Sean Rowe is an American singer-songwriter, recording artist, and forager whose music carries the weight of timeless storytelling. Known for his commanding voice and raw emotional presence, NPR’s All Songs Considered praised Rowe’s vocals, saying, “He can just crush granite with that voice. It’s so powerful.” The Wall Street Journal described him as “as timeless as his approach, recalling the ecstatic intensity of late-’60s Van Morrison and the stark subtlety of late-era Johnny Cash.” Rowe has released five full-length albums and multiple EPs, earning a reputation for songs that are both intimate and cinematic. His music has been featured across film and television, including NBC’s The Blacklist and Parenthood. His song “To Leave Something Behind” became a breakout moment when it closed Ben Affleck’s 2016 film The Accountant, going on to surpass 16 million streams on Spotify.

An easily confused and very shy individual, Charlie Parr has been traveling around singing his songs ever since leaving Austin Minnesota in the 1980's in search of Spider John Koerner, whom he found about 100 miles north at the Viking Bar one Sunday night. The experience changed his life, made him more or less unemployable, and brings us to now: 13 recordings, 250 shows a year or more, 200,000 miles on a well broke in Kia, and a nasty fear of heights. Resonator fueled folk songs from Duluth Minnesota.

Esme Emerson are a British-Chinese music duo consisting of siblings Esme Lee-Scott and Emerson Lee-Scott. After releasing their debut LP S for Sugar, D for Dog, the duo signed with Communion Records, through which they released the EPs Big Leap, No Faith, Small Chancer and Applesauce.

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.

Formed in 2020 in Dearborn, Michigan, Prostitute is an experimental post-punk and Arab rock band. Born out of the isolation of the COVID-19 lockdown, the band’s debut album, Attempted Martyr, was written in the midst of global and personal turmoil, capturing the zeitgeist of a world unraveling. A loose concept record, it chronicles the rise and fall of a doomed zealot whose pursuit of holy vengeance spirals into a psychotic orgy of violence, greed, and lust. The band was initially formed by Moe Kazra who enlisted childhood friends Andrew Kaster and Dylan Zaranski, with Ross Babinski and Bret Wall later completing the lineup. Together, they self-funded the album, working with legendary engineer Chris Koltay to shape a sound that's both abrasive and hypnotic-an unrelenting blend of warped guitars, primitive basslines, frenzied drumming, and corrosive synthesizers, interwoven with samples from diverse cultures, ranging from African to Middle Eastern and East Asian influences. Tracks like “All Hail” (inspired by the 1977 Hanafi Siege of Washington D.C.) immerses listeners in a volatile, hostage-like environment. "Judge" channels Milton's Satan in a chilling rallying cry, while “Body Meat” grapples with religious desperation and the tenuous boundary between faith and madness. Khachab and Kaster’s lyrics have been described by Pitchfork as "disturbingly poetic" with the ability to "lacerate with image alone." Crude sloganeering and scenes of horrific violence are juxtaposed with literary allusion and Islamic symbolism, creating what the band calls a "theatricalization of terrorism." Through this lens, they examine and critique the xenophobic stereotypes targeted at Arabs, distorting them into grotesque caricatures. Over the past four years, Prostitute has established a reputation for their punishing, high-energy performances. The band’s live shows, described as “dangerous” and “volatile”, finds Moe delivering politically charged sermons atop a deafening bacchanal of sound. In 2023, Prostitute performed at the re-opening of the iconic UFO Bar in Detroit, followed by a series of benefit concerts for Palestine, Lebanon, and Sudan. These performances solidified their growing presence, leading to invites to play at No Rest Fest and New Colossus Festival. As Prostitute continues work on their sophomore album, they are delving deeper into electronic and Arabic dance influences, drawing inspiration from the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. Their sound continues to evolve, with new tracks incorporating dabke rhythms, Arabesque melodicism, and industrial synth textures, all while retaining the same anarchic energy that defines their unique sound.

Fomies - Fomies takes us on an epic musical journey, through strange dreams, gentle meadows and wild streams. This intense journey unfolds on a path full of pitfalls, carried by a powerful and bewitching fuzz, fusing heavy psych and krautrock frenzy. The Mink - The Mink lept from the soup of East Anglia's music scene in 2023, after catching glimpses of each other playing in other bands and thinking 'hell yeah, man'. They play neo-psych that's dreamy, groovy, riffy and flutey in equal measure. Dreamwave - In the last two years, Bristol’s Dreamwave have sold out various headline tours in the UK & EU, and performed at festivals including Glastonbury, The Great Escape, Supersonic’s Block Party (FR), Left of the Dial (NL), Dot2Dot, Simple Things & Stowaway.

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.

Since the release of her first single Drive in 1996 – a top ten hit when she was just twenty – Bic Runga has been awarded the most New Zealand music awards by any individual, ever (twenty so far). Her first three studio albums all debuted at number one on the New Zealand Album charts, with Drive being certified seven times platinum and featuring the enormous hit, Sway, and Beautiful Collision being certified an incredible eleven times platinum and featuring the hits Get Some Sleep, Something Good and Listening for the Weather. In January 2006, Bic was awarded a New Zealand Order of Merit for services to music and in 2016 she was the recipient of the Legacy award at the New Zealand music awards and was inducted in to the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame. Bic recently worked with Sir Tīmoti Kāretu and Hinewehi Mohi to translate and rerecord her international hit Sway, creating the te reo Maori version - Haere Mai Rā/Sway - for the Waiata/Anthems album which debuted at number one in September 2019. This will be her first European show since 2012 and her only UK show in 2020.

Pop Mutations & Freakender present: screensave + Special Guests. Screensaver balance frenetic energy with unsettling tonalities to create rhythmic gloom that rides the new wave to the synth-punk. 
 Spending three years in an incubatory state, the band began as a trans Pacific collaboration between Christopher Stephenson (Spray Paint/Exek) and Krystal Maynard (Bad Vision/ex Polo) in 2016. By 2019 Christopher had long since relocated to Melbourne and the current line up now consists of James Beck (Personal Touch/ex Rat Columns) on drums, Dorian Vary (Soundtrack Music) on bass and Jonnine Nokes (Horse Pills) on second synth. 
 The band has released two full length albums: Expressions of Interest (2021) and Decent Shapes (2023). The latter came out as a split release on Poison City Records (AUS) and Upset the Rhythm (UK) and extended on the bands blend of synth driven post-punk replete with elements of krautrock, dance-punk, new wave and electronica established on their debut. The first single The Guilt found itself in the AMRAP Independent Music Charts top 10 during its first few weeks of release and received praise on Rolling Stone (AUS), Post Trash (USA), Raven Sings the Blues (USA) and PBS FM (AUS). The album has received excellent reviews on NME, KEXP, Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll and Brooklyn Vegan to name a few.

Aircooled return with a new single and album of disco-fuelled locked grooves, rock swagger and glittered poise but with an expanded palette that brings vocals to the fore for the first time. The extended psychomotorik traits are still very much part of the picture but the band have sidestepped into songsmithing with apparent ease and explosive results. In a year that included sell-out shows at The Lexington - Islington, The Trades -Hebden Bridge and The Brixton Windmill, a stint opening for Suede on tour and the release (and repress) of their debut LP St Leopards, Aircooled found time in their studios in St Leonards on Sea, where they live, to write, record and produce Eat The Gold, a set of winning, infectious tunes that, while neatly avoiding resting on the laurels of their initial success, ignites with all the energy of a band at the peak of their power. From the super solid, relentless grind of Katharine and Justin’s stainless steel rhythm section to the twin-voices-as-one vocals from Riz and Ollie and the psyched-out riffing, wig-out guitars and synthesizers this is mirror ball disco funk rock from a band that’s clearly and unashamedly having a very good time. Aircooled are: Riz Maslen (Neotropic) - vocals, keys, flute Katherine Wallinger (The Wedding Present, Viv Albertine) - bass Oliver Cherer (Miki Berenyi Trio, Gilroy Mere) - guitars, keys, vocals Justin Welch (Elastica, JAMC etc.) - drums This is a 16+ event

Pete McKee invites you to visit his latest exhibition, ‘The Boy With a Leg Named Brian’. Touring some of the UK’s most beloved Grassroots Music Venues, this is a rare opportunity to see Pete McKee’s exhibition in these amazing and unique spaces. The exhibition, ‘The Boy With A Leg Named Brian’, takes visitors on a journey through Pete’s childhood in the 70s and 80s. Although this is the story of Pete’s life, his memories and tales of everyday life and pop culture, are relatable experiences shared by many across the UK. The exhibition is open from 12pm - 5pm and entry is free for all ages. No booking required. After the show has closed, there will be a live performance in the evening from The Everly Pregnant Brothers, the northern tinged comedy ukulele band who are well known for their parodies of popular songs, Pete was one of the founding members of the band and after a summer of playing festivals, including Tramlines and Rock N Roll Circus, they are excited to be bringing songs from their latest album ‘Never Mind The Ukes, Here’s The Brothers’. As well as a showcase of Pete’s artwork, the tour is also to raise awareness of the work Music Venue Trust do in helping to support our grassroots live music venues, the lifeblood of touring for new emerging artists. Pete has created a special poster which is exclusive to each venue on the tour. Only 50 will be produced and signed by the artist, with all profits going to the Music Venue Trust and each venue in support of the UK’s independent music venues.

True to the band’s name, death creeps into nearly all of Greet Death’s songs. And yet, through this ever-present certainty, the band finds the absolute core of what it means to be alive. Since 2011, elementary school friends Logan Gaval and Harper Boyhtari have been writing songs full of big ideas and everyday details. Their music, loud and full of melodic sensibility, draws from shoegaze, doomgaze, and a little-bit-of-everything-gaze, creating an emotionally maximalist palette. Writing separately but playing together (think of them as small-town Michigan’s Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus), they’ve been drawing in a devoted crowd ever since their unexpectedly successful debut Dixieland in 2017, followed by their next-level opus New Hell in 2019. You’d be hard-pressed to find albums with such heart: ones flooded both with full-bloom feelings and the dumb stories we tell ourselves in order to get through the day.

Backstage at the Camden Underworld, minutes before his band Dead Pioneers take the stage and devastate a capacity crowd with all the pain, power and primal energy of a classic punk-rock show, Gregg Deal exhales slowly. He’s been warming to his theme for almost an hour now, in much the same way an acetylene torch warms to the metal it must burn through. That theme is America, and there are few voices in punk-rock so uniquely qualified to speak on the country’s moral, social and political degradation, especially in the era of the orange despot.

Twenty One Children are the riotous punk pulse of Johannesburg-a fearless trio tearing up the rulebook and rewriting South Africa’s alt-music playbook. Born from the bond between friends Thula and Abdula, completed by drummer Biko, their sound fuses the grit of U.S. skate punk with the heartbeat of Soweto, erupting in a whirlwind of noise, soul, and subversion. With sharp wit and an unshakable DIY ethos, they’re not just a band-they’re a movement. From building the local skate park to throwing benefit shows for schoolbooks, Twenty One Children bleed community. Their music crackles with the defiance of Dead Kennedys, yet pulses with a distinctly homegrown fire. Spending 2025 turning heads in the UK at The Great Escape and Dot To Dot, and on to a tour of Africa with punk legends DEATH, they’re only just getting started. 2026 isn’t just another year-it’s the Year of Twenty One.
