The Underground Stage
“Just the second track out in the world from Underwurld Surfers over recent months but both this and its predecessor make crater-sized impacts. Face-melting, rapid-cut bars pair with guitars so huge and distorted it’s hard to make out the shapes, an instantly addictive track from instantly fascinating artists ☄️”
“The Toothpicks’ biggest show to date sounds suitably huge, giant bricks of off-axis art-rock falling off the ceiling and crashing all around us. Mind-alteringly talented to start with, tonight’s set rips the fixtures off the building, a wild party of unhinged skill roaring through the air around us.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok

“ALIYA’s set misbehaves like a much-loved but wayward child, a chest-swelling pleasure that’s also busy biting at your ankles and nicking the cash from your wallet. A paint-blistering voice crashes over it all, raising and singeing eyebrows at the same time.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
“NEAV’s dark pop is all solo, all acoustic on stage tonight, showing off the smart songwriting underneath and letting that shuddering, soaring voice shine like a midday sun. Rich as hell, but light as feathers.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
