Oscar The Wild @ The Botany View, 12th Oct
“Oscar The Wild’s pristine and shiny songs are the golden ticket tonight – a winning combo of sweet and sour, vicious wit behind the soft embrace. There’s moments here for us all, dancing and laughing and crying and hugging, but behind it all is a wicked-sharp understanding of how to have fun and turn it […]

Bronte Alva @ The Botany View, 12th Oct
“Bronte Alva’s razor-blade pop is sharp enough to open a vein but it comes direct from the heart, pumping the same blood it ends up spilling. By turns it’s clever and madcap, vulnerable and off its chops, as likely to reach deep down and touch you where it counts as it is to rip out […]

FVNERAL @ The Botany View, 12th Oct
“FVNERAL are moving slowly but steadily from a band that initially only played incredibly sad and beautiful songs into a band that plays incredibly sad and beautiful songs but is determined to make us miserable buggers have a good time anyway.

Denison @ Manning Bar, 9th Oct
“Denison’s set is made of delicate monsters and pretty destruction, fractured panes of wit shattered by sharp-fanged pop gremlins canonballing right through them. It’s funny and it’s smart and it’s rich and it’s immediate – it’s a bloody joy and I don’t want it to end.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok

TALLON @ Manning Bar, 9th Oct
“TALLON are smooth, like velvet rubbing on ice. There’s a lot of very tricksy music that goes into these sorts of textures in order to make it this frictionless but, however the trick is pulled off, it goes down without touching the sides, leaving just a woozy effect behind, a happy buzz.” Gallery Learn More […]
