Giant Hogweed
Bütter

May 15th, 2024

Giant Hogweed are an exuberant trumpet-led 5 piece experimenting with jazz harmony, thorny composition and visceral, driving, psychedelic blues. Their sound emerges from the tensions amongst their varied musical backgrounds resulting in something unique and theirs.

Bütter stand out from the crowd, with their own unique, freewheeling, psychedelic spirit. They play a modern kind of kaleidoscopic rock’n’roll that nods to OSEES and King Gizzard, but takes in elements of original 60’s freakbeat, jazz and soul. There are inevitable comparisons to The Doors, and that’s no bad thing. Strong soulful vocals, boundless energy and wild-man musicianship ensure that they’re one of the most exciting LIVE bands I’ve seen in ages. I’ve enjoyed their singles so far, and I look forward to a full album – no doubt it will blow all our minds!”

La Sécurité
Corrine
Rénovations
for fans of… Le Tigre, Amyl & The Sniffers, Dream Wife, Coach Party

May 11th, 2024

La Sécurité (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) is a collective whose art punk is equal parts: jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements, and minimalistic melodic hooks. After years of writing earworms for the pleasure of beautiful weirdos, all the while strutting their style on tour with their many different projects (Choses Sauvages, Laurence-Anne, Silver Dapple, etc.), the motley bunch now meanders the fringes of punk, new wave and krautrock.

Francis Of Delirium
Both Hands
for fans of… Mitski, Car Seat Headrest, Japanese Breakfast, Margaret Glaspy

May 11th, 2024

Fuelled by a love of Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, Francis of Delirium’s music is, in her own words, “pop music dressed up in a rock outfit.”

Previously a duo, the artistic persona is now the solo-project of Luxembourg-based Jana Bahrich; an outlet for her rawest emotions, with ragged vocals and loud/soft dynamics paying tribute to her favourite acts. New track “Real Love” builds on the 90’s alt-rock stylings of earlier releases, although this time she’s letting down her defences against a softer, more fragile backdrop.
