Brown Horse (UK)

"the warmest British Americana around"

Bio provided by artist:
Brown Horse make twangy and thoughtful indie rock, delicately arranged, but unafraid of building a yowling wall of guitars, accordion, banjo and pedal steel. Distorted, teary-eyed and country-tinged, this is music for long lonely drives and late, late nights in strange places. After signing with legendary label Loose Music (The Felice Brothers, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Courtney Marie Andrews), their debut album, Reservoir, was released in January 2024 to wide critical acclaim. The band followed the release with a multi-month international tour and a packed festival season.

Brown Horse released their second album, ‘All The Right Weaknesses’, on April 4th 2025 on Loose Music. The group returned to Sickroom Studios in Norfolk following a multi-month European tour. As a whole, ‘All the Right Weaknesses’ touches on what being a band is all about. The tone of ‘Reservoir’ was described as an “unvarnished sound”. Brown Horse record quickly, and mostly with live, full-band takes. This creates moments of unpredictability and excitement that feel candid and singular. The thrill of listening to ‘All the Right Weaknesses’ is about this snapshot of a moment in time with six musicians playing together at once.

Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals (US)

"urgent and unpredictable, drowned in vitriol, rage, philosophy and humour"

Bio provided by artist:
Baltimore, MD-based hip-hop experimentalists Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals‘ music is a masterfully executed expression of ferocity and joy. 

Transcending beyond the generic idea of what a hip-hop producer can do, Infinity Knives (Tariq Ravelomanana) frequently demonstrates his oft-discussed love of contemporary classicalists such as Max Richter and Jóhann Jóhannsson. Hidden deftly amongst the hard-hitting beats and Ennals’ lyrical dexterity are moments of blissful orchestration that betray an abundance of musical talent. The precise control over the cleverly formed layers of melody and harmony provides a relentlessly inventive backdrop for Brian Ennals’ righteous poetry of vitriol, rage, philosophy, humour, and myth-making.

Since partnering in 2020 for the album Rhino XXL, Knives and Ennals have built a global fanbase almost entirely on word of mouth. Their follow-up album, 2022’s King Cobra, was released by taste-making UK label Phantom Limb, named #1 album of the year by Loud and Quiet, #5 album of the year by Spin, leading to Knives and Ennals’ invitation to open Irish hip hop trio Kneecap’s US tour. 

The duo’s latest album, A City Drowned in God’s Black Tears, was released in April 2025 to rave reviews from The Needle Drop, Rolling Stone, Wire Magazine, The Quietus, FD Signifier, and more. 

City Drowned… is most definitely their boldest work yet together.’ – The Needle Drop

‘In this patchwork of ideas and visions in sound, is something completely captivating.’ – The Quietus

Delivery Service (IRE)

"‘a mix of driving bass, rough-edged guitars, and unexpectedly pleasant vocal blends’"

Bio provided by artist:
Delivery Service is an alternative rock band from Dublin, Ireland that draws inspiration from 90s female-fronted bands like The Breeders, The Sundays & Le Tigre. The band blends punchy bass lines, distorted guitars, and sweet vocal harmonies to create a sound that’s both unique and nostalgic.

After watching a documentary about Bikini Kill, singer and bassist Becca Daly posted an Instagram story expressing interest in starting a girl band, bringing on board guitarist/keyboardist Ciara O’Neill and guitarist/vocalist Ashley Abbedeen (hotgirl), and the trio quickly formed a connection. Drummer Niall Thornton later joined, completing the lineup and solidifying their sound.

Since forming, the band have cultivated a buzz, starting 2025 off strong, playing with the likes of Dublin’s Skinner, Belfast’s Problem Patterns, and playing to a packed out room at Whelan’s Ones To Watch. The band released their debut single Ghost in March 2025. The track was featured in several spotify editorial playlists such as ‘Hot New Bands’ and ‘ New Noise’ as well as being featured in The Goo Magazine & Nialler9. Of late, Delivery Service have been hard at work in the studio with plans to release their first EP in late 2025.

ZONBI (FR/HT)

"hypnotic performances that feel like defiant rites of sound"

Bio provided by artist:
Founded in 2024 by Dimitri Milbrun, Shion Iwata, Ancelin Dinam, Achille Bof and joined by Simon Harel, ZONBI was born of the desire to fuse the urgency of punk/post-punk, the freedom of free-jazz and the raw energy of Haitian roots music.

At the heart of the band, the saxophone spits out dissonant incantations in dialogue with the powerful, frenetic rhythms of the bass/ drums duo. Dimitri Milbrun’s lyrics, sung in Creole, invoke the ancestors, denounce oblivion and summon history through searing images.

In Haitian culture, a zonbi is a being deprived of his soul, condemned to wander between two worlds. ZONBI screams its insubordination. Their music doesn’t seek to please, but to shake, awaken and haunt.

Each concert is a ceremony: a sonic trance, a cry of insubordination. A tribute to the Bois des Caïmans ceremony, a ceremony that would forever seal Haiti’s fate.

Roscoe Roscoe (UK)

"a must-see for neo-psychedelic rock lovers with a laid-back attitude"

Bio provided by artist:
East London’s Roscoe Roscoe fuse the epic, ’wall-of-sound’ guitars of Shoegaze and Post Rock combined with massive instrumental compostions, drawing sonic influences from 90’s
genre pioneers ‘My Bloody Valentine’ & ‘Sigur Ros’, to the vast, acoustic arrangments of The Beach Boys’ ‘Pet Sounds’.

The band formed towards the end of their time at performing arts college ‘The Brit School’ (previous allumni including Black Midi, King Krule & Olivia Dean). With a shared love and organic compatiblity to make music, they went on to release a spell of singles on altindie label ‘Slow Dance Records’ (PVA, Sarah Meth) attracting the likes of So Young Mag calling them ‘’shoegazey heart stealers’’ watching their 2021 Greenman performance and NME, whom stated the band made ’’searing hot neo-psychedelic music’’.

The new single introduces a hightened attention to emotional detail within the progression of the band’s writing and composition, exploring both the elements of sparse and reverbed acoustic instruments to full blown guitar driven psychedlia, akin to recent support slots including The Orielles, Ulrika Spacek’s fronted, side project; Astrel K and Los Angelies
shoegazeres; Dummy.

The 6 Piece are Front persons, writers and guitarists; Charlie Read Clarke and Jacob Muna, keys player; Milanka Caballero, bassist; Suzie Nichols, acoustic guitarist; Will Nichols and
drummer; Joe Bourdier.

FFO: Ulrika Spacek, My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, The Beach Boys, Sigur Ros, Dungen.

Venus Tropicaux (NL)

"our favourite Rotterdam-based mischief causing no wave trio"

Bio provided by artist:
Venus Tropicaux is a no wave band from Rotterdam, consisting of Marrit (drums/vocals), Shalita (bass/vocals), and Shelley (guitar/vocals). Their style is raw, energetic, and full of DIY charm. The band is known for short and intense live shows.

friendship into a unique live experience. In December 2024 and 2025, the band took on the role of furious ants in Herr Hamsterfleisch und die Angry Antz, an absurdist Christmas musical. Teaming up with theatre collective Club Gewalt, they formed the punk band of Herr Hamsterfleisch and delivered a fierce, satirical blow to white feminism.

Gloin (CA)

"a danceable explosion of throbbing beats and lacerating riffs"

Bio provided by artist:
Gloin ‘make driving, dark post-punk’ (BrooklynVegan), adding noise rock and industrial elements to their music as they tackle themes of bewilderment, dread and anger. Using bombastic rhythmic constructs, savvy arrangements and fervid melodies, the Toronto outfit put forth solemn tracks about perseverance and self-determination that are cleverly subverted through sarcastic commentary, courtesy of their sense of humor. Gloin self-released their introductory EP Soft Monster on April 18th, 2019. For their first full-length, We Found This (October 21st, 2022 via Mothland), they elected to print alongside up-and-coming studio wizard Dylan Frankland of Tallies, later turning to music visionary Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck, METZ, Alvvays, etc.) for the mix. Over the years, Gloin embarked on a handful of North American tours, performing at SXSW, Freakout Fest, New Colossus, Sled Island, and Treefort Music Fest, while also sharing the stage with Snapped Ankles, Osees, Amyl & the Sniffers, and A Place to Bury Strangers. All of your anger is actually shame (and I bet that makes you angry) by Gloin came out on March 28th, 2025 via Montreal imprint Mothland.

Hank (UK)

"blending raw noise with tender moments"

Bio provided by artist:
Hank are a London band channelling the city’s contradictions – chaos, beauty, intimacy and alienation. Known for their unpredictable live shows, built around a rotating cast of collaborators, they’ve built a following across the city’s DIY and festival circuits, and have supported the likes of Mannequin Pussy, Sorry, DEADLETTER, Been Stellar, and more.

Their debut EP Twist Grip released in September on Dalliance Recordings, was produced by Jamie Neville and features guest appearances from Asha Lorenz (Sorry) and Ben Romans-Hopcraft (Warmduscher).

Backed by praise from Clash, So Young Magazine, and BBC6Music and Introducing, Hank’s sound has drawn comparisons to the noise-soaked euphoria of My Bloody Valentine and the restless dynamism of Beck. Meanwhile, tastemakers at Slow Dance included their early demo “3/4” on their annual compilation of new talent, citing their ability to balance experimentation with accessibility.

Hank’s live shows, have become essential viewing, marked by their ability to connect deeply with their audience while still keeping them guessing. With a new EP on the way and a coheadline UK tour with NYC’s Catcher in June, Hank is carving out a space that’s entirely their own – equal parts confessional and confrontational, and always compelling.

Curser (UK)

"remarkably fresh alternative rock that’s aggressive and melancholic at the same time"

Bio provided by artist:
Curser draws on carefully selected influences from a broad range of genres to create their own fluid amalgam of a genre colloquially known as ‘Rock’.

A presence powerful and brooding, Curser’s lyrics paint pictures of existential frustration, yearning, introspective proclamation, and abstract melancholy – delivered with unbridled passion, whilst guitars intertwine and snarl along with a thunderous rhythm section.

Through organising and headlining multiple sold-out shows in London under the banner Curser Presents and releasing their debut EP Point of No Return in July 2023, the band has built a loyal local and online following.

In April, Curser put out The Leech – the first single from their upcoming debut album, set for release in September 2025. It was accompanied by a cinematic music video and received critical acclaim.

Honk (UK)

"gritty country punk that will make you line-dance like there’s no tomorrow"

Bio provided by artist:
Honk are a genre-warping six-piece that are here to rewire your idea of country music. It’s called ‘Trashcan Country’ – a raucous, rough-edged twist on twang. It’s been dragged through the back alleys of punk, doused in garage-rock grit, and left to dry in the blazing sun.

At the core of Honk is their electrifying live show — equal parts hoedown and meltdown — which has earned them support slots with trailblazers like Meryl Streak, Delivery, and Being Dead, as well as consistent backing from BBC 6 Music’s Marc Riley.

With The Real Red Foley, Randy Harrison, Chubby Hellrat, Yeehaw Culhane, L.E. Steel, and Stanley Knife at the helm, Honk delivers a sound that’ll make you stomp your boots — or knock them clean off. As their debut album, One Star, prepares to drop, the buzz is building into a full-blown roar.
