The Dirty Nil play rock and roll. Loud, distorted, and out of control, they play like it's a fever they're trying to sweat out. Reveling in the din of distorted guitars, pounding drums, and desperately howled vocals, the Hamilton Ontario three-piece makes music for turntables and hi-fi's - music for dive bars and house parties - for beer drinking and joint smoking - for road trips and barbecues - for fighting and yelling and shouting and singing and screaming and howling - for sweating and bleeding - trying and failing and trying again anyways. Gravel-in-your guts, spit-in-your-eye, staggering, bloodthirsty rock and roll. They have two 7"s available that capture the snarl and destructive noise they create. The Dirty Nil play rock and roll - cause they couldn't do a damn thing else if they tried.

Uncover Presents: A meeting three years ago in a studio in Norwich, resulted in a united front of millennial madness. Introduced to each other through their mutual love of music; they bought a van the same age as themselves, named it Dorian and headed out on the road. Combining their razor tongue wit, cheeky bravado and undeniably danceable licks to form indie rock band Youth Killed It. The band put together two EP’s entitled “The Sad Boys Club” and “The Happy Girls Club”, and what can only be described as a chance meeting with Rude Records, they snapped the band up for a two album deal. They boxed up the EP’s and put them out as the riff fuelled album we now know as “Modern Bollotics” (2017) and just over a year later followed the indie focused “What's so Great, Britain?” (2018).They have since moved forward as an independent outfit and are now focused on a single driven ethos. Having toured the UK and Europe with The Frights, The LaFontaines and MassMaticks, and many of their own shows, a Youth Killed It gig involves 100% crowd participation and gets better the more you drink or the less you think. You won’t see a wall of death or circle pit, but you will see conga lines, dad dancing and anything else that is shamelessly brilliant including front man Jack Murphy’s charisma and charm between songs. Its function is to have fun, alienate fans from any outdoor judgement, let them scream, shout and do whatever is contrary to the social norm at a live show.

Benjamin Steer is a 21-year-old British-American artist and songwriter whose music is a catchy, introspective and deeply moving selection of stories about modern love and life. Ben draws inspiration musically from artists like early days Ed Sheeran, Myles Smith and Mackenzy Mackay as well as his contemporary peers like Michael Sanzone & Thomas Day. His sound is a fresh hybrid of acoustic and indie pop that’s equally at home closing out a rom-com as soundtracking a night bus ride home after yet another bad Hinge date.

Somewhere between psychedelic daydream and Sunday morning reality lives - a band as tender and unpredictable as their name suggests.

Fast. Presented by Bad Vibrations 18+ only (photo ID required)

Alice Costelloe is breaking free on her upcoming EP 'When It's The Time'. The first release under her full name (previously operating under the Al Costelloe abbreviation) and her first having signed to much-heralded indie label Moshi Moshi Records, 'When It's The Time' - out 25th October finds Costelloe skilfully rendering nuanced emotions rooted in desire, and death. Sonically, the EP presents a captivating progression - introducing elements of art-pop (in no small part due to the EP's producer Mike Lindsay's "treasure chest of synths") to her optimistic, soothing indie-pop. Thematically, the EP poses questions about mortality, and "how to make yourself a better life in a world that often feels apocalyptic".Balancing a playful sense of optimism against the looming spectre of death; pillowy synths and celestial organs provide a warming backdrop for Alice's pristine voice and deft examinations of humanity.

At 21, Jordana is already a wildly accomplished DIY producer — she co-produced her new album Face The Wall and played every single instrument on the record, a remarkable feat of auteurship. Dealing with faith, sexuality and self-discovery, it’s a heady document of self-determination. Face The Wall is a remarkably assured statement from a 21-year-old artist. There are plenty of similar artists in her lane, all with equally stylized aesthetics and approachable auras, but Jordana doesn’t need any of the relatability tactics that some of her fellow pop stars do. She knows she doesn’t have to grab you to get your attention, she doesn’t need to rehash a sound from 10 or 20 years ago, and her confessional songwriting doesn’t need to be overwhelmingly sad to be poignant. All she has to do is sing and play guitar, and the music is just irresistible. When Jordana first arrived, it was her bedroom pop chops that made her an artist of note. Crafting songs through GarageBand that showed the talent that stretched the four walls of her room, the potential was scary. On ‘Face The Wall’, that promise is fulfilled, and then some.

No-frills is pretty much Dune Rats’ motto: this is punk rock at its most instantly disarming and infectiously high-spirited. This is a ‘skateboarding in the daytime, drinking through the night’ kinda soundtrack. Underneath the four-day grime and long overdue haircuts of Dune Rats’ exterior, however, lies a wonderful beach-pop bounce. Their self-titled record was recorded in just over a week after being inspired by a letter they read from Steve Albini to Nirvana pre-In Utero. That energy worms its way into songs crammed full of melodies that drive their way into your consciousness, all the while sitting comfortably alongside the riff-fuelled mania of their more fast-paced cuts.

Emerging from London’s underground without much interest in fitting in, Y are a band built on friction. Formed in 2023 by Adam Brennan and Sophie Coppin during a period of isolation - a way of making sense of boredom, frustration and noise, and quickly grew into something louder, sharper and harder to ignore. Y come from a punk and outsider lineage, not a conservatoire one. Their music isn’t about polish or genre loyalty, but about instinct, release and surprise. Songs lurch, mutate and snap into place; rhythms feel physical rather than clever; melodies arrive sideways and stay lodged in your head. This is music that values energy and risk over neat explanations. The band’s lineup reflects that push and pull. Sophie’s vocals and keys cut between mischief and menace, delivering hooks that feel both playful and unhinged. Adam’s guitar work pulls from odd scales and non-standard harmony without ever sounding academic. Dan GB’s bass locks hardcore urgency to dancefloor weight, while Brazilian percussionist Fells blows the rhythmic frame wide open. At the front of it all, Harry McHale uses the sax not as ornamentation but as a lead weapon - abrasive, melodic, confrontational. Forged through relentless shows at The Windmill and beyond, Y built their reputation on live performances that feel closer to a collective purge than a gig. Their breakout track “Why” became a chaotic rallying point - less a song than a shared release - and set the tone for what followed. Presented by Gravy Train.

Debuting in 1994 with a self-titled cassette on Australia’s Toytown label and the IT’S STUPID EP in 1995, Pam’s early sound was low-tech and homespun. 1997’s I GOT RULEZ expanded her palette with keys and sampler, leading to 1998’s Beats & Breaks from the Flower Patch and 2000’s Catskills, both supported by Japanese tours and CD releases. After completing a third album around 2003/04, Pam put Kitty Craft into hibernation, shelving the record and focusing on visual art and her career as an art professor. In 2019, Kitty Craft quietly resurfaced, reissuing Flower Patch and Catskills digitally, followed by Lost Tapes - unreleased recordings from 2003. Amid a wider ’90s aesthetic revival and vinyl resurgence, a new generation embraced the project. Since 2022’s anthology LP MEW (1994-2004) and expanded reissues, Kitty Craft returned to the stage in 2024 after 20+ years, now touring again with US and international shows planned for 2026. xo.

Part Chimp have long made it their mission to shake speakers, fry brains and push volume to its limits. Underground legends of primal riffing, their fifth album Drool sees them sharpen that intensity into something even more focused and ferocious. Blending crushing heaviness with a skewed sense of melody, Drool channels echoes of Melvins and Sonic Youth while carving out a sound that’s wholly their own - pulverising, chaotic and strangely life-affirming. Tracks like Back From The Dead, Drool and Up, With Notes showcase a band revelling in the alchemy of loud amps, strange tunings and raw instinct. Recorded across London, New York and Somerset, the album captures the band at their most honest and unfiltered. Equal parts panic, chaos and catharsis, Part Chimp’s music thrives on the edge of collapse - shambolic, unpredictable and full of joy. Drool is loud, enveloping and uncompromising - a blast of heavy music that hits as hard as it exhilarates. Presented by Gravy Train. This is a 14+ event (14-17’s must be accompanied by an adult).
