  Squid

  Teeming with melodic epiphanies and layered sounds, Squid’s second album O Monolith is a musical evocation of environment, domesticity and self-made folklore. Like its predecessor, 2021’s critically acclaimed, UK number 4 album Bright Green Field, it is dense and tricksy – but also more warm and characterful, with a meandering, questioning nature. This is unmistakably music made by friends, but it’s not exclusionary – they’re inviting you in to listen with them.

  Basht.

  Stepping up to the scene as ‘One of the most exciting young rock bands to emerge’ (HotPress), Basht. have quickly impressed crowds across Europe, and now look forward to the release of their sophomore EP ‘Bitter & Twisted’ – produced by Richard McNamara of Embrace.

  Following on from a year supporting Wunderhorse, Been Stellar & Goo Goo Dolls, as well as festival slots including Electric Picnic and All Together Now, the Dublin-based band sold out 2 consecutive tours of the UK & Ireland in 2024, in the light of their debut EP ‘Dirty White Lies’ produced by Thom Lewis (Sam Fender), which set the scene for an already-rampant year in 2025.

  Basht. now take on their largest headline tour to date the Spring, including shows in Dublin, London, Manchester & Paris, as well as appearances at tastemaker festivals, Liverpool Sound City, The Great Escape and Dot To Dot.

  Lip Critic

  Formed in 2018 in New York, Lip Critic is the project of Bret Kaser, Connor Kleitz, Daniel Eberle, and Ilan Natter. The band is comprised of two samplers, two drummers and vocals. Through their unconventional instrumentation, Lip Critic executes an eclectic blend of punk, hardcore, club, modernistic pop sounds, and structures without inhibition. Paired with eccentric grandstand-style vocals, Lip Critic delivers a uniquely engaging live performance that rivals the hyper-stylized production on their records. These performances are heavily focused on improvisation and experimentation, including extended and remixed versions of songs, as well as band members attaching portable lights to their bodies. Their projects include "Kill Lip Critic" in 2019, "Lip Critic II" in 2020 and "Lip Critic: Truth Revealed" in 2021.

  Death Valley Girls

  For the better part of a decade, LA’s scrappy rock n’ roll mystics Death Valley Girls have used their music as a means of tapping into a communal cosmic energy. On albums like Glow In The Dark (2016), Darkness Rains (2018), and Under the Spell of Joy (2020) the band challenged the soul-crushing banality of modern society and celebrated “true magical infinite potential” through a collage of scorching proto-punk riffs, earworm melodies, far-out lyrics, and lysergic auxiliary instrumentation. But on their latest album Islands in the Sky, Death Valley Girls’ songwriting mastermind Bonnie Bloomgarden uses the band’s anthemic revelries as a guidebook to spiritual healing and a roadmap for future incarnations of the self. And while these may be the loftiest aims of Death Valley Girls to date, the resulting music is also by far their most infectious and celebratory.

  DIVEBAR YOUTH

  Growing up with a need to adapt, Vinnie Barbaro learnt from an early age what it means to react flexibly to changing circumstances. This benefits him as a musician, as he has no problem redesigning his dark, shimmering alt-pop time and time again and rolling it up in the ears of his audience. Sometimes it's more leaned-back indie reverie like on ‘Clueless’, then it's the driving nostalgic pop of ‘Vertebrae’ (2023) or ‘Idioms’ (2024) and in between there's always that vibe that's just as appropriate at a festival in the depths of summer as it is after a first date with a loved one. So it's no wonder that Robert Smith (The Cure) is just as much a supporter as Angus and Julia Stone, Rolling Stone and an audience of millions on all popular streaming platforms. Although they have already reached the top, Divebar Youth have clearly not yet reached the end of the road. The next kick-start will therefore be in Hamburg in September.

  Alex Cameron

  Alex Cameron has always been a great storyteller, finding his ways into the depths of the places where not many others are looking, and Oxy Music continues on that trajectory. It’s filled with stories of people who fall outside the system and exist in the grey areas of life. In its design - its music, lyrics and tracklist - lies the journey a person can take, if the circumstances present themselves - down the road of heavy drug and alcohol abuse. Initially inspired by Nico Walker’s Cherry, Cameron was spurred into yet another commentary on American Life, this time about the opioid crisis that has taken over the country. He says about Oxy Music: “The album is a story, a work of fiction, mostly from the perspective of a man. Starved of meaningful purpose, confused about the state of the world, and in dire need of a reason to live - a person can, and according to the latest statistics, increasingly will, turn to opioids. This is one of those people.” While Oxy Music could be dark, it’s instead brighter and more buoyant than much of Cameron’s previous work, a shift in mood first seen across 2019’s Miami Memory. It’s told from a place of optimism and through the lens of Cameron, in the way that only he can tell it.

  TTSSFU

  TTSSFU (pronounced phonetically: “T-T-S-S-F-U”) manages to conjure enormous atmospheric worlds using just GarageBand in their bedroom. The DIY shoegazer deftly combines the eeriness of The Cure with the fast BPM of The Strokes and The Drums: most recently on her latest EP ‘Me, Jed and Andy,’ which TTSSFU produced, mixed, and mastered themselves, and features “Studio 54”.

  Already this year TTSSFU has played a string of festival dates including Green Man, Bristol Sounds, and Manchester Psych Fest, and supported Soccer Mommy and Mannequin Pussy across their UK tours. Their debut EP continues to pick up organic traction, led by single “I Hope You Die” which is already nearing 1M plays on YouTube. This November, TTSSFU will support English Teacher on their upcoming UK tour before a busy 2025 as they prepare another EP and a debut album.

  Really Good Time

  Really Good Time are a band from Dublin, that sound like ‘Vertigo’ era U2 covering Viagra Boys, or early Pixies and LCD Soundsystem records in a blender with some cheap speed. Their music toes the line between noisy and melodic, weird and anthemic. In their three years of existence, their mission has always been about finding ecstatic release within a crowd of bodies, moving together amidst waves of amplification.
  Praised by the likes of Clash, DIY & Hotpress, Really Good Time are the band Rolling Stone describes as "intent on living up to their name". Really Good Time are ready to bring Texas the RGT energy that won queues around the block at The Great Escape in May.

  Really Good Time are having one, and they emphatically wish for you to join them.

  Plantoid

  Plantoid are one of those bands that exceed the sum of their parts, with each member bringing a different flavour that enhances their sound tenfold. Tom has been playing guitar practically his whole life, and his style, which fluctuates from lush finger-picking to reverb-laden rock riffs, sits very comfortably on top of Louis’ jazz-infused drumming and Bernardo’s intricate basslines. The band found their ace-in-the-hole with Chloe, who, as well as serving as Plantoid’s principle lyricist, delivers soaring vocals, at times both angelic and alien, propelling each song on debut album Terrapath to new heights.

  Any Young Mechanic

  After they released their first song via Soundcloud, Any Young Mechanic went viral straightaway. As rapid as such things are in our age of social media, the first notes of this band sound relaxed and, despite everything, maintain a pleasantly low-key vibe. ‘There's A New Place On The Market’ is nonetheless a rugged, wonderfully arranged and just utterly charming intro for a young ensemble that plainly puts its heart and soul into making music with no airs or graces. This is no longer a given in these times. Anyone who can connect to the bittersweet art rock of Wilco, the baroque chamber folk of Fleet Foxes or the yearning indie of Big Thief will absolutely want to listen to Any Young Mechanic. Anyhow, this band already has plenty of potential. Happily, they are also bringing fresh material with them for their Reeperbahn premiere.

• big long sun

  Led by multi-instrumentalist, Jamie Broughton, ‘big long sun’ is an 8-piece art rock band, based in Brighton.
  Formed of dynamic multi-disciplinary artists, ‘big long sun’ is a band with many heads and directions. With expressivity at the project’s core, ‘big long sun’ is an exciting, ecstatic experience of noise and feelings.
  With influences ranging from the atonal recesses of Sonic Youth’ to the oceanic melodies of Arthur Russell, ‘big long sun’ is a rare, eclectic treasure in a world of repetition.

  Silver Gore

  Selling out shows before they’d even released any songs, London alt-rockers Silver Gore are only a couple of years into their life as a band but already making serious waves in the live music scene. The duo — drummer Ava Gore and Yorkshire musician Ethan P Flynn — have shared stages with Geordie Greep and Martha Skye Murphy, and while their online presence remains enigmatic, you’ll have to catch them playing live to see what all the fuss is about.

  Iguana Death Cult

  Rotterdam-based fivesome Iguana Death Cult initially made their mark with giddy, hard-hitting garage punk and a miasma of acid-drenched psychedelics, only to blossom into an all-embracing unit that implements frameworks of post-punk, krautrock, new wave, soul and disco. The band’s sophomore album Nude Casino, which came out October 25, 2019 on LA imprint Innovative Leisure (who signed them after seeing them at SXSW 2019), holds aloft a more cerebral and absurdist side of their songwriting.

  Because of The Netherlands’ tight-knit infrastructure of venues and festivals, Iguana Death Cult’s momentum as a powerhouse live act climbed at a maniacal pace. Being a band is perhaps one of the few walks in life where work and play mean the exact same thing and Iguana Death Cult’s proactive ethos quickly granted them a steady grassroots following all over the world.

  “...a blazing vault out of the pabulum and into unadulterated mayhem” - The Fader

  “Nude Casino is a quest to wriggle out of life’s bitter clutches with the maximum possible levels of fun and
  debauchery” - Paste Magazine

  “An album that whips in spiky riffs and jutting rhythms alongside more swirling melodies” - Louder Than
  War

  Georgia Mooney

  ARIA-winner Georgia Mooney makes music fit for stargazing. Audiences already know her from beloved folk band, All Our Exes Live in Texas, who toured the world extensively, sharing stages with everyone from the Backstreet Boys to Nathaniel Rateliff to Midnight Oil. The release of Mooney’s debut solo album Full of Moon marks the stepping forward of a major talent. Co-produced with Grammy-winner Noah Georgeson (Joanna Newsom, Cate Le Bon, Marlon Williams), the album is an ornately melodic, folk/dream-pop universe, carried by Mooney’s soaring ethereal vocals over lush, cinematic soundscapes.

  Nominated for two AIR Awards, described by The Australian as “nothing short of a triumph.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2”, and dripping in critical acclaim worldwide, Full of Moon has seen Mooney sign with renowned Canadian label Nettwerk, embark on a 50-date Australian tour with Kate Miller-Heidke, open for Martha Wainwright at Sydney City Recital Hall, tour the UK and Ireland, curate and host a captivating variety show series with comedian Rhys Nicholson for Vivid Sydney, and much more.

  An avowed Star Wars nerd who presents as a 40s movie star - she seems both from a long time ago and a galaxy far away, while speaking directly to the present. Georgia Mooney’s music is intricate, handcrafted, and richly melodic. Influences from Joni Mitchell, the Great American Songbook, even classical composers sift through her songs, alongside production that evokes the unsettling genius of Kate Bush. Add to that ribald stage banter engendering frequent comparisons to Phoebe Waller-Bridge, it’s no wonder Georgia is captivating audiences in every corner.

  ”It’s nothing short of a triumph.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2” - The Australian

  "Full of Moon is a dazzling, inventive pop record: richly textured, captivating and gleefully strange” - NME Australia

  "It only takes one listen to lead single "War Romance" to know we are hearing a work of surprise and musical sophistication. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2” - The Big Issue

  ”...from the first seconds of the album to the last, that same ethereal enchantment occurs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” - The AU Review

  " chock-full with pure cinematic artistry" - Wonderland Magazine

  "When she started playing I could immediately understand why the room was packed. She played with a tongue-in-cheek elegance that disarmed everyone instantly. I think everyone fell in love at that show" - Rolling Stone Australia
