The Underground Stage
“Denison’s set is made of delicate monsters and pretty destruction, fractured panes of wit shattered by sharp-fanged pop gremlins canonballing right through them. It’s funny and it’s smart and it’s rich and it’s immediate – it’s a bloody joy and I don’t want it to end.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
“TALLON are smooth, like velvet rubbing on ice. There’s a lot of very tricksy music that goes into these sorts of textures in order to make it this frictionless but, however the trick is pulled off, it goes down without touching the sides, leaving just a woozy effect behind, a happy buzz.” Gallery Learn More […]
“The Leedhams’ him-her vocals alternate between rich, throaty soul (her) or easy-going beach (him) but together, and backed with this intelligently restrained guitar pop, it all comes off as both hefty and a very nice time indeed.

“Ant Gallery fold and bend folky indie-pop into dancefloor funk, a cocktail you’d probably never order, but one – it turns out – you’d not regret drinking. All the fun of a Saturday night out mashed into all the joys of a quiet night in, a little bit bookish and a little bit bonkers all […]
“Milly McPherson baits with arch and wry songs, all raised eyebrows and dry wit, before the switch comes and knocks you backwards with huge choruses and a voice to raise the hairs on a dead man’s arm. It’s confident and it’s complex, a soaring set of intelligent, impressive songwriting.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
