Novelty Island \[aka Tom McConnell\] releases third album Jigsaw Causeway on October 3rd, 2025 via Liverpool indies 9x9 Records & Ripe Records. In support, the Jigsaw Causeway tour will be trailing across the country throughout the autumn, calling at Novelty Island strongholds of Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and London.

Novelty Island’s hook-filled dream pop channels surrealism and Northern melancholy through classic songwriting. The project is led by Liverpool-based songwriter and producer, Tom McConnell, who describes the sound as “Paul McCartney having an argument with Bernard Black”. Eclectic songs inspired by childhood, motorways, trains, old televisions, cowboys, space, birds and balloons form their first two albums How Are You Coping With This Century? and Wallsend Weekend Television. Both albums have received great support from Shindig!, MOJO, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing and Absolute Radio amongst others. The Novelty Island live band have performed at Glastonbury Festival and toured the UK extensively as a headline act and support to Sea Power, The Pale White, Scott Lavene, High Llamas and China Crisis.

Support will come from Siblings and Credits

Siblings are an alternative indie folk band based in south London. Formed in the heatwaves of 2022, Siblings’ sound draws on ethereal folk, classic ‘70s storytelling, and the atmospheric flair of spirit jazz. Self producing their music at Strange Melody Recording—a creative hub co-owned by drummer/producer Ben Andrewes and guitarist/keys player Rob Fenner—the band showcases their ability to merge timeless songwriting with rich production and immersive textures. At the heart of the group lies frontman Theo DW’s baritone, guiding listeners through the lush sonic landscape, balancing vibrant imagery with gently infectious melody. The band have played a handful of shows in London, toured as the backing band for Californian band Sylvie and in 2026 the band will be branching out around the UK and EU in support of their upcoming EP.

Credits offer an escape from the humdrum of modern life. Channeling Laurel Canyon Americana, 2000s chamber pop, and alt-country through a reverence for classic songwriting, they have emerged in 2025 as one of Liverpool's most exciting homegrown acts. “Intimate, dynamic, and laced with just the right amount of bite” - their live show has garnered a reputation for lush harmonies and raw musicianship, and has seen them support the likes of britpop-legends Shack. They’ve been compared to Wilco, Doves, Midlake, and CSN&Y, and are set to release their third single in the coming months.
