Dead Bob is the solo incarnation of John Wright, drummer of long time and apparently legendary, but now retired, Canadian punk band No Means No (NMN). Wright has spent 50 years drumming, 45 years songwriting, 30 years touring, three years helping robots play punk rock, 30 years brewing, and a lifetime playing music in more bands than you can count on one hand. Currently practicing drums, with one album released and a 2nd due imminently, Wright is not planning on slowing down any time soon. The material on "Life Like spans decades and there's lots more in the vault. The album was recorded and produced by Wright in the wilds of British Columbia and while he primarily wrote and performed it himself, he can't take all of the credit, having engaged the help of several friends including Byron Slack (Invasives), Kristy Lee Audette (Rong), Ford Pier (Ford Pier and the Vengeance Trio, DOA, Roots Round up, Junior Gone Wild, Rheostatics), Selina Martin, his son Aidan Wright, as well as two old collaborations with his brother Rob in the writer's chair. As might be expected, the songs roll out cohesively but defy the cookie cutter pigeon holes, hence "Genre" is a tough one to convey but one thing that is not unclear is it is not to be listened to quietly! We aim to make sure you hear it all good and loud! Dead Bob first Tour of the UK will be supporting their New upcoming album Nothing Changes Everything out on April 25th released on Alternative Tentacles/Wrong Records.

We were raised on cattle ranches where we learned how to play traditional country music because that's what everyone wanted to hear. The music Kacy and Clayton make is inextricable from where they grew up. They sing about the kind of people you'd find in Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan (population very few). The hills, barns and remoteness of the area are in these songs, with a bittersweet acknowledgement that this music has taken them far from home. Kacy Anderson and Clayton Linthicum's new album Carrying On follows the international acclaim for their previous records Strange Country (which Q magazine called, A beautiful album that nudges a classic past into a brave future.) and 2017's The Siren's Song described by Uncut as Ageless and beguiling. A classic record for this or any other time. Their sound is equal parts homespun, coming from a family and community where playing music is an ever present part of social gatherings, and the rare country, blues and English folk rock these second cousins obsess over and collect. For Carrying On, Clayton cites as influences: Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete, Hoyt Axton's My Griffin Is Gone, Cajun fiddle music, and the steel guitar of Ralph Mooney who played on many of the records that defined the Bakersfield country music scene of the 1950s. Sixties psych has also woven its way into these new songs; Kacy enjoys telling people that they live 250km from the mental hospital that coined the term 'psychedelic'. Having toured almost nonstop for the last two years, Carrying On was conceived and honed on the road and recorded immediately after a jaunt across Western Canada, mostly as live takes with the minimum of overdubs the songs having been tried and tested before audiences each night. The album was produced once again by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco and Uncle Tupelo fame, at his Loft studio in Chicago. The result is a sharpening of what Mojo magazine summed up as A beautiful mix of Kacy's crystalline vocals and Clayton's inventive, deep-groove country guitar. And a greater attention to detail in their songwriting; with narrative tales of loss, regret and yearning alongside vivid portraits of the Northern Great Plains and its isolated inhabitants. The songs The Forty-Ninth Parallel, The South Saskatchewan River, Providence Place and That Sweet Orchestra Sound were all written with local settings in mind - with the latter a tribute to the rural dance bands of the area, who referred to themselves as 'orchestras.' One such band, the Romansky Orchestra from Fir Mountain featured Kacy's Grandpa Carl in their line-up when he was in his teens. Of Carrying On, Jeff Tweedy said "When I first heard Kacy and Clayton, I was struck by how much detail and nuance they had absorbed from what sounded like a large swath of my record collection. When I told them that they were as good as the artists they were drawing from, I'm not sure they believed me. On this record I don't hear those influences as much as I hear them taking the things they love so intimately and telling their own story. I think they're a truly great band. Our songs for this album are inspired by rural living of the past and present, highlighting the toll that urban dwelling can take on first generation kids moving out of the country into the city.

3 of the original 1970s punk bands come together for afternoon by the sea! 2pm to 5pm STORMTROOPER Formed at the legendary Marquee club in January 1975. Lead singer Nigel Hutchings worked there running the bars, Jeff Piccinini and Mike Lee were over from San Francisco hoping to form a band. So where better to find musicians than the Marquee, home of the Who, the Stones, and many more. After recruiting John Pilka on guitar, and rehearsing in a shabby Kings road basement studio, the band started to take shape - as did Motorhead in the next studio. Corruption Management took them on, and a recording studio in Covent Garden was booked for one day - that's all money they could afford. Four tracks were recorded including It's Not Me, and Im a Mess - which everyone thought was a ripper. A gig at Bath Pavilion was booked, and, although not a massive turnout, went down really well. However, within weeks they had imploded, with Jeff joining punk upstarts Chelsea, and Nigel becoming assistant manager at the Marquee. Early in 1976, Nigel witnessed a thunderbolt at the Club, the Sex Pistols supported Eddie and the Hot Rods - and punk was born! So later that year Jeff and Nigel decided to try and release Im a Mess on a private label - Solent Records. A few thousand copies were pressed, and hand delivered to every record shop they could find in London. And a number were shipped abroad. Melody Maker, Sounds and New Musical Express reviewed Im a Mess, with appropriate razor sharp comments - which the band loved. To help promote it, they gave away a free badge/pin, screaming the legend, Im a Mess. The badge proved very popular with all sorts of people including, famously, Sid Vicious. In 1977, the band, with Maurice Bacon - formerly of Love Affair - on drums, went back into the studio to record Coming My Way and Im on Fire. These were never released, however, Chelsea covered Im on Fire, as Jeff was in the band. But now, 2026, Stormtrooper have re-formed, and are putting shows together throughout the year. People remember them, the word is out, and there's a real sense of excitement in the air - particularly as 2026 is the 50th anniversary of the birth of punk - were you there So, let's get Messy - come and check them out. TRASH In 1975 Mick Brophy (guitar), Simon Wright (vocals) , Keith Steptoe (bass) and Steve Pearce (drums) caught an early Sex Pistols gig and thought we could do that! . Calling themselves Trash after the New York Dolls song the band signed to Polydor and commenced gigging, supporting 999, The Lurkers, The Slits and many others. Debut single Priorities is now a sought-after slice of 1977 whilst second single N-N-E-R-V-O-U-S was released the following year, produced by the legendary Shel Talmy (The Who / Kinks). The band split up when Polydor passed on the option of an LP. They got back together to unsuccessfully audition for the film Quadrophenia. In 1979 Trash recorded a couple of tracks for Police producer Nigel Gray. By this time Simon Butler-Smith was on drums and Neil Cossar had joined on second guitar. In 2011 Only Fit For The Bin released the compilation CD This Is Complete Trash, followed by the vinyl version Bashing Out The Chords LP in 2023. Reviews were so positive that Trash decided to give it one last go, Mark Wolfie Wolfenden joined on bass to record the 2025 single Matter Of Time. The sessions were great fun, so Trash decided to play their first gigs since 1978, proving that high energy rocknroll never goes out of fashion! SOCIAL SECURITY After seeing The Damned perform in late 76, Social Security left their jobs and signed on. They recruited 'Spy' a Damned roadie so named because the Damned were convinced he was a spy for the Pistols. With 'Spy' on board as their new singer, The Socials became major players in the Bristol and West Country's burgeoning punk scene. Signed by Heartbeat Records They went on to record their first single on Bristol's newly formed Heartbeat record label. The single, a four track E.P. Was critically acclaimed by the legendary John Peel. Over the years the single has been re-released appearing on many highly regarded Punk anthology albums. After a lot of arm twisting by their former management and due to public pressure Social Security relented and have now reformed playing extensively and showcasing their unique wit and song writing abilities. Social Security are true originals, Don't miss them!!

Chuck Ragan’s bracing new release Till Midnight once again confirms what the iconoclastic singer-songwriter’s fans have known all along: that he’s a deeply compelling songwriter and an effortlessly charismatic performer, as well as a true believer in music’s ability to illuminate and inspire. Till Midnight‘s ten typically impassioned new Ragan compositions embody the artist’s trademark mix of eloquent lyrical insight and catchy, forceful songcraft. The album’s formidable blend of head and heart is reflected on such new tunes as “Something May Catch Fire,” “Vagabond,” “Non Typical,” “Bedroll Lullaby” and “Wake With You,” on which Ragan applies his distinctively raspy voice and sharp melodic sensibility to vividly expressive tunes that reflect both his early grounding in traditional American music and his deep affinity for rock n’ roll. “There’s a lot of love songs on this one,” notes Ragan, whose work has always shown a knack for addressing individual concerns as well as societal ones. “I love to write love songs because it’s the most powerful emotion. It’s what grounds us to this Earth and makes us want to fight to make the world a better place. “I always just try to write from the heart and make the music as genuine as I possibly can,” he continues. “By doing that, I’m usually writing about whatever’s going on in my life.

The Yummy Fur’s first album of new material in over 25 years is seductive and ambiguous; a fast-paced flip through scenes from art, myth, life and fantasy; a witty whole made from glittering scraps. The band’s original incarnation - fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist John McKeown from 1992 to 1999, with past members from Franz Ferdinand and beloved by John Peel - morphed from making quick-hit cartoon-art songs to Eno and Cale-influenced creepers, populated by characters from McKeown’s life in Glasgow and the films, books and poetry that he lived a parallel life through. "Everybody Talks About The Weather" (out on Sep 24th through Upset The Rhythm) delights in using every past iteration of the band as potent collage material: a melee of sounds and ideas that exist at once, revealing themselves, then dipping back into hiding. Recorded by the original core trio of McKeown, Brian MacDougall (guitar) and Paul Thomson (drums), Everybody Talks About The Weather comes 17 years after the band reformed for sporadic live shows and seven years after the release of their sorta-greatest hits compilation Piggy Wings (Rock Action). Ten tracks long, with nothing to spare, it is as condensed and vital as their best songs, offering a new clarity of sound that brings their ambiguities to light. Everybody Talks About The Weather is an unpredictable album from an unpredictable group, but ending on a moment of almost uncomplicated light is maybe it's biggest surprise.

Dense, tightly orchestrated sonic assaults, and spooky ambience that at times can feel like youre listening to the sound of a Warner brothers cartoon having a punch up.

British singer-songwriter, poet, and recording artist with one of the most quietly decorated careers in contemporary folk and blues. Born in Kent into a large Maltese, Egyptian, and Italian family, Pete cut his teeth playing the folk and blues clubs of New York's East Village before returning home to record his debut with the legendary Billy Childish, released on Damaged Goods Records. His fourth album, Theosophy, brought in an extraordinary cast: Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach and guitarist Barrie Cadogan performed on the record, with Grammy-winning producer Tchad Blake and DJ Andrew Weatherall shaping the sound. The accolades that came back were something else entirely: Ray Davies, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Yoko Ono all became vocal admirers. In 2013, Pete stepped onto the stage of London's Royal Festival Hall at the Meltdown Festival to sing "Woman" and "(Just Like) Starting Over" alongside Yoko Ono herself. His most recent album, Wondrous Afternoon, was recorded in Rome with producer Luca Sapio at the legendary Piero Umiliani Sound Workshop for Blind Faith Records, the Italian independent label that has become his creative home.

Asbo Derek's particular form of affordable art has been described as double-garage cabaret.

THE AMBER SQUAD The Amber Squad bring vibrant, high-energy power-pop and pub-rock shaped since the late 70s. Their debut single, boosted by John Peel, launched them onto stages across the UK.

With original members still driving the sound, The Amber Squad deliver catchy melodies, tight performances and an enduring, feel-good musical punch. THE SLEEPERS The Sleepers return to the stage with the energy that made them one of the most exciting underground bands to emerge from the late 70s punk scene. Formed in 1979, the band first made their mark with the cult-favourite Angel in a Raincoat EP, gaining national attention and airplay from John Peel. Their melodic, hard-hitting sound led to support slots with the Skids and Cockney Rejects and cemented their reputation across the UK and Europe. Revived decades later after a Berlin band covered their debut single, The Sleepers hit the stage once again to packed rooms and an international fanbase. Recent releases on Queen Mum Records and a successful 2025 run have reignited demand for their powerful live shows.

Mildred is a band from Oakland, CA of four equal parts. They don’t have a lead singer, no one person writes the songs. The songs that make up Fenceline come together as a group with their genesis sprouting from any one of their members - Henry Easton Koehler (vocals, guitar), Jack Schrott (vocals, guitar), Matt Palmquist (vocals, bass, woodwinds) or Will Fortna (drums, production) - each time. The songs are often wrestled from the lead writer by the other three, a lyric might have been mumbled absentmindedly for a few days before one of the other three grabs at it. If you ask any Mildred member what their favourite part of Fenceline is, it will never be something they wrote. If you pin them down and ask them what their favourite part of something they did write was, it will always be something somebody else added to it. Summed up neatly by Clash Magazine saying, “imagine if Pavement went Americana and you’d be close”, Mildred make music that is pure and poetic, gently addictive and never overwrought. Mildred is a vehicle for these four people to continue to spend time in each other’s company. Most bands are formed so they can get out of whatever diy space they start out playing in, Mildred was formed so they can spend more time there. Presented by Love Thy Neighbour. This is an 18+ event

Chris Helme, frontman of John Squires post-Stone Roses band The Seahorses and acclaimed solo artist, brings an evening of Seahorses classics, songs from his latest album, World of my Own a diary of a 10-year period in Chris life plus other selections from his impressive solo career. His latest LP. World of my Own, follows his critically acclaimed 2012 record The Rookery. Echoing the fragility of Gram Parsons, while flirting with the rustic side of Neil Young (Uncut), his dreamy but driven indie folk (Q Magazine), and blistering voice continue to stop audiences in their tracks. You can expect Chris blend of honesty and anecdotes, following a 30-year career in the music industry, alongside his distinctive vocals and a raw, enthralling performance, that his solo shows have become known for.

In 2024, Bec O’Malley went on a hike in the Peak District with his friends. He’d taken his acoustic guitar with him and decided to film a quick video of him covering Dylan Gossett’s ‘Coal’ while out on the misty paths. In the short clip, the young musician forgets the words a few lines in, but there was something about it that connected with those who saw it on their algorithm. Perhaps it was the unpolished charm of the video – mistake left in, cut off before he could try again – or his resonant vocals that hit in even just a few seconds, or a combination of the two. The likes quickly poured in, more so than for any other video he’d posted on TikTok before, igniting interest in this unknown talent.

"Australian punk royalty" (Monster Children, Tone Deaf) These New South Whales are a belt with many notches. Their "irresistible" songwriting (Kerrang!) and "old-school-cool energy" (The Line of Best Fit) have earned them international acclaim, an ARIA nomination, and a reputation as "one of the best punk bands in Australia" (triple j). Their hit Comedy Central show - touted as "the punk Flight of the Conchords" (NME) and "the best mockumentary since Spinal Tap" (Monster Children) - saw them become the first Australian band to develop and license a TV series to a cable television network. And their podcast What A Great Punk ended its debut year inside Spotify's top five music podcasts before enjoying a sold-out live run at the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. While their reputation as all-round entertainers grows, their music has long outgrown the comedy label that defined their formative years. Their latest album, TNSW, was nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock Album after debuting at #9 on the ARIA Australian Album Charts, while single 'Changes' earned full rotation on triple j, beginning 2023 as the station's 11th-most played track. It's "the group's crowning achievement", says NME, and according to Mojo, "It's not even funny how comprehensively they kick the ass of most other contemporary punk-leaning ensembles".

Modern Woman, the London art-rock outfit fronted by primary songwriter Sophie Harris, are set to release their anticipated debut album ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ on May 1st 2026 via their new label One Little Independent Records. ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ represents the culmination of Modern Woman’s journey from Harris’s early, intimate songwriting project into a full-bodied band capable of folding post-punk, avant-garde, and folk traditions into a live force of dynamic originality. At its heart, the record explores the strange poetry buried within the ordinary. Harris’s lyrics, steeped in literary detail and filmic atmosphere, draw from a fascination with the dark underbelly of the everyday and the contradictions of womanhood. Harris explains, “A vital theme I’ve always wanted in Modern Woman is the idea of conflicting things, of the tender/harsh, loud/quiet and scrappy/polished. The style of everybody’s playing, drawing from a melting pot of influences, coming together to form something new.” Modern Woman’s sound emerged from years of creative refinement. The band coalesced when Harris met violinist and composer David Denyer, who brought a background in experimental composition and textural sound work. Joined by Juan Brint-Gutiérrez on bass and saxophone and Adam Blackhurst on drums, the group forged a style that values the contrasting harsh edges of folk lyricism and noise that collides with melody. Working with producer Joel Burton (Naima Bock, Katy J Pearson, Vanishing Twin), they found a live immediacy that channels the raw intensity of their performances into a sound that is both rich and unpredictable.

90 years on from The Battle of Cable Street in East London it has never been more timely to celebrate and reflect on the courage, community strength and neighbourly unity shown that day, and in similar incidents such as the Battle of South Street in Worthing 1934 where Mosley's British Union of Fascists were also confronted, right up to today, as seen with 'The Battle of Trafalgar Street' in June this year here in Brighton.

From France and the Brighton scene itself - three acts that turn introspection into something you can dance to. Charleen brings 80s-soaked new wave from the French Alps - the woman behind Indochine's "No Name," now carving her own path, alone on stage with nothing but guitar, synths and a voice that stares straight into the dark. No Empire deliver atmospheric rock built for heartbreak and euphoria in equal measure - sad music for happy people, straight off the back of a BBC Introducing feature. Seadog close the night with anthemic electric & acoustic textures that drift somewhere between lullaby and anthem - the kind of sound that quiets a room, then sets it alight. Three different textures with one shared obsession: turning what's inside into something worth shouting about. Presented by 50cc Promotions. All ages

Sugar-free presents: Pancho Started in 2024 by Chris Collis (drums, TTNG), Glen Hodgson (guitar, Delta Sleep) and Joe Kent (bass), Brighton based Pancho is an excuse to play, socialise and connect with like-minded music folks. No strings, less pressure, less running on a hamster wheel, it’s a fun DIY side project that takes the band back to their roots of playing tiny basement shows and writing the kind of songs they want, for nothing more than enjoyment. Recorded in autumn 2025 and released on BSM & Sofa Boy Records in 2026, Pancho’s first EP blends the energy of post-hardcore with the emotional delivery of Midwest emo and the technical complexity of math rock, while refusing to be confined to any one genre. Inventory Inspired by the weird and playful alt-rock of the 90s, Copenhagen-based Inventory have crafted a sound consisting of equal parts pop hooks, dissonant tension and jazz-sensibilities. The result is guitar-driven music that effortlessly combines the unexpected, the weird, and the soothing. Following the release of their EP Sunday Tonne in January 2025, Inventory have spent the past year performing across Denmark and Europe, including a tour with Delta Sleep. The last year has been spent in the studio creating the band’s debut album ‘People Pyramids’, due for release in February 2027. + guests
