Driven purely by the urge to create, spiderhoney are a band born out of burnout. Tired of being stretched thin in low-paid hospitality jobs, their music channels the frustration of hustle culture into something raw, honest, and effortlessly cool. Taking cues from the likes of Courtney Barnett, English Teacher, and Fontaines D.C., spiderhoney tell everyday stories of work, sleep and stress. Focussed on creating for the sake of creating, their music hits back against the pressures of modern life.

No Scrubs: 90s & 00s R&B Party (Bristol)

Party

GROS COEUR (meaning “Big Heart”) is an antidote to gloom, an open invitation to rage, a shot of psychedelic euphoria that demands to be played loud and experienced live.

With GROS COEUR, there’s no fuss, no compromise. When it comes to music, this four-piece devours the road, never its pride. Their debut Gros Disque made a thunderous landing in 2023, followed by a hundred explosive shows—blistering servings of sonic caviar.

From dive bars to established venues, and from clubs to festivals, GROS COEUR has forged its identity where it feels most at home: on stage.

With five green bug hats peeking above the stage, Bug Teeth conjure a world just beyond reach. Oneiric, spellbinding, and insistent, harsh guitars and skittering drum and bass rhythms break through hazy ambient dreamscapes. Lyrics are direct and poetic, each song a slide beneath a microscope, examining the intimate, the infinite, and everything in between.

Born from a DIY spirit, Bug Teeth began as the electronic bedroom project of front-person PJ Johnson, who self-produced spectral melodies. From these delicate, lo-fi beginnings emerged a raw, celestial sound, drawing listeners into its unique gravity. Over time, the project grew into a full band. Bug Teeth’s live performances are both fragile and ferocious, a hypnotic push and pull between distortion and stillness.

Their music bends genre, pulling influences from dream pop, electronic ambience, and breakbeat to craft something that feels both weightless and deeply grounded. Their latest single, Landscaping, expanded their sonic world further, balancing beauty with abrasive grief. With consistent radio and editorial support, alongside a growing cult following, Bug Teeth continue to evolve - shapeshifting, sprawling, and spiriting listeners away into the space between waking and dreaming.

Bristol four-piece NoViolet don’t play grunge revival - they spit it out half-chewed, drenched in fuzz, and stitched to the emotional hangover of post-punk anxiety. Their debut album is a love letter to distortion and discontent, where jagged guitar lines writhe beneath vocals that oscillate between smirking disaffection and total, glorious breakdown.

foot foot are an emerging bristol underground band who draw on the traditions of folk, math-rock and discordant post-rock to produce their intricate brand of songcraft, creating moments of intimate melancholy before launching into fast, jagged rhythms. their use of contrast -- indie-flecked songwriting with irregular, winding passages, or rich violin and vocal melodies with avant-jazz freakouts -- has marked them out as one of the scenes most innovative and impactful acts.

following a sold out headline at Rough Trade, supporting acts like Deerhoof and Horse Jumper of Love, foot foot released their debut album 'still waters, empty house' earlier this year to critical acclaim.

An accomplished work of punk ethereality, Mo Dotti's debut record Opaque (out September 2024) exemplifies the mix of Dinosaur Jr.-esque clamor cut with sweet Sundays-worthy melodies that the Los Angeles four piece have been meticulously crafting over the course of their brief but compelling discography. Building upon the glow-in-the-dark fuzz of 2020’s Blurring EP and the psychedelic pastiche of 2022’s Guided Imagery, Opaque showcases the sound of a band that has figured out how to bend and shape abstract washes of noise in and around memorable pop hooks into songs that reach for the stars.

A formidable live band who’ve been tapped to open for groups like beloved Japanese hardcore punks Otoboke Beaver and were invited by shoegazers Nothing to join the line-up of their inaugural Slide Away Festival, Mo Dotti bring the thrill of their live show to Opaque, which has the aggressive, in-the-room feel of Ride’s first four EPs mixed with the lush yet caustic beauty of My Bloody Valentine in their Isn’t Anything era. Through it all shines the essential quality that has always made Mo Dotti stand out in the oversaturated dream pop field: the songs themselves.

ATMOS BLOOM

atmos bloom are a London based dream-gaze band, who released their self-recorded debut album via LA-based Spirit Goth Records (CASTLEBEAT). The project began as the lo-fi bedroom project of Curtis Paterson & Tilda Gratton, but now with additional live members the band have played a fl urry of sold out live shows including Manchester Psych Festival. Taking infl uences from 90s shoegaze such as my bloody valentine and modern indie-pop like DIIV, Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils; their sound is the perfect balance of reverb-drenched guitars and indie pop melodies.

HALF HAPPY

Shooting up through Cardiff’s flourishing music scene is Half Happy. The four-piece bounce around the walls of dream-pop, indie-rock and post punk but don't stay in one place for too long. These 90’s babies mold their influences with fresh force, creating engaging melody-stuffed storytelling. Honest observations melt into day-dream lyrics that stick close to tight indie drums. The bass lines strut while the guitar riffs walk the line of heavy and heavenly. They released their debut EP ‘Conversation Killer’ in September 2024 with ‘Bloom’ and ‘Well Done Honey’ receiving praise from BBC Radio 6’s Emily Pilbeam, including them in BBC’s Introducing’s Best of The Year. Over 10 years of best-friendship between the band is palpable from their live performance. It’s a running joke that isn’t getting old yet, the band is way more than Half Happy.

Hailing from cosmopolitan London, the music of Karma Sheen merges Hindustani classical, fuzzy 60s rock a la Jimi Hendrix, and Sufi inspired lyricism, deeply rooted in cultural heritage.

Spearheaded by Sameer Khan, who is formally trained by a 600-year-old lineage of musicians from modern-day Pakistan, Karma Sheen brings timeless traditions to new realms, captivating audiences along the way.

Through embracing the Hindustani format while drinking from retro aesthetics and re-signifying it all with the avantgardism of neo-psychedelia, they create something both recognisable and new. It is guaranteed you will not find another band who sound like Karma Sheen.

Their debut self titled album was released in 2023, followed by a national UK tour bookended by a triumphant headline home-coming sold out show in London’s Two Palms, Hackney.

Known for their energetic, transcendent and captivating live shows, fuelled by a plethora of electrified folk instruments, the band capture the hearts and imaginations to all they perform for.

Previous support slots for the band include Yin Yin, Say She She, W.I.T.C.H., Os Mutantes, Dur Dur Band, Sarathy Korwar, Marcos Valle, Derya Yildrim and more, with headline sold out shows at prestigious London venues The Lexington, Two Palms Hackney and Rich Mix.

Brighton quartet School Disco return with their striking new single ‘Happen’ (out now via Krautpop!), a brooding and hypnotic fusion of prog, psychedelic rock and krautrock. Known for their high-octane live shows, the band have previously shared stages with Wolf Alice, Lime Garden, Froth, Bo Ningen and Frankie and the Witch Fingers, building a reputation for textured, experimental and musically rich performances.

Recorded live with minimal overdubs, ‘Happen’ captures School Disco at their most raw and expansive yet, drawing inspiration from Black Sabbath, CAN, and Meddle-era Pink Floyd while venturing into darker, more meditative territory. With tastemaker support from BBC 6 Music, Radio X, Louder Than War and more, the single marks the start of an ambitious new chapter for the band — one that promises heavy psych jams, expansive soundscapes and progressive, immersive songwriting.

Manchester’s alt-rock outliers cruush are survivors of an identity crisis.

Emerging from shoegaze’s reverb-drenched fog, they’ve hacked away into the cliff face of their myriad influences to arrive at something rawer, sharper, and infinitely more personal. A “dirty collage” as the band themselves put it. A sound that thrives on contradiction, brims with contorted attack, sour rage, and distorted sass. The band comprise Amber Warren (lead vocals/guitar), Arthur Boyd (guitar), Fotis Kalantzis (drums), and Bruno Evans (bass). Their new approach is leaner, more direct, and sincere. They’ve taken their influences to the gym and shaken off the layers of fuzz, delay and reverb, pulling everything closer to the bone. Broadcasters and journalists alike are enchanted, with Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1), Steve Lamacq (BBC 6), Emily Pilbeam (BBC 6), John Kennedy (Radio X), The Independent, NYLON, NME, Brooklyn Vegan, DORK, DIY, So Young, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, Rough Trade and Consequences of Sound lining up to call themselves fans. Likewise, their peers are equally captivated, earning the outfit tours and shows with BDRMM, Pale Blue Eyes, NewDad, GIFT, BASHT and Girl Scout.

ĠENN - A Reprise (That Girl)

Bibi Club is the musical project of Adèle Trottier-Rivard on vocals and keyboard, and Nicolas Basque on guitar. They explore the liminal spectrum between the here and beyond, pointing to love, nature, and community as the unifying purpose. The duo now reveal themselves through avant-pop and electronic body music with elements of dark wave and neofolk, simultaneously borrowing from baroque sounds with harpsichords, trumpets, and ritual chants to be learned by heart. The pair named themselves “Bibi Club” for the discotheque in their living room, where their “bibis”—loved ones—come to dance.

On their third album, Amaro, Bibi Club invites us to brave the dark beasts that shadow us beneath the surface and devote ourselves to the therapeutic power of a fierce will to live. It explores the sensitive spectrum between the here and there, pointing to love, nature, and community as the unifying purpose. The songs draw a map of a world of its own, following the trajectory traced by the Bibis in recent years. Now out of the living room, we dance in a mental space overloaded with grief and fear in their rawest forms. Following the death of two loved ones in the last year, the mantra “I want to love, I want to live” resonates intensely in each melody; if the heart is a place that never dies, we must reach it as quickly as possible.
