Flat Party’s’ driving post-punk rhythms and ability to deftly lampoon hot button societal issues may draw inspiration from the likes of alternative stalwarts Suede and Walt Disco, but they combine it with a biting, tongue in cheek and distinctly unique twist.
Jack Lawther (Vocals – he/him) and Rory O’Rourke (He/Him) first joined forces amongst the anarchic inner circles of the Bristol underground music scene. They soon formed a strong artistic connection built upon their creative common ground; both musical and in the shared messages they set out to convey.
“If you can imagine all of the best things that the Pacific Northwest has brought us—Mount Eerie, Grunge, Sleater-Kinney, The Girls Rock Camp, and lush mountain ranges—reimagined and told through the perspective of an Indigenous Swinomish/Iñupiaq woman; if you can imagine the magic that would bring to your life then you can imagine Black Belt Eagle Scout.” — She Shreds Magazine
Katherine Paul’s third album of patient, cinematic indie rock surveys a return trip to her ancestral lands in the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community—and the hard-won peace she found once she arrived.
“Iggy Pop-approved …this is no retread – their songs are powering them into vicious new places.” – NME
“They are every bit as ferocious and uncompromising live as you might guess from their records!” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6Music
“They have the aura of a band that should be filling stadiums.” – Fred Perry Subculture
Belfast-based Irish noise-punk mob formed in late 2019. Venomous hip-hop-inspired vocals that are as uncompromising as the guitars are unforgiving, layered on a rhythm section that draws as much from left-field electronica and techno as it does from post-punk heroes of the late 70s. Their sound garnered them widespread acclaim from both industry and music fans around the globe, culminating in them being the most booked up-and-coming Irish band for festivals this year.
Wasting no time, Enola Gay established themselves as one of the next unique punk voices, having been listed in both NME and Rolling Stone’s lists of acts to define 2022 along with headlining festival slots post-pandemic. After releasing their acclaimed debut EP Gransha, they embarked on their Spring 22′ UK Tour before supporting Therapy? on their arena tour. It is no wonder they have been hotly tipped by Iggy Pop, Jehnny Beth, and anyone who catches their now infamous high-energy sets.
A country songwriter from Brooklyn’s indie underground, Dougie Poole blurs the lines between genre and generation on his third solo album, The Rainbow Wheel of Death. Rooted in sharp songwriting, Poole’s golden baritone, and the organic sounds of a live-in-the-studio band, it’s a classic-sounding record for the modern world, stocked with songs that make room for everything from old-school synthesizers to contemporary storytelling.
The Rainbow Wheel of Death’s title nods to the colourful pinwheel that appears onscreen whenever a computer’s application stalls. For Poole — who found himself working as a freelance computer programmer once the pandemic brought his touring schedule to a temporary halt in 2020 — it’s also a reference to the holding pattern that’s left much of society feeling stuck, unable to move ahead in an uncertain world. That feeling was pervasive when he began writing these nine songs, finishing the first handful of tracks in his New York City bedroom and wrapping up the songwriting process in the recording studio itself, this time surrounded by a band of collaborators and instrumentalists.
Erol Alkan returns for his first of two ‘To The Rhythm’ parties in 2023 at Sneaky Pete’s.
Continuing a series of previously sell out, extended sets, ‘To The Rhythm’ creates the space for Alkan to explore the outer reaches of his record collection.
Over four hours, one of London’s most iconic figures in nightlife and alternative culture will present his singular alchemy of future, present and past: an unpredictable trip through offbeat strains of house, disco, techno, electro and alternative music, all mixed with a unique, psychedelic sensibility.
Hailing from the east of Scotland, Dropkick have drawn on influences such as Wilco, Tom Petty and The Jayhawks to produce their own blend of harmony-driven, power-pop for well over a decade. The band will play a set to celebrate the release of their new album, ‘The Wireless Revolution’ (Rock Indiana records/ Hurrah Musica).
“This is country-pop at its finest.” Maverick Magazine
“Those who have yet to latch onto them are surely missing something special….Indie, powerpop, accomplished harmonies, alt. country tendencies. What’s not to love?” The Herald newspaper https://linktr.ee/dropkickmusic
The Wynntown Marshals: Edinburgh-based The Wynntown Marshals have been at the vanguard of the UK Americana scene for the last 15 years; their blend of power pop, rock and country sounds has graced four studio albums, a handful of EPs and a ten-year career retrospective.
Described as ‘Europe’s best Americana band’ following the release of their debut album ‘Westerner’ in 2010, the band has grown from strength to strength and continues to garner praise from peers and critics alike. ‘Big Ideas’ – released in 2022 – is arguably their most fully-realised recording to date.
