Shady Nasty subvert expectations. In a world bound by modded cars, immigrant heritage and digital obsessions, Kevin Stathis, Haydn Green and Luca Watson craft a left-field breed of punk that pushes their formal training in jazz and classical music to its most uncustomary extremes. Influences like King Krule, Low Life and Show Me The Body surface not as reference points, but as undercurrents - absorbed and reconfigured into something idiosyncratic and distinctly their own.

Early EPs Bad Posture and CLUBSMOKE earned praise from The Guardian, NME, Kerrang!, The Line of Best Fit, DIY, Stereogum and VICE, each showcasing immersive world-building that has shaped a consistent voice over the past seven years.

Marked by a distinctive harbour-city twang, TREK - their long-awaited debut album - grapples with the less-than-glamorous hard graft of staying afloat while remaining creatively uncompromised in Sydney. Produced by Kim Moyes of The Presets, the record ventures into more textured, exploratory territory than ever before. Four months in, it's resonated with longtime fans and newcomers alike, earning acclaim from FBi Radio (Album of the Week), RTR FM (Feature Album), triple j Unearthed (Feature Artist), NME Magazine, Ones to Watch and more.

Recently, the group has shared stages with Skeleten, Shame, High Vis, Ho99o9, Sleaford Mods, Gustaf, Amyl and The Sniffers, among others. Through their own headline shows, they've cultivated a cult following across Sydney's underground - including a sold-out run of album shows earlier this April. No matter the venue, no matter the bill, devout adherents clamber to fuel a heaving mosh.

Live Nation Presents

“She’s got an album coming out…pick it up, you won’t believe your ears!” That’s how music industry icon Steven Tyler of Aerosmith praised the work of visionary artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Alyssa Bonagura. “An outstanding artist” is how legendary BBC radio presenter Bob Harris describes her. Those and other endorsements of merit along with Alyssa’s overall body of work, have led to her reputation as a powerhouse musical talent on the rise, placing her squarely in the spotlight as one of the best break through artists country music has to offer. Alyssa has over 25 million streams, 15 million U.S. radio impressions, and is a CMT Next Women of Country artist.

Born and raised in Nashville, Alyssa has spent the past decade fine-tuning a sound for her critically acclaimed solo career that leverages her Nashville roots while reaching far beyond. Her sound is every bit as diverse as her own story as evidenced by any number of both esteemed and rising artists who’ve sought her talents in collaboration. A lifelong road warrior who grew up on a tour bus with her country music parents Baillie & The Boys, she recorded a duet with Kenny Rogers at 10 years old and received her college diploma from Sir Paul McCartney at LIPA in Liverpool.

Brudenell Presents...

Melanie Baker makes music about everything that hurts and everything that feels just right. Based in Newcastle (UK), she writes with unflinching honesty — songs that sway between noisy catharsis and quiet confession, between absurd humour and deep vulnerability. With pounding drums, fuzzy guitars, and tender lyrical precision, Baker reclaims the grit and spirit of ’90s alt-rock through a queer, modern lens.

Her world is a blend of chaos and compassion, where anxiety, anger, love and laughter coexist in equal measure. She builds her songs like comic-book panels of emotional truth: hearts pumping out of chests, steam whistling from collars, cartoon melancholy meeting genuine tenderness. Her music invites the listener to cry, laugh, and scream along — sometimes all at once.

Much of this universe — on stage, on the road, and at home — is seen through the lens of photographer and partner Ellen Dixon, who documents their life together in intimate, analog snapshots. The result is an ongoing portrait of a queer artist coming of age in the north of England: a scrapbook of van rides, small venues, backstage nerves, and private joy.

Live, Baker’s performances blur the line between theatre and therapy. Alongside drummer Adam Robson and multi-instrumentalist Jon Evans, she cracks jokes mid-breakdown, turns self-deprecation into community, and transforms unease into something radiant. What begins as personal confession often erupts into a roomful of strangers yelling the same truth at once.

Her work has been championed across BBC Radio 1, 2, and 6 Music, and her song “Double Decker Death Machine” featured on BBC TV’s Waterloo Road. But acclaim has never been the point. Baker’s art thrives in the messy, glorious space between pain and play — finding humour in heartbreak and hope in absurdity.

Melanie Baker doesn’t hide from the chaos of feeling; she invites it in, hands it a microphone, and makes it sing.

BMX Bandits

"If I could be in any other band, it would be BMX Bandits", Kurt Cobain.

"Britain's ultimate cult group", The Guardian.

"Gentle genius", Q magazine.

2026 marks the fortieth anniversary of the release of BMX bandits first single E102. BMX Bandits were formed in the ex-industrial town of Bellshill by songwriter and lead vocalist Duglas T Stewart out of the ashes of The Pretty Flowers, a group that featured Stewart alongside Frances McKee (The Vaselines), Sean Dickson (The Soup Dragons) and Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub).

BMX Bandits' songs blend melodic qualities and humour with, at times, raw and heartbreaking pathos. Duglas describes their songs as being his world put to music.

Starting with the exuberant E102 in 1986 BMX Bandits released a series of singles on Stephen Pastel's 53rd & 3rd label, where they were label mates with The Vaselines and Beat Happening. In the early nineties BMX Bandits joined Creation Records, home of Teenage Fanclub, My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream and many others. The group's most celebrated song is the autobiographical Serious Drugs, recorded in 1991 but not released until 1993. The song has since been covered and released by several other acts. Fellow Creation Records’ band Oasis did their first UK tour dates supporting the Bandits as a favour to Creation label boss Alan McGee.

In 2005 Stewart split with his long term musical partner Francis Macdonald. 2006 saw a new wave of concert activity and the release of one the group’s most acclaimed albums, My Chain. Stewart's writing on the album was compared to Brian Wilson, Michel Legrand, Ennio Morricone and even Alan Bennet. A highly acclaimed feature-length documentary called Serious Drugs

-

Duglas and the Music of BMX Bandits was premiered in Glasgow in 2011, followed by a series of international festival screenings and a DVD release. The film featured in Sight & Sound's top films of the year list. The band were prominently featured in the 2017 documentary film Teenage Superstars, the National Museum of Scotland’s major exhibition of 2018 Rip It Up, chronicling the history of Scottish Pop and Rock, and the accompanying BBC TV series. BMX Bandits are well known for their life affirming, celebrational live shows, inspiring smiles, laughter and tears. BMX Bandits have released 12 studio albums. Their most recent album Dreamers on the Run (2024) was declared by many as their strongest yet. Classic Rock magazine said "Against the odds, BMX Bandits have finally painted their masterpiece" and Uncut Magazine described it as “"a bold and seductive exploration of symphonic pop". Duglas T Stewart remains the only permanent member of BMX Bandits, band leader and chief songwriter. Over the years notable songwriting collaborators have included his old friend Norman Blake and Sean Dickson a.k.a. Hifi Sean, David Scott (The Pearlfishers) and Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. 2026 will see the release a career spanning “Best Of” album, newly recorded material and the

programme of reissues of their back catalogue continues with their 1997 lo-fi album Duglas Stewart’s Frankenstein being released on vinyl for the first time . The line-up of the group continues to be ever changing but the heart and soul of the Bandits remains the same, an extended musical family led by the inimitable Duglas.

Good Flying Birds is a jangly, noisy guitar-pop group from the Midwest, USA. The project began in December 2023 with a string of 4-track cassette recordings and stop-motion videos uploaded to YouTube under the name “Talulah God,” accompanied by a chaotic, GIF-filled website. Over the next few months, songs were uploaded regularly, eventually catching the attention of influential punk and DIY label head Martin Meyer.

In January 2025, Talulah’s Tape was released on Rotten Apple, compiling home recordings from 2020–2024. It showcased a wide-ranging love for independent guitar music, clever songwriting, and a charmingly scrappy, twee-punk aesthetic. The release found immediate underground acclaim, earning radio play and selling 300 cassettes in under a month.

Riding the momentum and building a reputation as a dynamic live act, the group attracted significant label interest, ultimately signing with Carpark and Smoking Room. Together, the labels re-released Talulah’s Tape on vinyl and streaming in October 2025. It has since seen glowing reviews from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Paste, Bandcamp, and landed in numerous "Best of 2025" lists.

Their sound nods to lo-fi icons like Guided By Voices, Beat Happening, DLIMC, Talulah Gosh, and The Vaselines, but carries a singular, earnest charm. It’s the sound of wide-eyed optimism in a cracked world—rosy cheeks, a tambourine in hand, and guitars ringing in all directions.

Brudenell Presents…

Molded in the fertile rock crescent of Columbus, Ohio, three-piece Golomb (rhymes with Column) channel Midwest friction into an album that seeks to find a genuine connection. The band boasts not one, but two bonded dynamics, something of an aberration among most trios. Siblings Xenia (bass) and Hawken (drums) tie down the rhythm section with songwriter/guitarist Mickey Shuman and Xenia turning their tags to spouse after years of dating. The close bonds between the members have fed into the band’s process — family and friends first and band second, leveraging years of trust to turn The Beat Goes On into an album that never wavers in its sincerity.
 
Bounding through bluster like Loop one minute and hunkered down like Pixies pummeling pop’s soft spots at Fort Apache the next. The underlying buzz on “Real Power” dips a few miles south of Columbus to channel Dayton’s favorite sons, stitching together some clear-eyed clamor from the GBV playbook. The band lays it bare on “Dog” with a slow slink that builds toward the singed elegance of Spiritualized and a lyrical labyrinth that’s cut and pasted into a Burroughs-esque blur of rock motifs. The song peaks in pure maelstrom with a glorious glut of feedback foaming out of the speakers. The familiar specter of The Velvets rears its head in the shambolic beat of the title track, and “Other Side Of The Earth” gets gooey with dub, but never loses the band’s ability to feed the fray. Then, they wind guitar around their rhythms with the grace of early Built To Spill on “Be Here Now,” letting the sax twirls of Henry Ross send the song into the ether.
 
 
Golomb was formed in 2019 by Mickey and Xenia. The couple briefly moved out of Ohio, before coming back in 2020 and settling into Xenia’s folks house. Hawken joined the fold and the trio began a working relationship with engineer Keith Hanlon, capping off a series of self-released recordings with the 3-song Love EP in 2024. Hanlon is behind the board for The Beat Goes On, recorded at Musicol and Secret Studio in Columbus, showcasing a bigger, bolder dynamic that captured the band’s live energy to tape. The album was then mixed by Drew Vandenberg at Chase Park Transductions in Athens, Georgia.

The Frank and Walters’ Paul Linehan is one of Ireland’s most talented and inspirational singer / songwriters.
The band originally became world famous on the ‘90s indie scene and have produced seven studio albums. Paul has lost none of his talent or motivation to produce fantastically crafted and catchy indie songs and continues to write new material to this day. The band also achieved a life-long ambition when they played with a full orchestra at the Cork Opera House.
Recently the band captured a whole new audience when their ‘90’s hit single ‘After All’ featured on the cult comedy show ‘The Young Offenders’ (the infamous ‘Billy Murphy’ bus hijack scene). And as well as being able to recall stories of Radiohead and Suede supporting the Frank and Walters on early tours, their recent single featured Peaky Blinders Cillian Murphy doing a voiceover on the track ‘Stages’.

A few years back, a collective of four close friends rallied together in a Northport, NY, attic, wrote a bunch of songs, hopped in a renovated school bus, and brought their music right to the people. Attracting a cult following, Arcy Drive’s signature brand of “attic rock” has resonated with fans and tastemakers alike, yielding nearly 100 million cumulative streams, amassing a combined following of 590K-plus on social media, packing endless sold-out shows, and attracting massive co-signs courtesy of Noah Kahan, Marcus Mumford, and more. The four-piece band—Nick Mateyunas, Austin Jones, Patrick Helrigel, and Brooke Tuozzo—have naturally evolved across a series of independent releases, including the live album Attic Sessions [2022], the Beach Plum EP [2023], and their first full-length offering The Pit [2025]. Emerging as a force of nature on stage, the group impressively sold out their 2025 North American headline run, The Pit Tour Pt. 1, graced the bills of festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands, and even shut down Los Angeles’s Venice Boardwalk with a pop-up show in front of 1k-plus fans. At this year’s Out of the Blue Festival, they hit the stage with Noah Kahan, Mumford, and Caamp—appearing four times in total throughout the day. Between launching The Pit Tour Pt. 2 in the United States and preparing for major festivals, including Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Borderland, Highwater, Rolling Stone’s Stateside Festival, Austin City Limits, and more, the band now makes their Atlantic Records debut with the release of “one'n a million” and more to come.

Renny approaches his music as a way to challenge convention by engaging his audience to do the same. The result is a collection of heartfelt songs that unravel differently with every listen. His new album has garnered press from Paste Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, and Fretboard Journal, hailing him as a singular new voice in contemporary indie music.

Gotobeat Presents…

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.

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.

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!

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).

Both as The Correspondents and a solo artist, Mr Bruce has achieved cult status for his live shows taking him as far as New Zealand, Australia and Chile where he played in front of audiences of over 10,000 fans, both old and new. Maniacal and balletic, his performance lands somewhere between contemporary dance and rave. 

Following a summer packed full of festival dates, Mr Bruce will venture throughout his home country for his largest ever headline tour in support of his highly anticipated debut album, OK, released on state51 on 15th May 2026.

OK is a multi-genre masterpiece produced by Angus Kemp spanning hyperpop, garage, hip hop and ambient with guest vocals from legendary musician Brian Eno, cult US rapper Homeboy Sandman and emerging UK talent HAM. Together they navigate the subjects of grief, protest and a love of the ocean with extraordinary energy, dexterity and depth.

Looking ahead to the tour this Autumn, Mr Bruce said “I have found over the years that gigs/clubs/festivals that I’ve played have gone from being about the pursuit of hedonism to something else. There’s still all the dancing and raucous energy, but there’s also space created for a little catharsis if that’s what you need. Many of the songs that I’ve made are designed for the dancefloor, but the lyrics are about processing grief and standing in defiance of systems built to oppress and divide us. For my new live show I want to make a space for collective engagement with the complexity of our volatile world along with the release of dancing and shaking it all out with a room full of people.” 

The live show promises to be raging, joyful and intense -  tickets are on sale on Friday 24th April.

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.

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.

Brudenell Presents...

Pebbledash has rapidly established itself as one of the most compelling forces in contemporary music, earning acclaim as both a captivating live act and a formidable presence in the studio. The band’s meteoric rise has seen them garner widespread support from influential tastemakers and media outlets, including BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X (X-Posure Hot One), NME (New Bangers), RTÉ (online, 2FM), Clash, Dork, Hot Press, Nialler9, Psychedelic Baby Magazine, Far Out, District Magazine, and Golden Plec. Cementing their status as a favourite of So Young Magazine, Pebbledash’s music has been featured among the publication’s Tracks of the Year and highlighted during So Young’s celebrated live nights, including a dynamic UK tour alongside Cardinals and Mên An Tol. Their distinct sound and artistic vision have also earned them coveted spots on major Spotify Editorial playlists, such as New Music Friday UK, Fresh Folk, The Indie List, Hot New Bands (cover artist), melomania, Breath of Fresh Eire, and Fresh Finds to name a few.

2025 marked a watershed moment for Pebbledash when their evocative track “Carraig Aonair” was featured in Netflix’s acclaimed series House Of Guinness, created by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders). Reflecting on the honour, vocalist Asha shared, “Netflix introduced subtitles as Gaeilge for the first time with the release of 'House of Guinness,' and the fact that this song was even just a part of such a beautiful milestone is my proudest achievement so far.” The exposure catapulted the band’s reach, with “Carraig Aonair” amassing over 180,000 streams on Spotify.

Pebbledash delivered a prolific year of releases. Their EP Four Portraits Of The Same Ugly House, released in January, has racked up 62,000 Spotify streams, while their latest project, To Cast The Sea In Concrete, launched in November, has already surpassed 115,000 streams and continues to climb. Summer singles “Asha’s Waltz” and “Cartography” garnered a combined 90,000 Spotify streams, further cementing the band’s reputation for innovative songwriting and immersive soundscapes.

The band’s impressive catalogue has secured them placements on 20 Spotify editorial playlists, widespread critical acclaim from leading music media, and a feature as Emily Pilbeam’s 5B46 DJs on BBC Radio 6 in July. Their haunting live show, showcased during the Of Seaweed and Sandstone Tour, began with a triumphant hometown performance at Cyprus Avenue in Cork, followed by a sold-out night at Curveball in Dublin. The tour continued with lauded shows at London’s Servants Jazz Quarters, Manchester’s Castle Hotel, and culminated at The Attic in Leeds.

2025 proved to be a landmark year for Pebbledash, with appearances at premier European festivals such as Left Of The Dial in Rotterdam and They’re Gonna Be Big Festival in Paris. With no signs of slowing, Pebbledash has already played their first shows of 2026 which saw them headlining We Will Folk You in Dunkirk, France, supporting Cardinals on their IRE Tour, and Rage Sacreé Lorient and Rennes. With a slate of exciting performances and festival appearances announced including Dot2Dot, Wanderlust, and supporting Babyshambles on their Irish dates, 2026 is poised to be a momentous year for the band.

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.

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.

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.”

“Meet lavender, a winsome London-based duo consisting of Oskar Rice and Adam Jackson. You can hear the confluence of their weirdly disconnected musical worlds merge on these songs. 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. Multiple plays reward the listener as the music unravels and gradually reveals its secrets.” - Bill Brewster

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
