The upbeat indie pop of Liverpool’s Circa Waves embodies the happy-go-lucky chaos of your final summer of adolescence. Led by Kieran Shudall’s peppy vocals, the four-piece revel in jangly guitars on UK top ten debut Young Chasers (2015) and 2020’s two-part release Sad Happy, which NME described as a “contemplative, conflicted look at modern life”. A standout indie staple, ‘T-Shirt Weather’ is guaranteed to provoke mosh pits and a downpour of beer at the band’s gigs, which include the O2 Academy Brixton’s first show after lockdown, and opening slots for The 1975 and The Libertines.
