Swansea Sound

Swansea Sound

20 Nov 2026 - 20 Nov 2026

SWANSEA SOUND Hue from the Pooh Sticks, Amelia and Rob from Heavenly, Bob from The Dentists and Ian from a whole bunch of bands, by their powers combined, creators of two albums of sardonic takes on the music industry and attendant nostalgia in the classically melodic indiepop setting and now launching their thuird album. Don't miss this. QUCIK ROMANCE If the bass line from The Rezillos Flying Saucer Attack married the vocal line from X-Ray Spex's Oh Bondage, Up Yours!, with The Shangri-Las as bridesmaids; that's Quick Romance. Singer, Matilda Scotland and her bandmates are real mean teens, in love with clothes, music and Brian Jones's hair. Despite their tender years they combine raw talent with a knowledge of old school 77 punk that manifests itself in a tight set that nods in the direction of X-Ray Spex. Definitely ones to watch. EUROPEAN SUN Steve Miles released his second album as European Sun earliuer this year,accompanied by Ian Button (drums), Rob Pursey (bass) and Elin Miles (additional vocals). If one LP could act as a refutation of the toxic culture of masculine energy and the tech bro-sponsored whipping up of hatred that blights our lives - this is it. Utterly devoid of that grim modern male quality 'swagger, sometimes echoing the casual, intimate, fragile tones of the TV Personalities, the songs are bluntly emotional but shamelessly catchy. On other occasions - louder occasions - the echo of an angry Wreckless Eric riff can be heard. . This hand-made music is the opposite of AI-generated crud. Every bit of it, even the chaotic bits especially the chaotic bits - are deliberate and meticulously thought through

Imogen and the Knife

17 May 2026 - 2 Jun 2026

Forged in Newcastle, honed in South-East London, Imogen and the Knife is carving an incandescent path through alternative pop. As is the way with the Northern songwriter coterie, Imogen has remarkable capacity to elicit a deeply emotional response from her audience, her artistry ground on the wheels of the north and community. With vocal performances of depth, vulnerability and control, Imogen articulates an intimate yet social experience, often exploring themes drawn from her upbringing and her complex relationship with the body. Joining the dots along a jagged line of influences from Kate Bush, Nick Cave, Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright and more, Imogen and the Knife crafts a unique world that glints with intrigue in each new track - from rhythmic swells and brooding orchestral arrangements to the grounded haunting trademark of her piano and vocal performance. Poignant song writing is brought to life with moments of quiet reflection and fresh, full-bodied instrumentals. Imogen uses 'the Knife' as a powerful symbol of reclamation. Embracing the surgical knife, a motif that has threaded its way through her life and writing, she transforms it into a conduit for artistic expression. It embodies the precision and clarity found in her lyrics and delivery, allowing the message to cut through, leaving an indelible mark on her listeners.

Thee Lucifer Sams are true visionaries, refusing to put their music on platforms such as Spotify or having social media.

Oscillator are an amazing psych trio from Northampton, offering exciting, chaotic psychedelia, and playing Bristol for the very first time. Madonovan is the best shoegaze artist you've never heard before, and an unique concept - a tribute to itself, covering songs written, but never released, over 30 years ago. A cathartic ode to lost youth, dreams and rock'n'roll itself. Dominoes is a brilliant, solo artist who's equal parts Ivor Cutler and Syd Barrett. Rich in melody, ideas and whimsy, you are sure to enjoy his set. ACIDFEST also features a killer, exclusive psych playlist to keep you in the mood before and after each act, as well as trippy visuals to create an unique atmosphere.It is more than just a "gig", but a true happening. This is what the Liverpool Psychedelic Society always offers at our events: an unique experience, something that the mainstream is unable to offer, truly grassroots and open to all. This is not about any "scene", we just create our own culture and everyone is welcome to enjoy... so come and join the society!

Last year his old bandmate Edwyn Collins asked him, alongside original Orange Juice drummer Steven Daly, to join him for a sort of OJ reunion on his farewell shows in Glasgow and Londonand they sounded fabulous! James has joined forces with Warren McIntyre of melodic pop folk-rockers Starry Skies, after he was asked to play Glas-Goes Pop (an inspired indie fest held in Glasgow) in 2022. They have become a prolific songwriting duo with their 1st single, limited edition double AA side Miss Green Tea and Costa del Culzean released (GGP-001 vinyl) in the Summer of 2025 to coincide with Glasgow Goes Pops 4th outing. On stage they are joined by Hal on bass and Michael (V-Twin/1990s) on drums.' Support THE LOVELY BASEMENT Bristol-based band the Lovely Basement play jangly indie pop-rock - think the Velvet Underground & Belle and Sebastian.Post-cool or too old to care Lovely beings in the Basement are: Kevin Bache: guitars, vocals Steve Dew: drums, percussion Katie Scaife: guitars, vocals Paul Waterworth, bass THE CHARLIE TIPPER REBELLION The fourth incarnation of a band who's prolific nature has seen them release nine LPs in just over a decade. Compared to everyone from Luna and Pavement to Belle and Sebastian and the Go Betweens, the band have doggedly ploughed their own furrow. Guitars always to the forefront, their latest LP 'Second Time Around' (Old Bad Habits) was released in summer 2024 and showcased a slightly more polished sound than previous offerings - but as ever with the songwriting at the centre. The band have always shared the vocals around, but singer Linda is now taking a more prominent position, handling main vocal duties on some of the band's new material for the first time.

Lip Critic’s 2024 Partisan debut Hex Dealer was one of the most-hyped experimental releases of that year and signaled the Brooklyn band’s arrival as a borderline-batshit creative force. Theft World is their next chapter, built again from the chaos of two drummers locked in psychic combat, a sampler that sounds like it was struck by lightning. Presented by Outbreak.
