“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 @ Vic On The Park, 12th Jan
“Del-Slackers’ wild-eyed, pedal-to-the-floor, high-times punk is just one of those things that’s hard to resist. It’s all the dumb – and yeah, small – things in life turned into madcap shenanigans and fun. No-one’s leaving miserable, which is not something all bands can claim.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“Ben Mastwyk & His Millions twang like their lives depend on it, a red-hot shot of good times injected into the dusty veins of cow-persons everywhere. It might sound bucolic and grassy, but the energy is high-voltage and twitchy, a giddy mix.” Gallery Learn More Instagram

There’s no sense they’re trying to please anyone but themselves – in a world where everyone’s […]

Yb. @ Bootleggers, 5th Jan
“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 @ Bootleggers, 5th Jan
“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

THOM @ Bootleggers, 5th Jan
“THOM plays uptempo pop with a sad side and hammering rhythms, bags of swagger with a tear on its cheek. The kind of party that’s full of broken hearts, but on the mend and dancing it all away.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
