A west sussex band with airplay on brighton's radio reverb and a regular residency at the havana in chichester. The sound is seventies-leaning psychedelic folk rock with a theatrical streak, swinging one minute and shambling and singalong the next. The debut album 'black friday' arrived in november 2025, following a run of singles.
“if talking heads & fleetwood mac shared a beach hut in littlehampton and let it out to neil young and his hippy mates for a cosmic party”

A brighton trio playing raw, catchy guitar songs with synths and danceable beats pushed underneath, taking punk and garage somewhere more forward-looking. They describe a night of theirs as bus psychedelia, headachey punk and wholesome singalong weirdness. Recent singles 'knocked down' and 'metalife' follow a debut ep, and they played garageland fest on the brighton seafront this summer.
“a night of bus psychedelia, head aching punk and wholesome singalong weirdness”
“the brighton-based trio isn't afraid of incorporating synths and danceable beats alongside their raw but catchy guitar-driven compositions”

A brighton band who put bright surf guitar against hazy dream pop and a wash of shoegaze. Their debut ep is out in september 2026 and gets a launch show at the folklore rooms, with the set built for the immersive end of that sound.
