The Underground Stage
“Renegade patches up its own wounds with razor-edged guitars and urgent delivery, sharp and insistent and jerking around like mad. It’s a tough story to hear, but it’s hard not to walk away with just a bit more grit and determination to power ahead regardless ✊”
“Snub take warped fairground licks and wrap them in a roaringly angry track full of fury and injustice. It’s viciously precise, mad as hell but focussed and in control of its rage 😡”
“Del-Slackers’ wild-eyed, pedal-to-the-floor, high-times punk is just one of those things that’s hard to resist.

That plaintive vocal stutters and jabs, dancing around spikier rhythms and guitars, a glorious, flailing mess of both emotion and strength. There’s no sense they’re trying to please anyone but themselves – in a world where everyone’s […]
“Yb. and this stunning band happily – and seemingly casually – drop a set of gigantic proportions, bounding through the tall grass like a spring lamb, enough to melt the hardest of hearts. The skill on its own would be enough, but it’s the sheer *range* that astonishes – bars are spit, high notes are […]
“GAZAL’s got sharp edges wrapped in soft pop, a dark core lit with high wattage. The large-scale instrumentation makes you forget that there’s fizzing energy and anger lurking all around.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
