Josh Hannan @ Metro Social, 12th Mar
“Josh Hannan’s rich voice is something to wrap yourself in, like a duvet made of cake. Somehow it’s both plaintive and vulnerable as well as belting and roaring – which is bloody hard to do, not to mention bloody rare to hear.” Gallery Listen

Beckah Amani @ Metro Social, 12th Mar
“Beckah Amani’s spectacular range, both in genre and octave, shines off the stage tonight, fit to blind. Bouncing rhythms, smooth soul, eye-widening vocal acrobatics, heart-breakingly wonderful quiet numbers – it’s all there, and it’s enough to put a hole in the world. Magnificent, absolutely bloody magnificent.” Gallery Listen

Dear Tommie @ Metro Social, 12th Mar
“Dear Tommie sings of heartbreak under big skies, rubbing country dust into pop’s shiny shoes. A fabulous Saturday night vocal swoops over rumbly pop rhythms, sad songs for happy nights out.” Gallery Listen

O.M.R @ Vic On The Park, 9th Mar
“O.M.R lay down hypnotic phrases as bait but slam the trap shut with eggpunk and chaos – no warning and no quarter, but always with one raised and amused eyebrow. Sharp wit, cutting to bone.” Gallery Listen
“Kitty Of The Valley’s fearsome precision dominates their set, a vocal fit to divert shipping on top of songs that sound like earth quaking. The more off-piste moments fire pleasurable jolts though, danceable pounding and squalling punk feedback keeping us giddily on-course but happily off-balance.” Gallery Listen
