The Underground Stage
“Raised As Wolves stab and dart as always, one of our finest. The new ones are furious and promise huge things for future recordings but, live and in person, this band are no question among the best going. Fearsome and fulsome, tight as a drum, and as addictive as anything cooked up in a lab.” […]
“Hatchling delivers gentle songs with a strong arm, tough little tunes that’ll slip behind your defences, gentle numbers that’ll stab you in the heart without a second thought. Rich, atmospheric, smart, and delightful, it’s a hell of a set.” Gallery Listen
“ONIERA are a wildly good time, one to let yourself off the leash for, dancing and waving like the night’s just about to end. Sharp and not a little nutty, it’s got bags of fun propelled by gallons of groove-laden musical skills.” Gallery Listen
“Shakamoto bring truckloads of energy, psyche-tinged stonerism mashed into hyperactive mayhem. Full-on and fully loaded, it’s a blast of swirly chaos from start to end.” Gallery Listen
“Vermanic are firm and staunch, rock-solid blocks in a structure to survive the seasons. They add enough welcoming fun to it all though to take the serious edge off it, making it both impressive and enjoyable, a rare mix.” Gallery Listen
“Safford’s glacially precise set is nearly standoff-ish it’s so introverted, yet it creates a world you want to be a part of, soaring along with it. Quietly confident throughout while loudly expressive in the key moments, it’s beautifully designed and a pleasure to admire.” Gallery Listen
“SunStalkerss are mighty and high, flutes and staggering rhythms mashing into moments of roar and crash that cut through the haze.” Gallery Listen
