“part self-interrogation and part community offering, serving up tiny bursts of joy and doubt as refuge for anyone navigating a similar path.”
Pitchfork

‘“Going To Hell’ as a celebration of personal freedom, and the unwavering right for people to be afforded the opportunity to be comfortable in themselves.”
DIY MAGAZINE

“Altogether, Going to Hell presents the most intimate and complete vision of Lande Hekt yet.”
UNDER THE RADAR

Lande Hekt’s music is born out of self-reflection, social and political awareness, and her capacity for evocative storytelling. Having explored this personal song-writing approach with her former band, Muncie Girls, with their punchy yet tender punk-flecked songs, Lande released her debut solo record Going To Hell in 2021 via queer and trans run independent label Get Better Records. Going To Hell presents its raw honesty amongst understatedly luminous melodies and candid, unpretentious lyrics which contemplate, among other things, her experience coming out as gay. Lande’s music sits beautifully alongside such essential artists as The Wedding Present, The Sundays, The Replacements, Sleeper and Natalie Merchant.

With her debut album barely a year old, 2022 saw Lande armed with a whole new collection of song-form vignettes and musings on her life and experiences with second album House Without a View (partnering again with Get Better Records and Prize Sunflower Records in the UK). In 2023, Lande Hekt continued her poignant musical introspection with two new singles ‘Pottery Class’ and ‘Axis’.

Lande has toured in the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia supporting the likes of Alvvays, The Beths, Laura Jane Grace and the legend that is Tricky. She has also played at Glastonbury festival, as well as events for The Big Issue and Corbyn’s Labour Party.

“There’s a real sense of narrative journey here that elevates the record from a solid indie debut to a piece of art that genuinely captures something vital about what it means to hope for better in 2025”
Clash 8/10

Originally a one-woman lo-fi bedroom pop project by Elise Cook, Soot Sprite has evolved over the past few years into a fully-fledged, touring alt-indie shoegaze outfit. Now joined by Sean Mariner (bass/backing vocals) and Sam Cother (drums/backing vocals), the Exeter trio released their debut album ‘Wield Your Hope Like A Weapon’ in May 2025.

The single ‘Days After Days’, draws on 90s alt-indie influences with echoes of Sweet Pill to deliver an alt-indie ode about recognising the small victories and finding the good in an increasingly dark world.

"Dragged Up’s aesthetic recalls the powerful Olympia/Scotland connection of the late 80s, but the band pass through lots of turf.... My fave parts display a noisy free rock edge, it's not easy to keep up. Just try." Byron Coley, The Wire

"Glasgow art-punks riding a relentless wave of restless creativity and blessed with a punishing knack for chaos and groove" Fran Carlyon, Heavy Metal Kids

"When the band hits their stride, they’re unstoppable...’ - SNACK mag Scotland

"This tightrope walk of unpredictability and assuredness makes it a thrilling listen" Moof Magazine

The Sus Four are a new band by the people behind Brilliant Mind

Kitchen-sink indiepop / powerpop in the vein of Big Star, Exploding Hearts or Dexys

Brutalligators started in late 2016 when Paul and Luke met for a coffee and discovered a mutual love of 90s and 00s emo and hardcore. Having been in various hardcore and emo bands throughout the 00s and 10s, they decided to try and write some songs together and Brutalligators was born. Simo and Rhys joined soon after, before they debuted at The Good Ship in Kilburn in 2017. They self-released their first EP Animals I Wish I’d Seen in 2017, following with the second EP Friends I Wish I’d Had in 2019 via Real Ghost Records. Their debut album This House is Too Big, This House is Too Small was released in 2021 on Beth Shalom Records, which Noizze commented that the album “presents the band in their greatest, most intimate and most cathartic form.” Since releasing This House is Too Big… Brutalligators have been tearing up stages across the UK and Europe, supporting bands such as Fresh, Michael Cera Palin, Dikembe, Johnny Foreigner and Martha.

‘Novel presentation notwithstanding, it’s a remarkably immersive listen. Shades of midwestern emo mingle with the closer-to-home approach of Los Campesinos! or Frightened Rabbit, weaving diffidence and careful enunciation into strange, tattoo-worthy mantras of hope and pain”

ME REX is made up of longtime friends Myles McCabe (Guitar/Keys/Vocals), Phoebe Cross (Drums/Vocals) and Rich Mandell (Bass/Keys/Vocals/Production). Based in London and Brighton, the band have carved a distinct niche for themselves. Over the course of two double EPs and one shuffle album trio have continued to evolve with their blend of introspective lyricism, “surging, gargantuan hooks” and soundscapes.  

ME REX defies genre boundaries and typical song structures, while touching on themes of friendship, forgiveness, loss and joy wrapped in sweeping metaphors of alchemy and mythology. Across the bands catalogue they weave in influences taken from art and lore, from the idea of “Comets as harbingers of change and gateways to other realms” to ancient foundational narratives and their real-world reflections, managing to shape them into something closer to modern humanity.

With each ME REX release the band have continued to captivate crowds, most notably at End Of The Road, Latitude Festival, SXSW and 2000 Trees Festival, and many others.
