Recently, their song ‘Dog’ from the No Soap Compilation tape was featured in the second season of the BBC show ‘Dinosaur’.

“…throwback indie rock of the highest order” – THE FADER

“If you think that jangly, bittersweet indie-pop is a lost art, then you owe it to yourself to check out this London band, who would’ve been stars on ’80s college radio.” – STEREOGUM

“addictively bittersweet post-rock” – PASTE

“World News has the musicianship of a band that’s been around for decades… – EARMILK

With an eclectic set of influences from the ‘70s and ‘80s dipping into post-punk, indie-rock and shoegaze alike, World News combines addictive atmospheric guitar riffs with seductive, nonchalant melodies. Moody, punchy, and nostalgic, they’ve drawn comparisons to iconic British bands from The Smiths and The Clash to Dire Straits, wearing the past on their sleeve while remaining perfectly original yet strangely familiar.

2024 saw a continued upward trajectory for the band with the release of two standout EPs, Escape and Mindsnap, their debut appearance in the US at The New Colossus Festival in New York City, and features in Stereogum’s 40 Best New Artists of 2024 and The Fader’s 13 Artists to Watch for 2025. Contributions to 2025 include the singles ‘Don’t Want to Know’ and ‘Everything Is Coming Up Roses’, which set the tone for their 2026 debut LP, alongside a string of summer festival dates and continued sell-out shows across the UK.

Charlie Noordewier is a folk singer-songwriter talent hailing from the edges of Devon’s Dartmoor with a worldly introspection that belies his youth. His songs tell wide-landscaped stories – from life’s weather-hardened edges to gentle dreams of escape – backed with virtuosic guitar playing and a live-band synergy that lives up to his Elliot Smith and Jackson Browne influences effortlessly.

Noordewier’s driving force is serving his music, shining in trad barn jams as readily as he can playing supports at stadium shows and with only 4 releases to his name, has already reached cosigns from Sam Fender, Olivia Dean and Amble, whom he has supported on tour, as well as hit a chord in the social media world with viral love-lorn track “Joy and Despair”.

Developing a highly anticipated and stellar songbook of releases whilst enchanting audiences along the way, Charlie is firmly cementing himself as one of the most exciting singer-songwriters of a generation.

Since forming in 2024, heavyskint have wasted no time in establishing themselves as ones to watch. initially a bedroom side project, the current line-up came together in early 2025 and have sold out every show they have played to date including turns at iconic venues like King Tuts and QMU.

Fronted by the enigmatic Jacob Hunter, the raw, unpredictable nature of such performances have gained the band a growing following across Glasgow. heavyskint’s sound draws upon the modern influences of Fontaines D.C and Wunderhorse while possessing the brooding, spacious vintage of Pink Floyd and the confrontational edge of late 90s rock. moody atmosphere, big choruses, noisy guitars, and high intensity.

Establishing themselves as a vital new voice from Leeds’ ever-evolving underground, The 113 evolve with it. Abrasive dystopian statements on surveillance, data harvesting and the quiet unease of modern digital life. The band describes its “new sound; desperate and panicked”, the group blisteringly hurtles forward with a compelling urgency, propelled by discordant guitars and thunderous offbeat rhythms. At times an almost uncomfortably prescient and claustrophobic listen, ‘Leach’ finds frontman Jack Grant unleashing both a rallying cry against the advancement and negative impacts of big tech, and an honest admission of powerlessness and inevitability in the face of it all: “Me, you or half the planet, what’s the fucking difference? I’ll be stamped within the spreadsheet with little to no resistance.”

You have to get the weight of the town you come from. You have to write with guts about the potholes you walk round and the manholes you step upon, the screams and cries that you encounter, the guff that aims to nail you, and the bits of light amongst the drab white concrete. Jinx Lennon does this and more for the Irish borderlands . Inspired by unhinged gospel preachers from the movie ‘The apostle’, mind numbing factory workweeks, smug government scheme overseer faces and excruciating embarassment of being a guilt ridden catholic survivor join Jinx through the cracked lens of punk, noise, north east borderland raps, confused taped voices and neanderthal garage rock and you will hear the stories unfold, some which are still being formed as we speak.This year saw the release of Jinx Lennon’s 13th record “The Hate Agents Leer At The Last Isle Of Hope” with the emphasis on the word hope. Now the next chapter unfurls.For any musician you are only as good as your last show and Jinx always plays like the only time that matters is right this minute.

On Monday 18th May, Dopamine return to Edinburgh, and they’re not asking for permission.

Blending sharp alt-rock hooks with dark, immersive energy, the band explores obsession, desire, dependency, and the dangerous romance of chasing the next high.

It’s loud.
It’s unfiltered.

Blending shimmering guitars, driving rhythms, and atmospheric synths, MISS MADISON draws inspiration from the British indie scene of the early ’90s while keeping their sound fresh and modern. Their music captures both the warmth of carefree summer nights and the introspection that follows—exploring themes of change, fleeting love, and the uncertainties of modern life.

Their first offering ‘Hand In Hand’ is a song about the effect of a busy working life in a new place coupled with the feeling of isolation and anxiety that goes with that. Following the release of ‘Hand In Hand’ which was described as “perfectly emulating the kind of sun-soaked Canyon comedowns that ease the mind into Sunday mornings.”, the duo has supported acts including Leah Senior, Snowy and JB Patterson and are touring the UK in May 2026 with performances at Alt Escape in support of their debut album ‘Midtown Downtime’ out May 7 via Rainflower.

Loose Articles are a Leeds-based post-punk band carving out a sharp, danceable sound rooted in wiry guitars, driving basslines and dry, observational lyricism. Their music draws on the nervous energy of classic post-punk while keeping one foot firmly on the dancefloor — taut rhythms, clipped melodies and songs that move with purpose.

Lyrically, Loose Articles focus on the minutiae of modern life: social rituals, boredom, expectation and the quiet absurdities of everyday behaviour. Delivered with deadpan humour and an unforced wit, their songs feel conversational and pointed rather than confrontational, finding humour and tension in the familiar. There’s a sense of restraint to their writing — nothing wasted, nothing overstated — which gives their work a distinctive clarity.

Renowned for their high-energy live shows, the band have become fixtures on the UK DIY circuit, earning a reputation for performances that are tight, kinetic and quietly commanding. Their sound sits comfortably between classic and contemporary post-punk, nodding to the past without feeling nostalgic.

Carving psych grooves through the grey sprawl of London, common goldfish is the underground project of Tottenham’s Jonty Lovell—producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a taste for breakbeats, warped synths, and that golden-era fuzz. Blending the swagger of Britpop, the groove of funk, and the pulse of ‘90s electronica, common goldfish sounds like a half-remembered night out— hazy, nostalgic and full of feeling.

What started as spontaneous sets in local skateparks and canals has since grown into a full-blown 4-piece live outfit—bringing a wild energy to venues like Camden Assembly and Peckham Audio, and owning the stage at
BBC Introducing showcases and The Great Escape’s First Fifty.

His live performances balance dry wit with tender explorations of the human condition.

London’s premiere anti-folk provocateurs, blending jagged post-punk with dark, witty storytelling about the seedy side of human nature.

“ Hyperphantasia is: Unhinged, unrestrained, self-indulgent bat-shit pop music from an alternate dimension. A beautiful, synthetic hall of mirrors head rush… Like taking every style I’ve worked with amping them up to 11 and firing them off a cliff” ?- Lone

Enter the kaleidoscopic world of Lone – returning to Greco-Roman for his first album in five years, ‘Hyperphantasia’. An artist who has been soundtracking dancefloors since the early 2000s, Lone (real name Matt Cutler) made his production debut in 2008 with “Lemurian”, a hip-hop inspired release before moving into the vibrant future-facing soundscapes we have come to know.

His back catalogue ranges through house, rave, ambient and electronica, and on ‘Hyperphantasia’, Cutler sets himself the challenge to bring all of those influences together for one body of work that he describes ‘like an album in my mind’.

Referring back to the album title, the definition of hyperphantasia is a condition characterized by exceptionally vivid and detailed mental imagery and for this album he tested himself to see how close he could get the music to sound exactly like what he was hearing in his imagination. ??

On Hyperphantasia, Lone deepens his relationship with vocals. Having previously relied on vocal samples or more abstract live vocal treatments, this latest album marks a shift toward richer, more pop-leaning sensibilities. Cutler makes a clear lyrical statement, enlisting a diverse and carefully chosen cast of collaborators: London-based artists and fellow Greco-Roman affiliates Ell Murphy and Lou Hayter, Barcelona’s breakthrough singer Bikôkô, cult Nottingham rapper Juga-Naut, and Hong Kong-born, London-based musician Merry Lamb Lamb. Together, they contribute to what stands as a career-defining project.

The end result is a cinematic experience exploding full of colour. You are introduced to the album with an old school rave anthem ‘Life Spark’ and an interlude welcoming you into this musical world. Like chapters in a novel, the album ebbs and flows beautifully between stripped-back melodies ‘Opening A Portal’, ‘Photographs That Don’t Exist’, ‘Sickly, Sweetly, Summer Movie’ and ‘Fruit Rots, Water Floats Downstream’, bubbling feel-good house ‘Affinity (Cloud Four Four Mix)’, ‘Triton’ and ‘ Wemove’, the rap-influenced ‘Throw The Ember’ and epic future-pop tracks ‘Miracle Mile’, ‘Big World’, ‘Scattergun’ and ‘Home’. The album ends with a full circle moment, back to the early hardcore and jungle rave scene, on ‘Ascenscion.png’.

Praised by BBC Music Introducing, Scotland On Sunday, The Herald, God Is In The TV, The Skinny, Loud Women airplay via Amazing Radio and as far afield as Australia (including the number 1 spot on Valley FM 89.5) and in the US.

Abolish Golf are a four-piece band based in Edinburgh who make danceable, punky indie music. Originally part of scene staple The Party Slogan, guitarist Jamie, bassist Cameron and drummer Calum, who all share vocal duties, have refined the melodic craft of their previous outfit while crafting a more frantic and confrontational sound with Abolish Golf that still retains new-wave and post-punk influences. 2025 saw them add guitarist Sean and perform support slots for formidable Irish folk-punks The Deadlians, as well as the raucous Private Function from Melbourne, plus headlining the T at 3 festival on the Cowgate.

“Their live shows are jaw-droppingly good, and their music – as evidenced by recent second album ‘The Beat Goes On’ – veers from confident swagger to warm intimacy.” – NME

Horsebath are a Canadian country band known for rich harmonies, classic songwriting and a sound steeped in vintage Americana. Formed in Vancouver (with members originally from across Western Canada), the group lean into traditional country textures — pedal steel, warm guitars and three-part harmonies — while bringing a fresh, contemporary sensibility to their storytelling. Their music feels timeless rather than revivalist, drawing heavily from ‘60s and ‘70s country and cosmic Americana. Lyrically, Horsebath focus on heartache, distance, longing and the open-road melancholy that defines classic country music. There’s a softness and sincerity to their delivery that gives their songs a worn-in, late-night glow. They’ve built a strong live reputation for tight musicianship and harmonies that feel both loose and deeply locked-in — more road-worn barroom than polished Nashville sheen.

Luxembourg’s breakout indie star Francis of Delirium joins us for two Scottish dates this September following the release of new album ‘Run, Run Pure Beauty’.

Lead single ‘Little Black Dress’ is a soaring slice of power pop that’s as catchy as it is cathartic. In singular Francis of Delirium style, guitars and drums crescendo with sugar-rush vocal melodies, paired with a sting of Gen-Z melancholy and Jana’s heart-on-sleeve, emotionally intelligent songwriting that’s formed such a strong connection with her fans.

Since their debut album Lighthouse was released in March 2024 – named as one The Guardian’s Readers Favourite Albums of the year – Francis of Delirium were proclaimed “Luxembourg’s first Indie Queen” by Uncut, whilst NME lauded the band for “putting Luxembourg on the map”.

Without stopping to catch a breath, Francis of Delirium undertook an extensive EU and UK tour, followed by 11 headline dates in the US and Canada, a huge set at Primavera Sound, and support slots for Alanis Morissette, bôa and Blondshell.

NYC band GIFT are back in Sep! One of our favourite past guests, they return with newfound dance energy on their gothic new record Illuminator, which Anthony Fantano has the hots for. So he should! Their psychey wash is suddenly crisp, direct and fully realised. It’s a special one.

Having assembled on a lark in the Big Apple from roots as diverse as Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Brazil and Boston, GIFT leaned on their collective deep experiences in numerous non-performing aspects of the biz as part of settling on a bold new sound – a dizzying blend of early shoegaze, classic ’90s alternative rock and even modern pop.

Indeed, that GIFT emerged somewhat fully formed on their 2022 debut album Momentary Presence was a testament to the untapped creative potential laying deep within, and it wasn’t long before the band was pricking up the ears of adventurous listeners both at home and across the Atlantic Ocean.

Now, Illuminator, their Aug 23 debut album for revered New York independent label Captured Tracks, is the long-awaited payoff of GIFT’s ever-growing musical and human chemistry. And while nods are apparent to label forerunners such as Beach Fossils, DIIV and Wild Nothing, GIFT are shepherding those elements into wondrous new vessels for the present moment – sleek, often danceable and frequently mesmerizing.

Internationally acclaimed blues-rock musician and outstanding guitarist Eric Steckel returns to Europe in Fall 2026—touring in the release year of his new album Sandstorm.

Modern Woman, the London art-rock outfit fronted by primary songwriter Sophie Harris, are set to release their anticipated debut album ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ on May 1st 2026 via their new label One Little Independent Records. ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ represents the culmination of Modern Woman’s journey from Harris’s early, intimate songwriting project into a full-bodied band capable of folding post-punk, avant-garde, and folk traditions into a live force of dynamic originality.
