A brighton indie-rock band who have become regulars on the hope & ruin's bill, one of the city's key grassroots stages. They describe the sound as music from your neighbour's garden: loose guitar songs with a psychedelic tilt.

A brighton four-piece who earned an asbo magazine feature barely six months into playing together. They call their sound floaty indie rock with a dark, grungy edge, and their live sets land heavier than the recordings. Their single soda, out in august 2026, is their most driving release so far.
“we describe ourselves as floaty indie rock, but it's a bit grunge and a bit dark... it's indie rock with a bit of a twist!”

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.
