Normal Village (UK)

"oddly coordinated brilliance"

For fans of: Television, UNIVERSITY, Alien Chicks, Tropical Fuckstorm

Bio provided by artist:
Normal Village are a Leeds DIY favourite with a knack for chaos, charm, and oddly coordinated brilliance. Village are one of those bands shaped first and foremost by the community around them. They’ve spent the last few years bouncing between Leeds’ DIY stages, tightening their songs in real time and figuring out their sound by simply playing it a lot.

Rising out from the chaos and community of the city’s bustling DIY-gig scene, Normal Village’s debut EP feels lifted right from a dark, sweaty and crammed basement somewhere off Hyde Park. Fusing together a scorching, breakneck mix of punk, indie, Math-Rock and post-hardcore, Normal Village scream, batter and howl through 20 minutes of slanted time signatures and raging volumes, guitars sparking off each other, igniting fires.

Tooth (UK)

"urgent slacker emo"

For fans of: Dinosaur Jr / The Get Up Kids / Alvvays

Bio provided by artist:
Over the last year, the quartet – comprised of Tom Pollock (guitar, vocals), Ben Ashley (guitar), Charlie Arnison (bass) and Roy Lowe (drums) – have meticulously honed their craft, becoming one of the most talked-about new bands in the country for their riotous live shows which fuse anthemic US alternative, second-wave emo and garage rock.

Building a devoted live following for a show that’s well-drilled yet off-kilter, as prone to erratic, noisy breakdowns as it is to shout-along choruses, they’ve racked up an impressive resumé that’s seen them open for the likes of Keo, Brigitte Calls Me Baby, Men An Tol and Dust and hit up festivals including Live At Leeds, Sŵn, Mutations, Kendall Calling and Tenement Trail.
