“A fizzy swirl of shoegazey guitars cocoon you from the off on Bridge Dog’s latest, crystal-cut melodies soaring above a darker landscape. A misty, out-of-focus gem of a track đź’Ž”

Good Ramen @ The Alley, 14th Apr
“Good Ramen drop a set tonight worthy of the ages, a ferocious-but-friendly grab bag of songs that by turns soar and sear, Sonic Youth and Superchunk and Pavement and Hockey Dad and… oh fuck it, a bunch of your favourite bands. There is no earthly reason that any group of people should make a noise […]

Dial Tone @ The Alley, 14th Apr
“Dial Tone’s squalling guitars are fearsome, but it’s their ability to match melody with eardrum damage that spikes the heart rate. If I ever get sucked up into a tornado, I hope it sounds like this.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram

Atari Y @ The Alley, 14th Apr
“Atari Y burns more energy than a full band all on his own, bounding through this set like an over-wound clock. When it gets right into its zone it’s a full-on blast, fast and smooth and rich and thunderous, but it’s the gonzo wonkiness that’s impossible to unhook yourself from.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | […]

“Stunt Double play with notable restraint, the keyboards floating like echoes of Eels and the undertows sounding like a quiet heist, the songs moving with utterly unhurried purpose. Each of these songs could move a lot faster than they do – that they don’t suggests they don’t feel the need to move fast for anyone. […]

Clews @ Wayward’s, 9th Apr
“Clews bring the bounce like hyperactive Easter bunnies tonight, cute and fuzzy but with razor sharp teeth. The harmonies are enough to satisfy the most sugary of tastes, but it’s the fizzing energy and joy that just bursts offstage from the whole band that leaves you feeling like you’ve been given the very sweetest of […]

Sesame Girl @ Wayward’s, 9th Apr
“Sesame Girl’s set feels like it’s torn between having a quiet chat and blowing a gasket. The songwriting is gentle and full of loveliness, while the execution gives the distinct impression it might rip your throat out with its fingernails. The whole thing pounds and drives at the same time as it soars and soothes […]
