Their debut single, Calling Time, quickly garnered attention, not only in their hometown but also on a national scale. Since then, the groups sound, a blend of guitar riffs reminiscent of The Smiths and the melodic charm of The Las, has earned them support from the likes of BBC Radio 6s Guy Garvey and Radio Xs John Kennedy. All working class charm and wit, it blends their indie appeal with some frisky Brazilian rhythms.

Blending spoken-word chaos, wiry post-punk grooves and progressive rock theatrics, the duo have built a reputation for unpredictable, high-energy sets packed with surreal humour, social satire and existential dread.

Plenty of people come to Los Angeles looking to make their California dreams a reality. But zzzahara has always been here, turning reality into a dream. Born and raised in Highland Park, where they still reside, zzzahara (the solo moniker of Eyedress/Simpsguitarist Zahara Jaime) has witnessed both gang-blighted and gentrified L.A. along the same geographical blocks. Like the transforming city itself, zzzahara has undergone massive personal changes, their characteristic stoicism giving way to a newfound sense of purpose. Liminal Spaces, their debut LP from Lex Records, explores a life hanging in the balance between memory and possibility over frenetic Johnny Marr-esque guitar jangle. This is a 14+ event .

Atmospheric, genre-bending indie-folk duo from London.

Hiding Places formed in the countryside of Athens, Georgia in 2020, but their roots trace back to a shared college radio station in North Carolina. Guitarists/vocalists Audrey Keelin and Nicholas Byrne, bassist Michael Matsakis, and drummer Henry Cutting create a twinkly, raw folk-alternative rock collaboration that blends earnest storytelling with intricate, guitar-driven textures. Now based in Brooklyn’s DIY scene, Hiding Places has carved out a space with their gentle, evocative vocals and lush, layered melodies. Recently, the band self-booked a tour through the South to SXSW, where they debuted their latest record-an intimate, emotional, and gritty reflection of their years of movement, growth, and collaboration. Their 2024 EP Lesson was produced by Colin Miller (MJ Lenderman, Wednesday), engineered by Liam Brand (Mount Kimbie, Jeff Rosenstock, Katy J Pearson) and recorded at Abbey Road’s Angel Studios in London. Lesson was released on March 22nd of that year through independent Brooklyn-based label HATETOQUIT. In April 2025, the band released two songs (set to release as “Bonus Tracks” on their new album) on a split release with two Asheville NC bands, Tombstone Poetry and trust blinks. Presented by JOY..

Emerging from Merced, California, 60juno leads the Central Valley’s post-punk scene with feelings of heavy nostalgia through deep, dreamy melodies. Inspired by the 2016 surge of Southern California’s DIY indie-rock community in conjunction with the synchronous SoundCloud era of underground rap, 60juno came to life in the isolated bedroom of a lonely teen stuck in 2020 quarantine. Upon realizing that creating his own music wasn’t as far out of reach as he once thought, the independent musician became the driving force behind the bass, drums, guitar and vocals that can be heard on each of his tracks. 60juno takes the usual wistful, dreamy aspect of DIY indie-rock a step further into post-punk territory with heightened energy and rough, low vocals thrown on top. This merge has resulted in a blend of his own creation that sets him apart as he continues to establish a notable sound worth remembering. Presented by JOY.. This is an 18+ event

Taking over sweaty New York venues and curbside congregations, bloodsports has become an undeniable force with their latest lineup-Sam Murphy (guitar/vocals), Jeremy Mock (guitar), Liv Eriksen (bass/vocals), and Scott Hale (drums)-finding solace in sonic strain where angular sedition collides with economical melodies that ease the weight of self-destruction. Their long-awaited debut album Anything Can Be A Hammer marks a bold evolution, embracing a more dynamic, mature approach as the band balances experimentation and curiosity with rhythmic blows and emotional depth; fragile yet abundant, the record leans into patience and interior tension, with Murphy’s lyricism blurring the line between what we know and what we think we know-it’s an album with blood in its veins and a finger on the pulse. The release quickly caught fire with praise from Stereogum, Vice, Alternative Press, Consequence, and more, leading to a support slot on They Are Gutting A Body of Water’s sold-out album release show and performances alongside Starcleaner Reunion and Brutus VII. In 2026, the Brooklyn four-piece is set to take their hard-hitting live show to SXSW, across the country, and around the world. Presented by JOY. This is an 18+ event

Pyncher are a high-energy, genre-blurring quartet from Manchester, quickly establishing themselves as one of the UK's most electrifying acts.

Pozi are a South London trio - Toby Burroughs (drums/vocals), Rosa Brook (violin/vocals) and Frank Lindsay (bass/vocals) - making tense, propulsive indie pop that strips away guitars in favour of churning violin, tightly wound bass and urgent, tumbling rhythms. Emerging with the politically charged minimalism of PZ1 and evolving through the more expansive, textural world of Smiling Pools, their music balances philosophical weight with wiry energy and dark humour, shifting from direct confrontation to a more ambiguous, impressionistic take on modern anxiety. Following Smiling Pools, the band have developed a new body of work that pushes their previous album's emotive landscape into more direct and playful territory, now being performed live as they continue to stretch beyond the post-punk tag and into something more exploratory. Prayer Tech is a new project featuring current and past members of Pozi, Keg and Blue Bendy. Drawing from the sounds of emo, post-hardcore and psychedelia the 3 mutate clashing opposites together, sincerity and pretence, open guitar and discordant bass riffs. Theyre first album is set to be released this year, recorded at crypt studios, the sound is raw yet ethereal in places, at once immediate but also not afraid of a euphoric chorus.

Bristol based quartet My First Time have their foot firmly on the accelerator. Their songs and live performances create a ball of energy that swerves and crashes off anything in its vicinity. With infectious hooks and waspish vocal lines that capture observations of modern society and all its idiosyncrasies–they package these ingredients into three minute post-pop bangers. Without releasing a single track to date, My First Time have already started to sell-out shows. Their demo recordings have received a similar clamour, with Radio 1 and BBC 6Music having aired tracks.

As befitting a band who take their name from the Maltese word for frenzy, ĠENN thrive amongst chaos. “Craziness follows us,” laughs lead singer Leona Farrugia, alluding to the quartet’s colourful history, which has so far featured robbery, legal disputes, long-distance collaborations, and three members of the band relocating to Brighton from Malta. Guitarist Janelle Borg concurs. “[ĠENN] could have been a support group, but we decided to make music instead,” she deadpans. Jokes aside, it’s this unique outlook and tight-knit gang mentality that make ĠENN such a thrilling proposition musically, as evidenced on March’s Liminal EP. Released through London-based indie Everything Sucks Music, the six-song collection sees Leona, Janelle and their bandmates Leanne Zammit (bass) and Sofia Rosa Cooper (drums) contrasting searing post-punk missives with more allusive meditations cocooned in psychedelic textures. Key reference points for the record included Baxter Drury, Metronomy, LCD Soundsystem and Captain Beefheart, as well as the band’s most enduring inspirations - Warpaint. Listen closely, and you can practically hear the band shrugging off their Riot Grrrl reputation in real-time, as they move in a more experimental and neo-psychedelic direction.

English indie four-piece band formed in London. The band signed to Sub Pop after only having played one gig in an industrial freezer.

Don't let the name fool you: the members of psych rock group Barbican Estate didn't actually grow up there, the Tokyo act are just big fans of Brutalist architecture. References to titans of art and culture are common for them, and they've cited the Beat Generation, William Blake, Greek mythology, and Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky as influences. We seek to embody an art that is not limited by the concept of music, said guitarist Kazuki Toneri.
