The Underground Stage
“Down And Out’s set is high quality and high octane – you’re in good hands, but it’s still unsafe at any speed. Massive pop-punk jerks and shifts and all the vim in the world make it a pleasure to be dragged along behind.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
“The opening track from Amends’ second glorious album sets its tone, weary but deeply defiant. The muscles are aching, and there’s melancholy ground deep into the skin, but its sights are still firmly set on a distant horizon 😮💨”
“The polish on Teenage Joans latest tracks have been so bright it could burn out an eyeball. This is no exception, a searing high-shine lighting up the darkest and furthest corners of the sky 😎”
“Giddily out of sorts, this is as disorienting as it is danceable, as mind-melting as it is a must-listen. Mind your heads, folks – Gut Health are aiming high 🤪”
“Final Girls are on the brink of their debut EP, and if this last track before release is anything to go by, it’s going to be a tune-filled riot, furious while soaring. There may be grit in the soles of these boots, but they’ve got a ton of stomp in them 🥾”
“This one is taken from DOWNGIRL’s densely-packed debut EP ‘Manic’, and like the rest of this collection, it broadcasts live from dark places. The joy though is that it’s always reaching for better – and it’s damn well going to bring you along with it 📡”
“Dial Denial’s relentless, untethered energy rips straight out of them and straight through all of us. It just doesn’t stop, for the whole set – the only course is to accept it, and to welcome it with open arms.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
“Glitch Kingdom open up tonight with a signature romp through just about every variation on punk that has ever existed, sometimes within the same song. Hell, sometimes within the same verse. All bands should be this exhaustingly – and exhaustively – fun.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
“Great Job! tick literally all the boxes – wit, melody, smarts, roaring, and occasional screaming about your dumbass boyfriend. There’s enough clever songwriting here to keep our brains wired, but it’s matched with enough madcap performance to make us exhausted. Right there, that’s a potent and batshit cocktail.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
