Ribbon Skirt is a Montreal-based post-punk band led by Anishinaabe musician Tashiina Buswa and lead guitarist Billy Riley. The band released their debut album, Bite Down, on Mint Records in April 2025. Produced by Scott Munro (Preoccupations) and mixed by Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), the album marks a shift toward a darker, more introspective sound, exploring themes of memory, grief, and Buswa’s connection to her Indigenous identity and cultural practices. Ribbon Skirt has performed at major festivals across North America, including SXSW, New Colossus, Sled Island, Sappyfest, and Pop Montreal, sharing the stage with artists like Dehd, Ombiigizi, Packs, Wombo, Marnie Stern, Enumclaw, and Chad VanGaalen.

OMERTA - ugly noise for ugly people https://www.instagram.com/omertabandmusicverycool/ VOLK SOUP - https://linktr.ee/volksoup Leeds six-piece Volk Soup is a blistering, brass-infused freefall through post-punk, noise rock, and disjointed rhythm. Abrasive and theatrical, their live set is packed with sudden turns, fractured structures, and a chaotic sense of momentum that never fully settles. Volk Soup blend guitars, horns, and percussion into a dense, tangled sound-equal parts menace, absurdity, and catharsis. Songs twist and rupture without warning, leaning into collapse as a compositional tool. The result is volatile and unpredictable, but never careless. Debut album 10p Jazz out now.

Ragingly bright post-punk quartet Ringlets emerged from Aotearoa’s musical ether in 2021; carving out space with their distinct blend of delicate wit, grit and evident sonic technicality. With a highly durable, machine-tested rhythm section and two of Auckland’s leading lyrical & melodic consultants, Ringlets have been fast-building a solid reputation. Catching the eye of former Pitchfork editor Chris Ott, Autumn 2023 saw the band release their eponymous debut under Ott’s label Mutual Skies. Produced by De Stevens (Office Dog, Erny Belle) and the band themselves, the 10-track album is a sporadic and riotous introduction to this exciting musical offering. Cut to the year 2025, and few post-punk records from Aotearoa would have been more anticipated this year than the band's sophomore offering The Lord Is My German Shepherd (Time for Walkies), which saw the four-piece return to The Lab with Olly Harmer and usher in Michael Logie (The Mint Chicks) to produce alongside. Mixed later at Abbey Road Studios by Isaac Keating, the result is a collection of songs more cohesive and controlled - yet constantly changing and re-composing itself, totally deserving of the ‘Flying Nun Records’ alumni position it’s earned them.

Over the last five years of eclectic releases and impassioned live performances, The Slingers have cemented themselves as one of the most unique and hyped bands of the Australian alternative scene. The band signed to Flightless Records in 2020 (King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard), releasing a double A-side immediately in collaboration with Melbourne icon Spike Fuck. Then 2023 saw the release of their debut LP, Sentimentalism, which peaked at #4 for ARIA’s Top Aus Albums and #5 on Top Vinyl Albums and instantly sold out of physical copies. The band opened 2025 with a sold-out double headline show in Melbourne with visiting Irish artist, Susan O’Neill. In September, the band will release, ‘Payphone Man’, along with a video clip shot with London filmmaker Archie Chew. This will be the first single of their incoming sophomore album, True Believers. The launch will be celebrated with an East Coast tour in Australia, followed by the band’s first foray into the UK and Ireland.
