are a five-piece pop sensation making what they like to call “Channel-Surf Rock”: an eclectic blend of jangle pop, folk and new wave. Working with producer Oli Deakin (CMAT, Elanor Moss), the band are confidently creating a sound that is entirely their own. Equal parts angular and lush, distorted guitars and omnichord live in precarious harmony with lap steel and harmonica. They toured the UK with Amble, playing legendary venues such as Barrowland Ballroom and Shepherd’s Bush Empire. At home, they’ve supported Clifford’s, Madra Salach and Brógeal, and will be supporting The Pogues in December (Confidential TBA).

Originating from noisy improvisations and chaotic concoctions recorded in a basement in Cork, Ireland, is a raw by-product of abrasive, frenzied and hypnotic energy, looking to scratch the miserable itch of life at the bottom of the barrel. Following the release of their EP, Oaf Milk in 2023, and a vinyl release by Swish Swash Records in 2024, the band are ready to share their debut full length album. The Ick was released 24th April 2026 via Trapped Animal Records' new imprint, We Go to 11. A no-wave quartet comprised of Arthur Pawsey (guitar, vocals), Michel Fitzgerald (bass), Sam Clague (bass clarinet, flute) and Ruairi de Búrca (drums), Crying Loser channel the angular and frenetic energy of pioneers such as James Chance and This Heat, fusing this together with more colourful and upbeat influences to create something fiercely raw and wonderfully eccentric. With its frantic energy and dizzying sense of urgency, The Ick offers a sonic experience like no other.

.pyrus is the retro-pop, indie-jazz dream child of Dublin musicians Finn Smyth & Mabel Thew. Their distinct sound is brought to life by a five-piece band combining soft vocals, warbly keys, retro synth lines, driving drums and a wide range of natural, urban and space-themed samples for a highly energetic and uplifting live show. Their unique combination of genres, visuals and samples creates a universe that blends the beauty of earthly nature with the vastness and excitement of space exploration and invites listeners to travel through it with them. For fans of Crumb, Men I Trust and Mild High Club.

genre has often been described as having a garage/punk sound with hints of 80's & 90's punk and indie rock. The band has noted 'The Breeders', 'Gilla Band' and 'Broadcast' as formative influences. Since forming in 2022, they have built a reputation for being one of the must see live acts at festivals and showcases around Europe.
