The Underground Stage
“Teenage Joans have always played like it was their last day on earth but their latest finds yet another gear, with their most triumphant chorus to date. Tense every muscle in your body, shake your head until it feels like it’ll fall off, and scream it to the skies 📢”
“A Californian golden hour lights this deeply contented track, happily stuffed to the gills with nature and, I’m guessing, fistfuls of edibles. A normal everyday tale of getting high as a paper kite in the desert to Michael Bolton – but make it epic enough for a sea of swaying phone lights 🤳”
“As Body Type’s new album inches closer, we are treated to another box of delight, stuffed to overflowing with giant melodies and vibes of the best-night-ever variety. If anyone’s thought of a more lively thing to say someone than ‘you make me feel like a weekend’ then I’ve yet to hear it. 🎁”
“Downgirl’s latest shoves and elbows its way to the front, insistent and determined. In lesser hands it could easily descend into tedious dirge territory, but there’s a sharpness and a dark sense of humour that cuts deep but lifts higher

“If you’ll all be upstanding and raise your glasses, Max Quinn’s Florida Man persona is just starting to appear on Spotify. You’ll come for the meme-based title, but you’ll stay for the warmth, the deep humanity, the humour, and a wicked-ripping song 👰♂️”
“Downgirl take us to church tonight, leaving us penitent and flagellating. The theatre may be holy and hilarious, but the music raises pure merry hell, buzzsaw guitars and pounding rhythms enough to strip the retinas off of eyeballs. Get on your knees sinners, and worship.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
“Papa Pilko & The Binrats are always a spectacle to behold, even if your eyeballs burn and your ears ring at the end of it. Filthy as hell, mad as hatters, and all the better for it.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
“Beautiful Stink bench press 300lb of Pearl Jam with ease, as dense and muscular as a side of beef. Hair flies high, as do we.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“LSF kick off tonight’s 666 Nights Of Live Music celebration at The Duke by serving up slab after slab of riff and rhythm, big and grumpy chunks of it.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
