The Gold Tips hit Leeds for the first time with a tight 50-cap soul & funk show—tickets are limited, grab yours now.

Formed around frontman and songwriter Eamonn McNamee, the band have built their identity through a deep immersion in the lineage of soul, drawing inspiration from the emotional directness of Sam Cooke, the groove of Stax Records and the enduring spirit of Northern Soul.

“We’ve always been drawn to soul music because it says something real,” McNamee explains. “There’s nowhere to hide in it. It’s direct, it’s emotional, and when it’s right, it connects with people immediately.”

Across new album Hope and Recreation, that approach is brought to life through rich arrangements, punchy horn lines and a rhythm section that moves with warmth and momentum - capturing the feel of a band playing together with intent.

The Undead Cat:

The Undead Cat is a Leeds-based alternative folk/ electronic folk singer-songwriter and producer who entrances the audience with rich acoustic and digital textures. Taking inspiration from genres like experimental electronica, ambient, and folk music, they aim to create a sonic world with their use of digital sound design and vulnerable songwriting.

Slam Dunk Presents…

Mallavora are a multi-faceted quartet from Bristol, UK. Their sound blends prog-tinged alt.metal with vocalist Jessica Douek’s Jewish-Middle Eastern roots to create an intoxicatingly crushing mix that sits firmly in its complexity.

Guitarist Larry Sobieraj distills his experience of chronic illness into urgent, expansive instrumentals that are completed by bassist Ellis James and drummer Sam Brownlow. That feeling is then translated through Jessica Douek’s vocal performance, which moves fluidly between vulnerability and aggression. Together, they create something that feels less like performance and more like dialogue - an ongoing exchange of emotion that doesn’t always seek to be understood.

Recent achievements include festival appearances at Download, Boomtown and 2000 Trees (mainstage); Alyx Holcombe’s Track of the Week on BBC Radio 1; Spotify editorial playlisting on All New Metal, Women Of Metal, The Pit, Hard Rock; tastemaker press support from Kerrang! and Metal Hammer; and tours across the UK.

They have also appeared in less conventional places. Vocalist Jessica lent her voice as the ‘banshee’ for the BBC’s TV show ‘The Celebrity Traitors’, and their single “Smile” was the soundtrack for a runway show at London Fashion Week.

Mallavora’s conceptual debut album “What If Better Never Comes?” is out now, released on 27th March 2026 via Church Road Records.

The Rootikal Expression Session comes in with the first event after the summer, bringing some musical artists to the mix, alongside the resident selectas coming together on Impressa Soundsystem.

Impressa, Sis Star Selecta and Being One are returning to the Hyde Park Book Club for the third event of 2026. 
The musical artist for this one is James Krusz, who will bring some smooth sax lines and jazzy licks with a reggae soul. He picked up the sax 17 years ago and spent his teenage years playing in classical wind orchestras at venues such as the Royal Albert hall. It was in his twenties that he was drawn to the free and expressive nature of jazz and improvisation, starting to use music as a tool of self-expression and self-development. His musical journey then sent him towards sound system culture after attending an Impressa sound system event. Over the past couple of years he was been sharing his live sounds at dub sessions, performing in bands and recording for local artists.

For a number of years, Nina Lim has been at the centre of London’s alternative music scene. Having studied at Guildhall School of Music and Drama she established working relationships as a violinist with Black Country, New Road, Jockstrap, Geordie Greep and M.T Hadley. More broadly she has performed for more alternative pop musicians JADE and Little Simz and arranged strings for Holly Humberstone, and Anne Marie.
Through years of collaboration, touring, and session work, Nina has developed her craft right on theboundaries between pop and alternative. On her debut EP The Flowers I See You In, Ninush offers something emotionally resonant, rich in character and playfully kaleidscopic.

Made in close collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Sam Tsang (Bon Iver, Griff, Chloe Qisha), the pair work freely and without constraint. All The Flowers I See You In may have Pop sensibilities, but could hardly be described as a Pop record. Lim is far more concerned with creating exciting, intricate worlds to explore.

Slam Dunk Presents…

Imagine this: you’re standing at the train tracks and a freight train loaded with a bunch of cheeky  daredevils comes at you full throttle. Someone’s half hanging out the open carriage, reaching out  an arm for you to hold on to - inviting you to hop on for the ride of your life.  That’s what it feels like to be thrown into the sonic world of PLAIINS.  

Founded during the pandemic that held the globe in a standstill by frontman Chris, the Brit and  his two German bandmates create a moving sound that’s informed by their deep love for  alternative, punk and indie. Naturally, their 2025 debut album HAPPY FACES is full of playful riffs  and dancey grooves - paired with witty lyrics that manage to talk about social issues and all-too human struggles without ever taking themselves too seriously.  

Inspiration for the trio comes from bands like Queens Of The Stone Age, IDLES, Viagra Boys and  Fontaines D.C., but also from personal life, politics and pop culture. On lead single ROW SHE  SAID, for example, singer Chris draws from his experience with the aftermath of Brexit and the  rise of right-wing, nationalist politics both in his home country, the UK, and in his adopted home  Germany. Set to the background of heavy hitting, hard riffs and driving verses, this is an example  of the more serious moments on the album. It shows a band that believes in the importance of  taking a clear stance. 

Contrasting, the playfully teasing SPORTS BAR pokes light-hearted fun at long nights watching  football games at the local pubs, a tradition that is ever-present both in the UK and Germany. The  shout-along chorus with a groove reminiscing of The Hives at their greatest puts you right there,  arm over shoulder with your best mates, shouting at the TV hung above the bar. 

PLAIINS is not a band that limits itself to any one genre or topic. Still, their sonic identity is clear  cut and recognisable. Even though they just released their debut album, they already made a  name for themselves as one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands. Not least because of  their ferocious power-washer of a live show that leaves no body unmoved, whether at their  headline shows or on tour with Press Club, LEAP or Itchy. 

So stop standing around and hop on already, mate!

Freyja Blevins current member of loud electro noise rock band Bathing Suits, comes to the stage alone with only but her drum machine, singing to indescript noises and deconstructed resampled jazz beats reminiscent of an old tape recording from a far away smokey city.

Hyde Park Book Club & Hapless Museum Worker present...  

The Primitives emerged from the UK independent music scene of the mid-1980s with a sound that distilled the shimmering guitar chime of The Byrds, the buzzsaw style of The Ramones and 60's girl group melodies into two-and-a-half-minute pop gems.

After topping the indie singles chart several times, their widely acclaimed first album, Lovely, made them one of the UK’s most revered alternative rock acts, while the international success of the single “Crash” saw them cross over to a mass audience. Further chart success followed, along with two more studio albums, Pure and Galore, plus extensive tours of Europe and the US, before the band called it a day in 1992.

In 2008, Mojo Magazine named The Primitives’ second single “Really Stupid” one of the top 40 greatest UK indie singles of all time.

The band were reunited in 2009 by the untimely passing of their original bass player Steve Dullaghan, reforming to play a show in his memory later that year in their hometown Coventry; their first time on stage together for 17 years. Bolstered by the success of this and of a secret show in London, they went on to tour the UK in April 2010, followed by shows in the US and Europe.

In 2011 The Primitives released the Never Kill A Secret EP through Fortuna Pop! The record featured two brand new songs and two covers of female fronted pop obscurities, the latter two being a taster for the covers album Echoes and Rhymes, released on Elefant records in 2012.

An album of new original Primitives songs entitled Spin-O-Rama was released in 2014 and was showered with lavish praise; the general opinion being that it sounded like an alternative follow-up to their classic 1988 debut album Lovely.

In 2025 Elefant Records put out the double vinyl collection Let’s Go Round Again - Second Wave Singles & Rarities 2011 - 2025, featuring new material along with all of the A sides, B sides and miscellaneous tracks that the band have released over the past 14 years.

Since reforming The Primitives have toured the UK multiple times, performed all around Europe and paid several visits to the US and Japan.

The current line-up of the band includes original members Tracy Tracy (vocals), Paul Court (guitar/vocals) and Tig Williams (drums).

Mat Hunsley is a Newcastle-based songwriter blending folk and alternative influences into an intimate, reflective sound. After years balancing music with medical training, he steps forward with his debut album, supported by the PRS Open Fund.

Rooted in personal and universal themes, his writing invites listeners to slow down and take stock. Inspired in his late teens by artists like Ben Howard, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Bon Iver, he taught himself guitar, exploring open tunings and colourful chords that define his style.

The Things We Need is a personal yet outward‑looking record, balancing family reflection with wider social themes. Its title track, written during a period of overwhelm, anchors the album with the reminder that “though our lives are quite small, they are full of the things we need.'

After a long hiatus, the 4 piece recently recorded and released a new album of euphoric anthems in 2025.

Brudenell Presents...

The queer vegan shitpunks, Joe & The Shitboys, formed with the intention of calling out shitty behaviour in the conservative Faroe Islands, where the rock scene is filled with boneless homophobes and meat-eating misogynists - and continue to take their aim at general vibe killers everywhere.

The live shows are full of energy, with a barrage of songs often under a minute long, like “Save The Planet You Dumb Shit”, "Life Is Great You Suck" and “If You Believe in Eating Meat Start With Your Dog”, being broken up by the flamboyant frontman roasting the audience relentlessly.

The band (Joe, Ziggy Shit, Johnny Shit and Ollie Shit) have played every type of venue there is; roof tops, public toilets, opening ceremonies for North Atlantic sub sea tunnels, museums and skateparks, and have also appeared on their fair share of major festival line ups around Europe and North America.

To date the band have released three albums, ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes’, ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes Again’, and ‘The Reson For Hardcore Vibes III’ - all receiving critical acclaim despite their modest and unconventional (aka punk) 10 minute total run time.

Among their numerous and vocal champions, Iggy Pop has recently hailed Joe & The Shitboys as the most exciting band in the world right now - and he’s not just talking. After using the band’s new single ‘MR. NOBODY’ as his walk-out music for a number of shows, he’s now invited them to join his 2025 UK tour, including a massive show at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace. As a long-standing advocate for the band, Iggy has played their output extensively on his BBC Radio 6 Music show, but his support goes even further. In his NME cover feature, he revealed that he played their music to Blink-182’s Travis Barker before he laid down the drums for album track ‘Neo Punk’ and even shared his admiration for the band with none other than Rick Rubin on the Broken Record podcast.

For those seeking further justification for hardcore vibes, Joe & The Shitboys promise more new music, more raucous live shows and more polite advice on how to live your life in 2025.

Pixie McCann makes ethereal “weird music for weird girls,” pairing haunting vocals with intricate live-looped performances that have built a deeply engaged online following and millions of likes across her socials.

She started busking when she was just 11 years old and her immersive live shows have quickly translated online momentum into real-world demand, earning her a support slot with Erin LeCount on her UK tour alongside slots at The Great Escape, Truck, Latitude and Boardmasters this year. 

A devoted fanbase drawn to her otherworldly sound and intimate, whimsical world-building congregates in ‘Pixie Hollow’, a Discord community of over 840 superfans who join regular Zoom and in-person meetups and even share in her creative process through a collaborative Pinterest board.

Having written, produced and managed herself up until now, her next release Deja Vu sees her elevate her sound with additional production from Joel Pott (London Grammar, Shura, Joy Crookes, George Ezra). The track came from a recording Pixie took on her walk home after a night out at 5am, capturing birds and passing cars, which she built the song around in a couple of hours. 

“I wanted it to sound like dawn. It’s about a codependent relationship where two people can’t escape each other. Not being able to cope on your own and relapsing into someone who is bad for you but comfortable.’

Brudenell Presents…

Once again channeling the rawness of the North East coast, Pit Pony return with their second album Dead Stars. Set to release on 7 February 2024 via Clue Records / EMI North, the album sees the band meld a myriad of influences from 50s doo-wop to heavy rock while frontwoman Jackie Purver navigates the complexities of modern life. A broader and more ambitious, but yet wholly cohesive follow up to their debut album World To Me, Dead Stars promises to reveal infinitely finer details with each listen.

Fiercely honest, Jackie’s lyricism portrays an intense duality and a vulnerability that is instantly relatable. Turning inwards to explore notions of motherhood, imposter syndrome and getting older, while simultaneously outwards through commentary on the cost of living, polluted water, the constant sell on social media and the ‘off menu’ Starbucks coffee obsession.

With the band citing the recent influences of Blue Weekend and Skinty Fia alongside the likes of Can and the soundtracks of Ennio Moriconne, mastering engineer Christian Wright (Wolf Alice, Fontaines D.C., Pigs x7) proves the perfect fit with Chris McManus (Blank Studios) heading up recording & production. Sonically, Pit Pony remain loyal to their roots, noting the influence of regional titans Nadine Shah and The Futureheads and with the “ENGLISH ACCENT god damn it” reminder on PJ Harvey’s Uh Huh Her in mind, Jackie Purver stays true to her accent.

Dead Stars sees Pit Pony deliver an expanded but yet more balanced and personal conception of their craft. Garth Purver explains that the band were aiming for a more rounded and complete record “that showcased multiple sides to us but hung together as one piece of work rather than a collection of separate tracks.” While Andrew Jones mentions how the band “encouraged each other to pull on those strands and incorporate more of our personal taste in the sound”.

Kelley Stoltz is an American songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and DIY innovator whose career stretches back to the late 1990s, when he began self-recording lush, psych-tinged pop and garage rock in his San Francisco home studio. Born in New York City in 1971, and raised in Michigan, Stoltz has released a remarkable catalog of albums on labels including Sub Pop, Third Man, and Castle Face Records often playing all of the instruments himself and drawing comparisons to the melodic craftsmanship of the major 60's pop auteurs and the quirkiness of lesser known 80's power-pop & new wave.


After issuing his 18th album, La Fleur in 2024 to critical notice, he returns in 2026 with his 19th full-length release, If You Don't Know Me, Buy Now, a collection that continues his long exploration of hook-laden psych-pop, introspective lyrics, and richly textured arrangements that both honor his influences and push his sound forward, reinforcing his status as one of the most prolific and singular voices in underground rock.   Guests Brigid Dawson of the Osees, Karina Denike of Dance Hall Crashers, Pete Straus of the Dwarves and Allyson Baker of Dirty Ghosts and other guests provide backing vocals on several tracks.


Long a favorite of MOJO, Brooklyn Vegan, and John Dwyer... Stoltz is also a onetime Echo & the Bunnymen rhythm guitarist and currently Robyn Hitchcock's West Coast drummer.   Stoltz is also now the host of legendary radio station KEXPs weekly Bay Area Music spotlight show, "Vinelands".


An extensive UK & European tour is scheduled for October - November 2026, with a key appearance live in session for Marc Riley on his BBC 6 Music show. West Coast USA dates to be announced.


If You Don't Know Me, Buy Now will be released in May 2026 on LP & CD by Agitated Records in UK & Europe and Dandy Boy Records in the USA.

Pablo's Paintings

Formed in 2018 by long-time collaborators Matt Allison, Dom Richmond, and Jon
Richmond, the band's roots lie in a shared love of 60s garage, outsider folk, and
avant-garde pop. Originally conceived as an outlet for unfinished ideas, Pablo's
Paintings quickly developed into a distinctive project marked by melodic songwriting,
lush vocal harmonies, and surreal, tongue-in-cheek storytelling.

Strange Days presents…

A diarist at heart, Blossom writes to make sense of the world around her — documenting experiences rather than getting stuck in them. ‘Waxing Lyrical’ is a tongue-in-cheek reflection on over-analysing a relationship long after it’s ended, transforming heartbreak into something theatrical, witty and quietly cathartic. Speaking about the single, Blossom says: 

“Waxing Lyrical got its name because I'm literally sick of talking about the situation, and the person I wrote it about loved the sound of their own voice - like actually wouldn’t stop. 

"Imagine it’s summer, you’re in a hot, sticky flat and you’re getting to know someone and they’re driving you mad, but you can’t leave each other alone. I’m singing about that sort of chaos. It makes me laugh now, I love it.

Brudenell Presents…

With Iguana Death Cult’s latest iteration, the band laments on personal stories of hardship and doubt whilst fixing their gaze on the burning world around them. Guitars, percussion, synths and a whole lot of soul-searching is all that Iguana Death Cult needed for their recent resurrection. As part of a personnel change the band gained a strong new line-up, including the dazzlingly virtuous drummer Uri Rennert (previously in Häxxan and Brian Jonestown Massacre). This new era of Iguana Death Cult’s existence is channeling their earlier punk and garage style while simutanously feeling unmistakeably like a product of today. It is characterised by razorsharp and highly rythmic riffing by Tobias Opschoor and the relentless drumming by Uri Rennert. By the ever-groovy and effortlessly cool percussion and synths by Jimmy de Kok and by the hefty yet heartfelt voice of frontman Jeroen Reek, guiding the listener through feelings of despair, anger and solace, in that very order. Iguana Death Cult is a band who have made quite the miles in the last decade. Started as a group of young friends in 2014 wanting to make rock ‘n roll, the band has risen to great heights including touring with Osees, Frankie and the Witchfingers, supporting Jack White, playing SXSW, Levitation Festival and Desert Daze and doing multiple successful US tours. On their new record Guns Out, released via Greenway Records, Iguana Death Cult is excersing self-reflection on multiple levels: by breaking with the more indie-like, art-punk-funk sound of their previous album (Echo Palace, released through Innovative Leisure in 2023), returning to a more ‘in your face’ punchy garage rock style. Secondly, by confronting a behaviour of escapism, and the toll that way of living takes on the self. And finally by ways of questioning their ways of writing music, returning to a faster, more spontaneous process. Guns Out is an album that’s tough and rigid on the outside but soft and contemplative on the inside. Moreover, it is the story of a band coming to terms with their own existence in the world they live in.

Paul Marshall returns to the stage for a rare live performance-his first in over a decade-celebrating 20 years since the release of his debut album Vultures. Performing under his own name rather than the Lone Wolf moniker he retired in 2016, this special show will span songs from across his career, including material written as Lone Wolf.

Brudenell Presents…

Modern Woman, the London art-rock outfit fronted by primary songwriter Sophie Harris, are set to release their anticipated debut album ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ on May 1st 2026 via their new label One Little Independent Records. ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ represents the culmination of Modern Woman’s journey from Harris’s early, intimate songwriting project into a full-bodied band capable of folding post-punk, avant-garde, and folk traditions into a live force of dynamic originality. At its heart, the record explores the strange poetry buried within the ordinary. Harris’s lyrics, steeped in literary detail and filmic atmosphere, draw from a fascination with the dark underbelly of the everyday and the contradictions of womanhood.

Harris explains, “A vital theme I’ve always wanted in Modern Woman is the idea of conflicting things, of the tender/harsh, loud/quiet and scrappy/polished. The style of everybody’s playing, drawing from a melting pot of influences, coming together to form something new.”

Modern Woman’s sound emerged from years of creative refinement. The band coalesced when Harris met violinist and composer David Denyer, who brought a background in experimental composition and textural sound work. Joined by Juan Brint-Gutiérrez on bass and saxophone and Adam Blackhurst on drums, the group forged a style that values the contrasting harsh edges of folk lyricism and noise that collides with melody. Working with producer Joel Burton (Naima Bock, Katy J Pearson, Vanishing Twin), they found a live immediacy that channels the raw intensity of their performances into a sound that is both rich and unpredictable.

Hailing from the Isle of Man via the uncomfortable shingles of Brighton beach, Penelope Isles resurface-shimming in sunlight and shadow.

Three years since their last show, life has quietly reshaped everything. Two solo records released into the world, new bands formed, old rhythms broken, and a magnetic pull back toward each other that couldn't be ignored - Penny Isles' sound remains unmistakable-fuzz-drenched, melody-rich, and charged with feeling. Now expanded into a true three-piece with drummer Joe Taylor, Penelope Isles sound bigger, looser, and more alive than ever. Guitars shimmer and collide, harmonies ache and lift, drums crash like eerie weather rolling in fast off the coast. The Wolter siblings write songs like postcards from somewhere just out of reach-Brighton seafront flats, off-kilter restaurants, memories half-burned in the sun. Beautiful, fragile, and always on the edge of slipping away. 

Still obsessed with love, heartbreak, and what lingers after, Penelope Isles are at their most open, luminous, and unsteady. And everything feels like it's moving again.

Norwegian singer songwriter Maren Davidsen returns to the UK this autumn with her debut album This Is Where I Leave You. Originally from Norway, Maren moved to London to pursue her music career, and now returns with a deeply personal record that has already begun attracting international attention.

This Is Where I Leave You is a vulnerable and intimate album about losing yourself in a relationship, and finding your way back. The songs explore love, heartbreak, self-worth and the difficult process of leaving behind not only another person, but also old patterns and a version of yourself you have outgrown.

After spending years 9 living and making music in London, Maren now brings the album back to the UK for a series of intimate shows this autumn.

Just when Sean Solomon thought he was out, they pulled him back in. The songwriter had stepped away from the mic, making the difficult decision with his bandmates to put his Sub Pop-signed band Moaning on indefinite hiatus and recalibrate. He poured himself into animation — an obsession and dream job that quickly became a reality. He made music videos for Run The Jewels and Unknown Mortal Orchestra and CHAI and Odd Future. He was living a dream, but it was only part of the dream. He still heard chords when he went to bed, ached for the feeling that artists like Elliott Smith, The Microphones, and Neutral Milk Hotel gave him.

The itch returned, so he started writing again during the pandemic. He couldn’t imagine a life without songwriting, but he pursued it free from the expectations that come alongside a career in the industry. It allowed him to make music that felt closer to his ideal self than ever before. “That's when it clicked and I started making this kind of music where I didn’t give a shit what anyone thinks.”

One of the songs he recorded with producer Jarvis Taveniere (Whitney, Purple Mountains, Waxahatchee), was a track called “Car Crash.” It was inspired by his unwillingness to drive, despite being from Los Angeles — facing his fears and learning how to navigate an automobile, then getting in a horrifying wreck that was completely his fault.

After writing and recording, Solomon was restless enough to simply drop a live performance video online without fanfare. His entire life changed. Almost immediately after being released, the song had found a massive audience; his audience. The simple guitar melody and raw, in your face vocal performance resonated with people everywhere. “Life is chaos, love is pain,” Solomon sings. The chorus, which features Shannon Lay, is short but packs a mighty punch. “I think people are reacting to the sincerity and honesty. I’m just being myself,” Solomon speculates. Everything is algorithmically curated, and “Car Crash” feels like the exact opposite — a spur of the moment flash of brilliance. It’s vulnerable and you can hear the feelings Solomon works through as he sings. It’s a splash of cold water on a hot day.

It’s a tale so morally-driven that it belongs in a self-help book. “Follow your dreams, honor your vision, and good shit happens.” More like, work your ass off for a decade honing the voice you’ve always heard in your head, follow the light that keeps you up at night. Then, just maybe, you might find your fan base. That fan base might be 10 hardcore devotees, or millions of views across social media.

As for “Car Crash,” Sean had no idea it would resonate with people the way it has. “Kids were covering the song before it was even released. It’s so touching. It’s amazing,” he marvels, before hedging his bets: “This was all a surprise. I'll take what I can get.”

Grace Cummings brings her most ambitious and unsettling work to Europe and the UK this November. Bloodhorse! — out August 14th via ATO Records — is the fourth album from the Melbourne-born singer-songwriter, and it arrives as a bold leap into new territory. Recorded in Topanga Canyon with GRAMMY-nominated producer Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Angel Olsen, Margo Price), the record finds Cummings pushing her extraordinary voice — that deep, feral, stop-you-in-your-tracks alto — into music that shudders with synths, tense strings, and woozy grooves alongside the campfire intimacy she built her reputation on.
Where Ramona opened up her world, Bloodhorse! plunges into the dark of it. Themes of life, death, agency, and self-examination pulse through an album that is by turns lush and violent, confessional and defiant. It's music that feels as much as it sounds.

Following a run of European dates supporting Father John Misty and a sold-out London headline show at The George Tavern, Cummings will bring Bloodhorse! to life with her full band this fall. Not to be missed.

Melbourne’s Delivery have made a name for themselves with their brand of caustic, mutant garage-punk that sounds like the sun-baked desert vistas that populate Mad Max films (according to Brooklyn Vegan at least).

It’s been a hot sec since they returned to the EU/UK, and even longer since their last release - 2025’s “Force Majeure” via Heavenly Recordings, which plays like its title suggests; an unstoppable force of an album that hits like a battering ram and doubles as a calling card from your new favourite rock’n’roll band.

If their electric live show is anything to go by, Delivery aren’t ones to sit still for long, and with a run of sweaty bandroom shows on the cards it’s a safe bet to assume they’re up to something... what exactly that is remains to be seen.

Brudenell Presents….

Pinpointing the specific catalyst for an avalanche can be slippery — any combination of classic elements, human interference, or freak accident can trigger disaster — and documenting these precise moments often rests on serendipitous reflexes. On Two Wheels Move the Soul, Robber Robber offer themselves as ignition and capture every sound in the wake. Involuntarily thrust into the throws of rootless nomadism, Robber Robber ringleader Nina Cates collects a series of pressurized vignettes to assemble the Burlington quartet’s thrillingly explosive sophomore album.

Two Wheels Move the Soul was written and recorded throughout the winter of 2024 and 2025, a season of Cates’ life characterized by near-constant upheaval. In January of 2025, Cates (and Robber Robber co-founder) Zack James were displaced from their longtime home at the behest of a landlord’s call to have their building demolished. In a moment’s notice — and amidst a particularly brutal Vermont winter — Cates and James were left to fend for themselves. Luckily, the two were able to tap a deep well of support within their community, finding respite on the couches of Lily Seabird, Greg Freeman, and Thus Love’s Echo Mars. An unused attic provided their longest arrangement.

The personal and economic chaos of living at the mercy of nameless powers-that-be redirected into a hyperfocused attention on Two Wheels Move the Soul. Returning to Little Jamaica Studios — one of the sites for their acclaimed debut Wild Guess — Cates, James, guitarist Will Krulak and bassist Carney Hemler hunkered down with their trusted engineer Benny Yurco. The familiarity between the cast of characters allowed the studio to become a sanctuary, and foregrounded Two Wheels Move The Soul’s constant foray into sonically adventurous terrain. “Everywhere else that we had to be, we were very much visitors,” James recalls. “When we were working on the record, it was nice because it felt like this is our space.” Still, an overwhelming sense of impending doom hangs over Two Wheels Move the Soul. Every scribble on the guitar thins the air, each stab of percussion and wave of distortion makes it that much harder to breathe.

On Two Wheels Move the Soul, landslides come early and the news of their arrival is just as chilly. Propelled by Cates’ nonchalant bars — inspired by the effortlessly-cool cadence of Gucci Mane and Lou Reed — Two Wheels Move the Soul saunters in and out of frame with the implicit assurance that any gaze will follow. Album opener and lead single “The Sound It Made” rattles into existence, eschewing exposition to plunge directly in the deep end. The polarized extremities of Robber Robber’s sonic palette fuse throughout Two Wheels Move the Soul, spanning post-punk scorchers, burnt-out slacker anthems, and melodies that sweeten the bitter pills stomached along the way. “Yes I know, gotta work for my pay,” Cates exhales on standout “New Year’s Eve,” a swaggering depiction of life’s myriad impediments. “I’m tired, so is everyone - how can I complain?” Cates wastes no time indulging in the miseries of late-stage capitalism, opting instead to resolve casual disappointment with a cool composure. “What more is there to do?,” Cates asks on “Pieces,” the slow-burning b-side intro that plainly lays out what happens when your life falls apart: “you’ll end up with a piece.”

Working through the discomfort of class, upheaval, and catastrophe is a central philosophy on Two Wheels Move the Soul. “You can leave it, but it follows you home,” Cates buries beneath incendiary bursts on “It’s Perfect Out Here in the Sun.” Easy to miss, it is a possible catalyst nonetheless. In the midst of the avalanche itself, the sparks ignited throughout Two Wheels Move the Soul fall by the wayside, and all that’s left is the wreck. “Upend, upend,” Cates intones atop kinetic and relentless instrumentation. Then the pressure cracks again. “So we dance.”

Keg have been experimenting with their sound ever since their conception. Over the 6 years as a band they have garnered attention for their frenetic live performances and unwavering commitment to not settling on one sound. Their new album 'Relaxing Near the Hospital' only further cements this ideology. At once tender and vitriolic the album is full of contradiction, each song taking a sojourn into their myriad of influences. From hefty chunks of hardcore, to Steely Dan leaning croonerish tracks the album is reminiscent of Ween in its commitment to an noncommittal sound. What feels new is a level of vulnerability which has often been hinted at in previous releases, but here feels fully established.

The band have released two critically acclaimed EPs 'Assembly' (2021) and 'Girders' (2022), garnering attention from Loud and Quiet, NME, Dork, So Young and support from BBC radio 6 and Radio X. DIY are real champions of the band, awarding them a slot in their prestigious Class of 2023. Their debut album 'Fun's Over' charted in the top 75 in the overall album charts, 10 in Record store charts and in the top 25 in Independent Album charts, received several 4/5 and 8/10 reviews including "Marks the beginnings of a group aiming for the big leagues" - Sound of Violence ****

It is the live arena, where KEG is understood best, they've earnt their stripes at Greenman (Big Top), Latitude (Sunrise Arena), Sur Le Sac (CH), Sacred Ground (DE), End of The Road (Big Top), Dour Festival (BE), Vida Festival (ES) and built a loyal following of fans across the UK and Europe.

Gabriella Cilmi’s return with the single ‘Pure Love’ earlier this year reminded us of the limitless charms of the ‘Sweet About Me’ hitmaker - and in the process proved that she had much more to offer. The song was premiered by Gary Davies on Radio 2, while Gabriella’s rediscovery continued with a packed show at The Great Escape as well as a nationwide tour as special guest to Beverley Knight. Now that comeback hits a new peak as she announces that her new album ‘Pure Love’ will be released on 9th October 2026 and is accompanied by the release of the new single ‘YRU Hanging Around’ out today. Listen HERE. Watch the official video HERE.

‘Pure Love’ is a record she made having discovered the confidence and freedom to make exactly the kind of album she wants to make: a soulful organic one, on which she could sing from the heart. And it’s certainly worth the wait, a triumphant return in which her warm, throaty, unmistakably expressive contralto wraps itself around the deep soul, jazz and classic rock that has always been closest to her heart.

Their influences, which range from American Football to Burial, Steve Reich to J Dilla, are mixed up in a minestrone of sounds. The songs, with these vivid textural patterns, gossamer-thin layers of audio competing and commingling to create these magical, melody-rich results. Big fans of sampling, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where they begin and Adam’s voice or Oskar’s beats end. And that’s how they like it.

La'l Tethera, based in the rainy Lakeland Fells, combine broad, textural arrangements with close vocal harmony, to create a tight and intentional sound, full of groove, grit and lilt. They bring a deep-rooted knowledge of English folk to a globally inspired repertoire.

Known for their delicate harmonies, immersive arrangements, and a sound described as “ethereal and understated” (BBC Radio 6), they create songs that feel both intimate and cinematic. Critics have called their work “hypnotic... crafting a meditative spell” (Obscure Sound) and “intricately lush and completely captivating” (Podcart).

The Norwich-based band began 2026 with an immersive and isolated creative retreat in the mountains. They now have a new album set for release on November 13th 2026. This show is part of their UK album release tour, where songs from the new album will be performed for the first time alongside a few old favourites. This tour follows on from their 2025 tour which sold out multiple shows around the UK, and the release of their record ‘Orbital Collection'. The Rabbitts are an ever-evolving group who are constantly creating and rarely staying still.

Driven Serious is undoubtedly one of the most engaging, energetic,
original live folk-rock acts in the UK today.

Driven Serious new album: "Look On These Works is an incredibly
engaging listen, whether it’s the monumental sounding strings that
carry us through this adventure, or the war-like drums at the start of
the title track, it’s an impressive experience." - Narc

Driven Serious performance: " I suppose you could file Driven Serious
under the banner of folk-rock; but they are so much more than that.
They have a vibrancy that you can virtually see thrumming off them
when they play, passionate and with the hand-brake well and truly off,
and with a vibe that has had people likening them to The Levellers to
The Pogues to The Smiths to The Wonderstuff" – The Crack

The Sick Man Of Europe is dedicated to the art of repetition, precision and conviction, with echoes of the post-punk and European art rock pioneers at the cusp of the 80s re-tooled for the present. Second album The Intermittent Signal follows 2025’s self-titled debut and raises the stakes. This is the sound of resistance, with arrangements that have moved beyond the bare bones economy of the first record to find new levels of intensity. Clarity and conviction ring true through the static and noise, while utopian ideas to remodel a broken system gain traction.

The Sick Man Of Europe has built a reputation for uncompromising live shows which blur the lines between audience and performer, and have fostered a growing and loyal following. The desire for more visceral experiences beyond those viewed on a screen is a natural reaction to technology’s flattening of culture and TSMOE attempts to articulate an alternative while providing the soundtrack to make you want to move.

“Blends pulsating motorik beats, nagging basslines and droning electronics into all-consuming atmospheres. Fronted by foreboding vocals that sit somewhere between Ian Curtis’ melancholic baritone and something more experimental, phrases are repeated over and over like mantras, slowly building in intensity until the words take on entirely new meanings” Electronic Sound

“The Sick Man Of Europe blend Krautrock aspects with charred remains of post-punk, tying this together by tapping into the UK’s current dystopian darkness” Clash

“If you dig danceable post-punk, give this a spin” Brooklyn Vegan

“Coldwave for hot days” Bandcamp

“We have one of the great new British live bands on our hands” Juno Daily

Or Sobre Blau is the duo of Andreu G. Serra (aka Ubaldo) and Kiran Leonard. In 2017, having moved to Lisbon within a couple of weeks of each other by chance, they began to improvise on the guitar together, quickly developing a fragmentary style that drew on their distinct yet complementary approaches to their instrument: Serra's rasping, wildly idiosyncratic lead lines spilling over looping beds of tape manipulation and ebow, and Leonard's contrastingly traditional, no-pedals counterpoint and hyperactive melodies. These early encounters were documented on “the Piri Piri Samplers”, first released on cassette by Memorials of Distinction in 2019 and reissued by STROOM in 2024.

Some years later, they decided to make a new record: the resulting "Making Friends" (STROOM, 2026), a huge leap forward in ambition and focus, sees the duo writing songs together for the first time, adding several new instruments (cittern, winds, drums, bells, harmonica, samplers, etc), and often singing in their native Catalan and English simultaneously. Darting between misshapen free blues, chamber folk, blasted-out drone feedback, and whatever the two can throw at each other or find lying in between, "Making Friends" is a reflection on a decade of friendship, and a vivid document of an eclectic, sometimes chaotic, and inspired musical dialogue.

Sitting at the core of Melbourne’s thriving movement of cinematic instrumental soul are Karate Boogaloo. KayBee’s roots go deep into the DIY soul idiom; Henry Jenkins, Hudson Whitlock, Callum Riley and Darvid Thor have been playing funk together since their playground days. Meeting as high school preteens, these four friends explored the teachings of the great small combo instrumental bands à la Booker T & The MG’s and The Meters. With these lessons in one hand and their characteristic sense of goofy humor in the other, the ensuing years saw Karate Boogaloo develop the kind of shared musical language that can only be built through countless hours spent together existing as friends and musical allies.

Somehow, 2024 saw the 30th anniversary of the birth of Glasgow, Scotland’s Disco/Punk legends bis. 2025 sees them move in their fourth decade of a rollercoaster existence. A whirlwind first 18 months saw them go from playing to a handful of curious future fans in Glasgow basements to peak-time TV stardom on Top of the Pops and filling huge tents at festivals across Europe all while still teenagers. While the UK media was in equal parts enamoured and horrified by the unorthodox musical DNA of the band, their knack for a nagging melody, unrelenting energy and wide-eyed politics saw them hit big in Japan, nearly breakthrough in America where they had label support from the Beastie Boys and touring with a diverse range of acts reflecting the disparate range of influences the band had – Foo Fighters, The Cardigans, Bikini Kill and Pavement to name but a few. Whilst perhaps best known for early Riot-Grrrl influenced hit ‘Kandy Pop’ or the later slick Techno-Pop of ‘Eurodisco’, the band are also known worldwide as creators of the original theme to ‘The Powerpuff Girls’ cartoon and for the appearance of ‘Statement of Intent’ on the soundtrack to the ‘Jet Set Future’ videogame.

After 3 albums and countless singles, the band temporarily called it a day in 2003, frustrated by record label struggles. They would reunite occasionally (an Islington Academy sellout in 2007 and a triumphant Primavera in 2012 amongst others) but returned with renewed vigour in 2019 with the ‘Slight Disconnects’ album and again in 2022 with the Rave-influenced ‘Systems Music For Home Defence’.

As part of the 30 year anniversary celebrations, the band performed a stand-out sell-out show at Glasgow’s iconic St Luke’s which gathered fans from around the globe as well as respect contemporaries like Mogwai and Franz Ferdinand. With their reputation as a must-see live band gathering pace even now, upcoming shows in 2025 will provide a real treat for hardcore fans and newcomers alike.”

21st-century mod Cian Downing and his backing band will hit the road again in 2027 to promote the release of Cian's second album, No Place to be Young.

Cian is a DIY artist with no management, booking agent or record label, and is putting on this tour entirely by himself, so remember, every single ticket purchase goes back to the musicians performing on the night.

Support comes from the fantastic Scarlett Fever, a young mod revival 4-piece from Crewe, Cheshire, who will bring plenty of energy and attitude, and certainly get the crowd going.
