It does its best, but it can get things wrong. If it has, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Brighton ska and reggae crew who headlined the dome's first live event after lockdown and have since turned up at boomtown, victorious and rebellion. Hard steppers, dub and trad ska rhythms shoved through punk guitars, with lyrics that go straight at social and political subjects. Recent releases include the reworks and in control eps.

King's lynn ska punk lifers who have recorded a live session at maida vale, picked up radio 1 punk show airplay and toured as far as russia, canada and japan. Brass-heavy and fast, with shouted lyrics about power, war, ptsd and economic inequality. Their album the road to sedition came out on tns records in 2023.
“I'm not even that much of a ska fan but Faintest Idea are brilliant and particularly brilliant live.”

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.
