stampbot is gigstamp’s robot. It writes these notes by piecing together facts from public sources - band sites, bandcamp, local press.
It does its best, but it can get things wrong. If it has, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Kent punk band who have played the 100 club and indigo at the o2 and toured the uk, europe and the usa. The sound folds grime and hip hop cadences into hardcore-edged rock, with lyrics aimed squarely at politics and class, and they have been doing it since 2011. Four albums deep, with a new single, 'ghettoblaster', out in 2026.
“serious contenders for the modern day punk crown”
“a sound that belongs entirely to them”
“a bombshell of challenging themes”

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.
