“False London are idiotically exciting, a band that somehow beam in classic 80s vocals and song but then wrap it up in hyper-modern clothing. It parades down the catwalk, confident and beautiful for everyone to stare at, eyes on stalks and ears on fire.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram

“Grenade Jumper – as the name suggests – drop exactly the pop punk you’re looking for, muscular and polished and bags full of fun. The foot is on the floor and the speeds are approaching unsafe levels.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
Chloe Dadd @ Oxford Art Factory, 28th Apr
“Chloe Dadd open tonight’s fun with a super-tight set chock full of razor-edged tune, enough to raise an eyebrow or tap a foot in any room you care to mention. Busy, crafted, and a delight.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Nerdlinger @ The Town Hall, 22nd Apr
“Nerdlinger seem to take nothing seriously, which may just be a headfake for taking all of it very seriously, but pretending not to, all so *we* can all not take it seriously (or at least pretend to). If you’re in the front row, I swear to God this makes sense. Seriously.” Gallery Learn More Facebook […]
Raised As Wolves @ The Town Hall, 22nd Apr

Seaside @ Oxford Art Factory, 22nd Apr
“Seaside play their set with as much intensity as joy, switching from blazing-stare-serious to dancefloor delirium in a quick minute. Equal parts fearsome and fun is a potent mix, and one to savour.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Boudicca @ The Duke Of Enmore, 17th Apr
“Boudicca are well-named – fearsome, ferocious, quick on the attack. Hardcore and metal attitude underpins a surprising amount of song, with the overall effect as devastating as it is soaring. A bladed wheel attached to a flying chariot, and a bloody joy to boot.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Lariska @ The Duke Of Enmore, 17th Apr
“Lariska’s jazzy, syncopated moments rear their their heads throughout this set to remind us that this band not only bangs like a gong, but also plays like a bloody demon. Rooted in its deceptively clever songwriting, this barrel of fun swings and sways from chaos to control – it’s one of the best sets on […]
