gold while somehow remaining totally aware of one’s own vulnerabilities. These effervescent, swirling songs chronicle vivid desires crashing against real-life limitations but finding a way to keep burning anyway. That tension between anguish and resilience, between performed aloofness and brutal honesty, drives the music, imbues it with a compelling intensity.

Over the last 8 years, the quartet’s members have lived in Austin, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, and have established a bond that they acknowledge is rare. “We have an unmatched level of trust in each other,” drummer Dylan Hill says. “There is no air of professionalism. It's literally just four friends hanging out and getting to the bottom of something.”

Brighton-based CIEL craft a unique blend of moody indie rock, shoegaze, goth, post-punk/new wave and triphop weaving together ethereal melodies with a dark, driving energy. Fronted by Dutch-born singer and songwriter Michelle Hindriks, the band evolved into a duo in the studio with the addition of drummer Tim Spencer. CIEL’s sound is both atmospheric and urgent—heavy guitars, pulsing basslines, and driving rhythms providing the backdrop for Hindriks’ haunting yet intimate vocals. Think of a sound that sits somewhere between the hazy allure of Slowdive, the urgency of Wolf Alice, and the brooding cool of The Cure—ethereal yet punchy, nostalgic yet fresh, and leaving room for wonky sound experiments through the use of vintage synths and samples.

Jeremy's heart raced as he handed a thin envelope over the stale corporate desk. He was greeted by a knowing smile from his boss, a former big band trombonist, as if reliving his life choices for a moment. The resignation letter would be the last act of a decade-long struggle with his working identity, and the beginning of the 32-year-old's headfirst dive into music. In the Spring of 2018, Jeremy would buy and lovingly convert a green transit van and set out to busk his way around Europe. The North Star of dedication to music set in his heart and a lifetime of insecurity to conquer.
Relishing the world of music business independence, Jeremy released two albums and a live EP in the late Twenty Teens including his first studio album working alongside Decoy and Old Jet studios and producer Simon Britcliffe in Suffolk. The releases peaked BBC Introducing interest leading to BBC Radio 6 radio play and a performer slot at Hay Festival. Support slots for The Feeling, Ben Ottewell (Gomez) and Scott Matthews quickly followed. The latter of which was snubbed just weeks before by the Covid pandemic.
Covid provided an opportunity to set up his own record label and publishing company Triplane Records and expand into collaboration, creating and leading the bands Pinfeather and Mongrel - Releasing six tracks respectively into the Triplane catalog. A full length solo album (Into The After) followed just before the end of lockdown, stretching Jeremy's legs as a producer and paving the way over 300 live shows in the two years following the pandemic.
2025 brought a fresh new collaborative album, a further addition to the Triplane catalog, and an evolution of sound away towards alt-pop and soul, whilst maintaining the narrative storytelling of his previous work. Jeremy's most ambitious European and UK tour to date follows in Autumn 2025.

Phil Maguire & Grace Elizabeth Harvey

Tickets HERE

An evening of folk and blues with two of the most exciting talents in the country, Phil Maguire and Grace Elizabeth Harvey.

 

Phil Maguire: 

Phil Maguire is a folk and blues musician from South East London that has been touring their unique blend of contemporary and traditional folk music for over 10 years. A life of gigging on the road birthed a number of singles that were followed by the EP ‘The Church Bell’ in early 2022. 2023 then saw the release of his debut album ‘Valley Of My Dreams’. A contemporary folk record steeped in the tradition that has been picked up by a number of radio stations. For the past 10 years Phil has been regularly touring across the UK from Devon to Yorkshire including performances at Glastonbury Festival and Green Man Festival. 2026 will see Phil’s second album released into the world.

Trust The Doc - "Stunning Indie Folk"

Home Farm Fest - “Phil’s unique voice imbues his story-led songs with a wistful, heart-rending tint. An absolutely stunning act!”

Demerara Records - " Phil Maguire's songs were original and impressive as was his guitar and bouzouki playing but, wow, his voice was shuddering and earth shattering. What a talent he is.

Boogaloo Radio - "Reminds me of Richard Thompson"

Grace Elizabeth Harvey:

Grace Elizabeth Harvey is a wanderer. An independant singer-songwriter and cellist from Birkenhead her music intends to captivate through questioning that which lies just beneath our experience. Virtuosic vocals and intricate guitar work characterise her debut EP Other Faith, which muses on faith of all kinds, which was released independently on the 9th May 2025 and was accompanied by a sold out self-organised UK tour and a run of 10 inch vinyl. Curiosity and connection is at the centre of Grace’s practice.

Low Girl

Low Girl

Tickets HERE

Brudenell Presents...

On a debut album shot through with grief and emotion, the deep, intimate friendship between the members of Low Girl fuels an almost telepathic interplay. Is It Too Late To Freak Out? sees the indie four-piece intermingle their voices and guitar melodies while vivid, endlessly curious soundscapes sprawl into extended vamps, holding tight to both tension and tenderness. It’s a collection filled with exploratory songs that unfold with momentum, the sound of a group of musicians who are deeply attuned to each other.

At its heart is the idea of telling one’s own story: how much to share, how much to keep for oneself – two questions frontperson Sarah Cosgrove asked herself while writing these 11 tracks. Here, she taps into painfully universal themes without being too overt: mental illness, family dynamics, ghosting, feeling small in a big world. “Our music speaks to triumph in the face of misery,” she explains. “It’s about turning those darker moments into something you feel like you've overcome, and pushing towards making yourself a better person.” 

Since 2021’s peppy Big Now EP, Low Girl’s singles have been postcards from that journey, and Is It Too Late To Freak Out? is a fully-realised dispatch from this same pathway – imbued with an urgency, ambition, and devastating potency only hinted at until now. In the past four years, the band’s lives have changed considerably. As the accolades have accrued – airplay across BBC Radio 1, 6Music, and Radio X, slots at Reading Festival and SXSW in Austin, support from DIY and Spotify – they have also spent time on the road, performing headline tours as well opening for the likes of The Murder Capital, Swim Deep and Pom Poko. 

Low Girl initially started out as a solo endeavour for Sarah, as a means of exploring a tumultuous inner world through art. Over time, the project has expanded to include her sibling Tom (drums), and bassist/guitarist Bradley Taylor and keyboardist Toby Morgan, whom she met while studying at Lincoln University. As an independent act, the creation of Low Girl’s debut was a process unadulterated by commercial constraints or expectations; the band can attest to the thrill of an ever-changing road map. “We want it to be hard for people to pin us down and put us into a category,” Bradley affirms. 

The result is a collection of astounding sonic range – from colossal hooks that soar over waves of distortion (‘Doing My Time’, ‘2007’), to mixing layered textures and horn flourishes (‘Driveway’). Written and recorded between Bedford and rural Yorkshire, Low Girl were intentional about ensuring the sonic diversity of the album, nodding to the atmospheric dream-pop of Canadian group Alvvays, as well as Bradley’s lifelong love of emo. ‘Handbrake’, an exhilarating adventure in genre-hopping, throbs and glistens with a quietly ecstatic joy, while ‘Overgrown’ offers a deeper foray into unexpected territory, melding distorted riffs with pop-facing vocal lines. 

Is It Too Late To Freak Out?, therefore, is the result of absolute devotion to the craft and fine-tuning. Low Girl understand what it means to fight for the music, to make it the best it can be; the more hardships they have had to weather as individuals, the more precious their moments of collaboration have become. 

Stirring centrepiece ‘Ctrl’ – which speaks to the complex afflictions of living life with chronic obsessive-compulsive disorder – was born from a particularly affecting moment in the studio. “I remember feeling like I had a headache, because I was ruminating so deeply over some unfinished lyrics,” Sarah explains. “I knew I had to express exactly how I felt in order to set my own narrative; to go for gold while remaining aware of my own vulnerabilities.”

Created by Toby, who has a background in graphic design, the album’s collage-style artwork offers a way of communicating trauma in a way that words alone cannot. “On the cover image, there are dozens of small details, drawings and broken things. All of this reflects the content of the music, too: it’s purposely non-linear,” he explains.

Crucially, however, the album ends on an uplifting note. The seven minute-long ‘I Love All My Friends’, which features a gorgeously-arranged piano outro, engages with feelings once locked away – the give-and-take between happiness and clarity. The song’s title is repeated like a mantra in order to ground its author, bringing her back down to Earth as the realisation dawns: one’s close friends will always be there when everything else seems to be crumbling. 

“Working on that song felt like a form of mindfulness,” Sarah affirms. “It made me realise that when you're going through difficult times, that's when you grow the most; that's when you can feel the most connected to the world around you.”

Visceral, anthemic and alive, Is It Too Late To Freak Out? is built on a pact made between four best friends to wade through the mess together. The creation of the album has allowed Low Girl to look towards a future filled with promise, not shying away from painful experiences but instead embracing them as part of the band’s rich, intricate tapestry.

Fresh from The Great Escape, and supporting Nadine Shah, Claudia Fenoglio is a Leeds based singer-songwriter making indie-pop music, blending intimate and ethereal sounds with poignant storytelling. Look a little closer, and Fenoglio is revolutionising the indie-pop genre as we know it. Whether in her bedroom or in the studio, Claudia Fenoglio is an artist who isn’t afraid to challenge herself and her listeners, creating timeless, boundary-pushing pop music along the way. 

With new EP It Always Fades In The End, Fenoglio conjures a cinematic, poignant tapestry of songs that navigate the complexities of queer relationships. An EP that at its core is “about learning to let go and all the steps in between”, Fenoglio fuses shimmering pop flourishes with earnest lyricism that confronts the emotional weight of impermanence and the human impulse to cling onto what’s inevitably slipping away. Yet, where there is uncertainty there is also resilience. “While a lot of the songs stick to the idea that nothing good lasts forever,” Fenoglio explains, “there are also a few that bring a bit of hope - showing that love, in all its forms, can survive even when life gets hard.”

Junior Brother

Junior Brother

Tickets HERE

Carefully pushing the boundaries of what modern Irish folk can look and sound like, Junior Brother is an idiosyncratic, challenging, and richly lyrical singer/songwriter from Co. Kerry. His much-anticipated third album, The End, is officially announced and due to arrive on September 5th via Strap Originals, a label forged with love by Pete Doherty of The Libertines.

Following the success of his 2024 single Take Guilt, Junior Brother offers another taste of his upcoming LP with Small Violence, a powerful track that addresses the growing influence of misinformation and the escalating wave of conspiracy-fueled hatred.

Speaking about the new track, Junior Brother says: “Small Violence follows a character pulled in by a small few who enjoy using violent words to stoke real violence further down the line. The intro riff was heavily inspired by the Opening Titles of “The Blood on Satan's Claw”, a Folk Horror from 1971 which I highly recommend to anyone except the sensible.”


The End is a deeply instinctive yet carefully considered response to the chaos of modern life, with Junior Brother weaving the recent years of upheaval into the eerie folklore of Fairy Forts.  These ring-shaped earth mounds, scattered across the Irish countryside, are known to possess an energy that can bewilder, curse, or even lead the unwary astray. Stepping into one is to risk losing yourself—both physically and spiritually. To Junior Brother, this ancient folklore mirrors the disorienting reality of today’s world.

“The sound of the album is supposed to take the organic instruments of Irish traditional music and lift them somewhere else,” Junior Brother explains, “like the otherworldly Irish music sometimes heard from Fairy Forts at twilight on country roads, impossible to recreate upon hearing.” The End captures this essence, blending the raw textures of traditional Irish music with spectral, unearthly elements.

Much of the album’s inspiration was drawn from UCD’s Folklore Collection on duchas.ie, “I delved into the manuscripts—endless eyewitness accounts of Fairy Forts being stepped into and the land altering, the familiar mutating,” Junior Brother shares. “Farmers, teachers, the sober, the smart—all losing their way home one way or the other.” In these uncanny tales of displacement and confusion, he found striking parallels to the instability and distortion of contemporary life.

Thematically, The End explores forces that work against nature (New Road, Welcome to My Mountain), the rise of the far-right (Small Violence, Today My Uncle Told Me), and confrontations with mortality (Old Bell, Start Digging). Through the lens of rural Irish folklore, the album reflects the bewildering madness of the present moment.

“The title The End represents the moment after being led astray, when the grip of madness releases you and you suddenly see your way home,” says Junior Brother. “It may reflect the doom of a world gone mad, but it also represents the end of darkness, and the start of a new road.”

'Wry songs of anxiety and frustration'
The Guardian

'One of the island’s all-time songwriting greats.'
Brian Coney, The Thin Air

'Junior Brother’s voice is an unlovely but strangely compelling thing and his wayward guitar style is brittle and guttural... You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll think.'

Please Please You & Brudenell Presents…

Novelty Island [aka Tom McConnell] releases third album Jigsaw Causeway on October 3rd, 2025 via Liverpool indies 9x9 Records & Ripe Records. In support, the Jigsaw Causeway tour will be trailing across the country throughout the autumn, calling at Novelty Island strongholds of Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and London.

Inspired by the fuzzed-out, woozy production of Grandaddy, Beck and Boards of Canada, Jigsaw Causeway is a darker collection of surreal, melancholic lo-fi pop songs than previous Novelty Island releases. The album was composed by utilising fragments of music in a variety of combinations, pieced together by McConnell to create his latest body of work. This mighty puzzle began on tape in Aberhosan, then harmonium tracked in Oxford, a brass band captured in Kippax and the record's final stages tracked in Liverpool. The new album artwork also features a papier-mâché sculpture of a train featuring 50,000 jigsaw pieces created by McConnell. His unique papier-mâché animated props bring a unique aesthetic to the striking Novelty Island live show.

Novelty Island’s hook-filled dream pop channels surrealism and Northern melancholy through classic songwriting. The project is led by Liverpool-based songwriter and producer, Tom McConnell, who describes the sound as “Paul McCartney having an argument with Bernard Black”. Eclectic songs inspired by childhood, motorways, trains, old televisions, cowboys, space, birds and balloons form their first two albums How Are You Coping With This Century? and Wallsend Weekend Television. Both albums have received great support from Shindig!, MOJO, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing and Absolute Radio amongst others. The Novelty Island live band have performed at Glastonbury Festival and toured the UK extensively as a headline act and support to Sea Power, The Pale White, Scott Lavene, High Llamas and China Crisis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO5QqQruAA4

James Yorkston and friends – Songs for Nina and Johanna

Songs for Nina and Johanna is the beautiful new album from James Yorkston, his sixteenth on Domino and his third to be recorded in Stockholm in conjunction with members of The Second Hand Orchestra. Nina Persson (The Cardigans), who teamed up with James on his previous critically-acclaimed album, The Great White Sea Eagle, this time divides singing duties with Johanna Söderberg (First Aid Kit), the two of them singing separately with James on five and four tracks respectively.

How does an artist approach a new album after over two decades of releasing music? In James Yorkston’s case, he focuses on the things that matter to him; these are songs about family, love and parenthood. He writes gentle, tender melodies that soar and swoop in equal measure and, of course, he ends up being accompanied by two of Sweden’s most recognisable female vocalists. “Who wouldn’t embrace the chance to sing with two great Swedish voices? When the idea for Johanna to join the fold was suggested, I leapt at the chance. Nina and Johanna, they complement, yet never compete. And me? I tried not to get in their way, tried to give them space to interpret the songs as they felt.”

Recording sessions began in January 2024 at Studio Rymden under the watchful eye of studio owner and co-producer Daniel Bengtson, who steadied the ship after a sudden illness meant that Karl Jonas Winqvist, leader of The Second Hand Orchestra, was not present during the bulk of the recording. His absence led to an agreement to not use the band’s name for this release. However, members and associates of the collective appear across the record, including guitarist Peter Morén (Peter Bjorn and John), violinist Ullis Gyllenberg and whirlwind saxophone player, Lina Langendorf. Once again, they were joined by drummer Lars Skoglund, who also worked on The Great White Sea Eagle.

“I tried to steer us towards as much as structure as possible, and to create a less chaotic vibe in the studio compared to the previous album,” Bengtson explains. “James has a very clear vision which enables whoever is in the session to capture whatever emotion needs to be captured. It made for a very vibey and productive recording session.” Yorkston, appreciative of the feeling that Bengtson creates in the studio, explains, “a studio, for me, should be a place where every idea can be explored and given its own time. A place where musicians can suggest ideas knowing they’ll be listened to and considered. Daniel understands and provides that open atmosphere.”

Whereas the band’s previous work with Yorkston was characterised by its improvisation, the sessions for Songs for Nina and Johanna were more structured. “This time James did send a couple of demos, and I felt there was a clearer intent around the album,” explains Morén. As with The Great White Sea Eagle, Yorkston chose to write a number of songs on the piano despite being a more conventionally-talented guitarist. “His limitations as a pianist create a cool style that set the tone for the album,” suggests Bengtson. With the framework and songs in place, the recording process was all-consuming. “We recorded most of the material live in the room, all together, at the same time. It was intense. The energy in the room really comes through on the album, and it’s something that can’t be recreated afterwards. When you get the right take, it’s an amazing feeling,” describes Söderberg.

The first fruits of Songs for Nina and Johanna began with Yorkston and Persson, whose extensive touring as a duo had led to the early composition of one song, ‘With Me, With You’. “We could play and hone it on tour. It was nice to work a song before it had been produced,” she recounts. With her trademark voice that fits so seamlessly with Yorkston’s, Persson has never been preoccupied with trying to make Yorkston’s songs her own. “I think of myself more like a storyteller or actor. I enjoy not being a subject and more of a craftsperson in this format.”

However, when Persson decided that due to timing issues she couldn’t commit to a full album, it was suggested by both Daniel Bengtson and Karl Jonas Winqvist that Johanna Söderberg might be a good fit to join the project. Despite Johanna’s appreciation of James’s music – Bengtson had played her some of James’ music when they worked on First Aid Kit’s Palomino together – she felt some trepidation before entering the studio. “James’ songs, and especially the lyrics, immediately resonated with me. I knew instantly that this was something I wanted to be involved in. That said, stepping into the studio with new people is always nerve-wracking. I hadn’t worked with James before, and I wasn’t sure how our voices would blend. There’s always that moment of uncertainty when you haven’t yet sung together… but I had this gut feeling that it was going to work, and I’m so grateful it did! The process ended up being beautiful.”

James Yorkston – “It goes without saying, singing with Johanna was amazing. It reminded me of countless magical nights spent in folk clubs, leaning in to the other singers, bending the notes, teasing the tunes, the harmonies. Truly special.”

Söderberg was heavily pregnant with her second child during the recording sessions, something which may have seeped into her performances. “Being at that late stage of pregnancy made me especially emotional and open, and I think that added something to the recordings.” Söderberg’s favourite track, ‘Oh Sparrow, Up Yours’, discusses childhood cancer. “I was so moved by it that I started crying. I think you can feel that motherly vulnerability in my voice on that song.”

Heightened emotions were a recurring theme throughout the recording sessions. While recording ‘A Moment Longer’, the tingling Yorkston/Persson duet, saxophonist Nina Langendorf also found herself overwhelmed. “It was hard for me to hold back the tears even from the first note but as soon as James and Nina started singing in harmony, I lost it. Nina told me afterwards that she had turned around and got quite surprised by the view of me standing there weeping. I realised I had to play too and somehow I managed to bring up the horn and catch that moment where I was meant to enter in the song,” remembers Langendorf.

Elsewhere on the record, ‘Love That Tree’ is a mini-drama contained within a song, one that Yorkston likes to think of as an off-cut from Grease, where “some of the bad guys smoked too much weed and lost track of which dance moves they should be doing.” Whereas ‘Oh Light, Oh Light’ deals with the necessity of breaking free from history’s shackles – “Why stress over events that happened twenty years ago? We have this time ahead – use it!” – ‘Love / Luck’ is a pop song that transports Yorkston to sunnier climes. “When Lina Langendorf’s sax solo kicks in, I can imagine us all in a classic convertible car, racing down to do nothing whatsoever in Southern Spain, despite the song having been written in a damp recording studio in North East Fife after an afternoon dolphin watching...”

Tender and heart-breaking yet overwhelmingly life-affirming, Songs for Nina and Johanna is a vital addition to the James Yorkston catalogue. Its release on 22nd August 2025 will include a limited-edition Dinked LP format that contains a bonus CD featuring four alternate reimaginations of tracks by The Second Hand Orchestra, bringing this story of collaboration and creativity full circle. Winqvist jokes, “listening back to what we did, someone in the orchestra said “Well, we could not go wrong, could we? The original versions are so rich and strong, even jokers like us can make quite good things just reimagining it“.

Sea Fever

With support from abandoned buildings & Marko x Tonij (DJs).

Sea Fever came together as a unit in a way that felt inevitable: “We’d wanted to work with each other for ages, so when we finally sat down in the studio, the band just seemed to come together naturally. It felt like we were really free to explore the kinds of music that have always inspired us. We dug right through the record crates of our minds to shape the sound of Sea Fever.”

Their 2021 debut album Folding Lines was the result of that creative energy—a ten-track record that effortlessly combined intelligent electronics, post-punk textures, and hypnotic melodies. Featuring singles such as De Facto, Crossed Wires, Folding Lines, Afterthought, Under Duress, and Built To Last, the album earned early support from BBC 6 Music’s Chris Hawkins and others.

Now, in 2025, Sea Fever return with a renewed sense of purpose, pushing their sound further into synth-driven, technicolour soundscapes. With deep electronic textures, binary beats, and glowing neon sparks of melody, their latest music—led by the singles Loose Cut and Breaking Out—captures a band evolving while remaining true to their roots.

The lineup, featuring Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham (New Order), Iwan Gronow (Haven, Johnny Marr), Beth Cassidy (Section 25), and Elliot Barlow (Brix & The Extricated), brings a wealth of experience to their powerful and dynamic sound. Having recently signed to Stockport-based indie label Cosmic Glue, the band is gearing up for a year of new releases and live performances, solidifying their reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting genre-blurring acts.

Love Is Noise

Tickets HERE

Slsm Dunk Presents…

With support from The Throwaway Scene / Hinata / Matador 

LOVE IS NOISE is an exercise in empathy, both lyrically and musically. The band’s Century Media debut, To live in a different way, straddles the roughshod riffing and volume of their DIY origins while embracing shoegaze-facing melodiousness, hints of Brit-pop, and a beating (and bleeding) heart erupting from Cam Humphrey’s plaintive vocals. 

Co-produced by the band with engineer Kel Pinchin and mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Drain, The Story So Far), To live in a different way is a startling debut album. From the opening track, “Devotion,” where Humphrey’s voice invokes passion and positivity, to the second track, “Soft Glow,” the album’s first single where he croons, “You are the one that shines on me,” before launching into a throat-shredding exaltation of emotion amidst a crushing battery of slashing guitars and battering drums, it’s clear from the onset that LOVE IS NOISE’s heartbeat is a thunderous one. 


Taking their name from the song “Love Is Noise” by The Verve (“That’s love in an accepting, inviting way,” says Humphrey), Cam and former Guitarist Tom almost immediately started releasing material, which quickly grabbed the attention of Fever 333/letlive frontman Jason Aalon Butler, who signed the band to his 333 Wreckords imprint. “Jason found us online, randomly,” says Cam. “Jason is a huge inspiration for us musically, but also, to me being a person of color as a frontman in a musical space where not a lot of us exist.” The 333-issued 2022 EP Euphoria, Where Were You? quickly won the band acclaim, as did their initial spate of live shows, the first being a packed headline show at London’s Black Heart that won LOVE IS NOISE an immediate reputation as a rising force within the U.K. scene. 

In keeping with LOVE IS NOISE’s ethos of not merely going through the motions, early showings from the band were few and far between, but moreover, passionate, and powerful. “We want every gig to feel like it means something,” says Humphrey. “In a sense, we want every gig to feel like a motion picture. To feel like you’re seeing something special, a moment in time that may not come again.” It was on the strengths of those early releases and live shows with the likes of Heriot and Dayseeker that LOVE IS NOISE caught the attention of Century Media Records, who signed the band in 2023. “It may seem like a new thing and a fresh band, but individually, we’ve all been working towards this for almost ten years,” says Tom. “It feels like we all had a point to prove, but now we don’t have to prove anything.”

To live in a different way is that coming-of-age album for Love Is Noise. “We put so much effort into this record that the band almost broke up,” says Cam. “It was the middle of winter, it was freezing and it was raining. In spite of that, we created a positive, cathartic record at one of the darkest times in our lives.” Songs like “Sunshine” continue LOVE IS NOISE’s lean towards more evocative melodies, while “Evelyn” brings in spare, acoustic strumming without losing sight of the band’s post-hardcore origins. That said, “Jawbreaker” proves that the trio isn’t reticent to show their aggression, waxing a chaotic, metallic sensibility amidst the din. “My goal when we started LOVE IS NOISE was to make some change in the alternative space,” says Cam. “It’s taken us three years to create a piece of art that could do that, and we’ve finally gotten there with this record.”

It was born out of sessions, sailing and living on boats together, and the wonderfully creative communities surrounding the Fal river. It began by discovering and interpreting traditional ballads that tied into the way communities and culture in Cornwall - where they are based - are changing. This led to writing new songs collaboratively that are a combination of original ideas and experiences and re-contextualising themes from the folk tradition that have weaved their way back into our day-to-day lives such as the housing crisis and the de-industrialisation of Cornwall. Ollie, Phylly and Tom use Cello, Bouzouki, Harmonium, Banjo and guitar, alongside their voices to build music full of rich harmony, warmth and dread.

Horror Vacui

Tickets HERE

Gotobeat Presents…

Horror Vacui blends early ’80s goth with post-punk in a horror-tinged sound. Their name reflects a signature style built on tight, guitar-driven songs, sing-along hooks and vocal lines many of which have become modern goth anthems as for “In Darkness You Will Feel Alright”. Fans of Corpus Delicti, Sisters of Mercy, Christian Death and Killing Joke will find familiar ground, but their catalog reaches far beyond nostalgia. Their lyrics explore identity, darkness, society and the human psyche with a raw, punk-rooted urgency that also defines their live presence and political ethos.
