SUMMARY:Master Boot Record & Fulci
DESCRIPTION:Computer-metal project Master Boot Record and death metal outfit Fulci have now announced a huge co-headline show for The Academy\, Dublin on Friday\, 13th November 2026. \nTickets from €32.50 (inc booking fee & venue facility fee) from Ticketmaster.ie. Bookings subject to 12.5% service charge per ticket (max €10.50) \nABOUT MASTER BOOT RECORD: Master Boot Record (aka MBR) is a Computer Metal project founded in 2016 by producer Vittorio D’amore mixing together heavy metal and synthesized electronic music. \nStarting in 2016 releasing albums under the indie chiptune/demoscene label Data Airlines has moved in 2018 to Blood Music to expand its audience to the electronic scene. In 2019 MASTER BOOT RECORD settled with Metal Blade Records\, the historic metal label based in Los Angeles to release the latest two albums “Floppy Disk Overdrive (2020)” and “Personal Computer (2022)” helping the project to gain increased popularity worldwide. MBR has also produced the video game “VirtuaVerse” as well as its original soundtrack. VirtuaVerse was released in 2020 on all gaming platforms as well as Nintendo Switch\, Xbox and Playstation. The project as a live band increased their live activity in 2022 including live performing artists such as the guitar virtuoso and Ibanez endorser Edoardo Taddei at lead guitars and technical death metal drummer Giulio Galati. \n MBR released 14 albums so far with multiple record labels and has been one of the most successful musicians on US digital distribution platform Bandcamp charting #1 in general charts several times. Because of that Bandcamp often featured the albums and made interviews directly with the artist. \nThe rapid growth of the project sparked an intense live activity with several tours in Europe and North American as well as participating to festivals such as Super Mag Fest (USA)\, Resurrection Fest (Spain)\, Brutal Assault (Czech Republic)\, Wacken Open Air (Germany)\, Baroeg Open Air (Netherlands)\, Resistanz Festival (UK)\, SWR Fest (Portugal)\, Frantic Fest (Italy).  \nIn 2024–2025\, MASTER BOOT RECORD expanded globally with the release of “Hardwarez” (Metal Blade Records\, October 2024)\, followed by an extensive world tour across North America\, Canada\, the UK\, and Europe between September and November 2024\, totaling more than 40 shows. \nThe band recently toured as support for the french electronic metal band Igorrr across Europe and is confirmed to perform at more European festival such as Brutal Assault\, Mystic Festival\, Motocultor\, Arc Tangent and more to be announced. \nThe plans for 2026 include a full North American tour in Spring and a full European / UK tour during the fall that are ready for announcement. \n  \nABOUT FULCI: Fulci is the death metal band named after the “Godfather of gore” Lucio Fulci. The band combines the two\nthings they like the most: horror movies and death metal. \nLucio Fulci films had a strong influence on the aesthetics of extreme music. Fulci’s intent is to pay homage to the maestro by creating concept albums based on his films. The band released three discs till now\, some of which have reached their 6th reissue. We did four USA tours as headliners plus several festivals and apparitions in Europe and South Africa. In 2023 we released a live session in Tampa\, Florida at the Morrisound Studios where American death metal was born. in 2024 will be released our 4th album via 20 Buck Spin Records. Fulci live shows try to resemble cinematic experiences through video projections\, lights\, synthesizers and horror staging. \nIn September 2023 we played a show in a movie theatre presenting our first short movie and soundtrack release. We have a regular collaboration with the fashion brand Slam Jam to develop events\, products and performances. We have a strong fanbase and among others we have been mentioned by Max Cavalera\, Eli Roth and Dwid Helion. KERRANG! Magazine gave us the 35th place on the chart of the 50 bands that have revitalized death metal over the past 10 years.

SUMMARY:Brian Fallon & The Painkillers
DESCRIPTION:With his new album Not Bad for New Jersey\, singer/songwriter Brian Fallon doubles down on the defiant romanticism that’s always fueled his songwriting\, resisting any impulse to grow more guarded with time. Before bringing his fifth solo LP to life\, the Gaslight Anthem frontman returned to the fatalistic love songs that rewired his brain as a child—moody radio mainstays authored by rock icons deep into their second act\, voiced by wild-eyed dreamers he alternately refers to as “beautiful losers” and “desperate lunatics.” As he assembled a set of songs populated by characters who love too hard and risk too much\, Fallon built up a body of work that charges forward with a reckless momentum: the singular internal motion of someone who’s been knocked off course more than once but still chooses to believe\, refusing to surrender to cynicism’s easy gravity. \nProduced by his repeat collaborator Butch Walker (Green Day\, Jesse Malin)\, Not Bad for New Jersey features guest spots from Brandon Flowers of The Killers\, Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen\, avant-garde guitar legend Marc Ribot\, and folk/country luminary Lori McKenna. Through a series of freewheeling sessions with Walker (who handled bass\, piano\, backing vocals\, and more) and Dr. Dog drummer Eric Slick\, Fallon summoned a frenetic collision of power-pop and heartland rock\, arriving at a perfect sonic counterpart to the album’s hot-blooded sincerity. “From the beginning I knew I had to fully lean into the passion and lunacy of all these songs I felt inspired by—there wasn’t much room for subtlety\,” says Fallon\, naming Bryan Adams’ “Run to You” and The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” among his touchstones for the LP. Mostly tracked live at Walker’s studio near Nashville\, Not Bad for New Jersey ultimately reveals an artist driven by the same rapturous abandon that animates his storytelling. “There was so much childlike joy in writing and recording all these songs\,” says Fallon. “The whole album came together so naturally\, with a level of creative fulfillment I hadn’t experienced in a very long time.”

SUMMARY:PorkPie
DESCRIPTION:9 Piece Band performing Rocksteady\, 2Tone and Original Ska\n\nPorkPie stand proudly at the heart of the UK’s modern ska revival\, blending the fire of classic 2-Tone with their own unmistakable energy. Over the last three years the band have stepped firmly into their stride\, releasing two full-length albums and an EP that have cemented their reputation as one of the most dynamic ska outfits on the circuit. \nTheir self-titled EP ‘Skandemic’ marked a turning point for Porkpie\, showcasing sharp songwriting\, powerful brass arrangements\, and the band’s signature ability to fuse social bite with irresistible rhythm. Building on that momentum\, 2025 saw the release of their acclaimed second album ‘9 On the Tiles’\, a record that broadened their sound while staying true to the ska roots that first inspired them. The album’s standout single ‘Bones’ became a breakout success and was picked up as a favourite by Craig Charles on BBC Radio 6 Music\, earning the band new listeners across the UK and beyond. \nKnown for their electric stage presence\, polished musicianship\, and a commitment to making every gig feel like a celebration\, PorkPie continue to rise through the ska scene with confidence and flair. In April 2026\, they’ll bring their unmistakable stomp to the London International Ska Festival\, appearing alongside reggae and roots luminaries Misty in Roots and The Cimarons a milestone that marks just how far the band have come. \nWith momentum on their side and a loyal\, ever-growing fanbase\, PorkPie are skanking forward with purpose-ready to bring their brass\, bounce\, and big-hearted spirit to audiences everywhere.

SUMMARY:Selective Memory presents WIDOWSPEAK
DESCRIPTION:The Workman’s Club\, Dublin\nFri 13th Nov. Doors 8pm\n\n\n\nBrooklyn-based indie rock band Widowspeak will perform at The Workman’s Club in Dublin on Friday\, 13th November. Known for their atmospheric soundscapes\, intricate guitar work\, and introspective songwriting\, the duo—comprising guitarist and vocalist Molly Hamilton alongside guitarist Robert Earl Thomas—delivers a distinctive blend of dreamy indie rock that has earned critical acclaim since their formation in 2010. \n\n\nAn album called “Roses” would be concerned with romantic gestures. Across the ten tracks that make up the seventh and newest Widowspeak record\, intimate spaces and stages of love are captured with a nostalgic\, vaseline-coated lens.  Candles burn inside red glass as lovers get close in a leather booth. Celebrity headshots gaze down like angels in a restaurant.  Elsewhere\, carnations are pressed in a black book and dancers pull each other close. Widowspeak is a band that riffs on big emotions without being too self-serious. \nThe sweetness\, even silliness\, of an extended limerent phase that becomes as all-consuming as a pulpy trade paperback. Cars and their drivers serve as a way to talk about codependency. And old love gets worn in\, soft as an old t-shirt.  If music can simultaneously be naturalistic and noir\, saturated and lush\, that is Widowspeak.  They’re a band that knows how to set a scene.

SUMMARY:Bec O'Malley
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, Bec O’Malley went on a hike in the Peak District with his friends. He’d taken his acoustic guitar with him and decided to film a quick video of him covering Dylan Gossett’s ‘Coal’ while out on the misty paths. In the short clip\, the young musician forgets the words a few lines in\, but there was something about it that connected with those who saw it on their algorithm. Perhaps it was the unpolished charm of the video – mistake left in\, cut off before he could try again – or his resonant vocals that hit in even just a few seconds\, or a combination of the two. The likes quickly poured in\, more so than for any other video he’d posted on TikTok before\, igniting interest in this unknown talent. \nO’Malley’s name may have been undiscovered when that video was posted\, but by that point\, he’d already been playing music and writing his own songs for years. Growing up in Stockport\, he first picked up a guitar aged 12\, learning the basics from his cousin and fleshing out the rest from YouTube tutorials. A few years later\, his interest turned from simply playing others’ creations to working on his own\, first in bands with school friends\, and then on his own. Along the way\, his sound evolved\, pulling in new influences and building the foundations for the music he makes today. “I was doing the indie stuff for so long\, and I was just getting bored of it\,” he explains. “I started listening to more of the modern side of country – Zach Bryan\, Morgan Wallen\, those guys – and it just revamped it in my head.” \n  \nRather than jumping on the bandwagon of the surging popularity of country music in the UK\, the genre is something that’s always been around O’Malley. He comes from an Irish family where music was always playing around the house and at family gatherings\, and “they’d always play all the country music – a bit of American country\, Irish country”. \nThe 23-year-old’s material\, though\, is a balance – one that draws from a world of Nashville skylines and pick-up trucks\, but also from his lived experience in the UK. Instead of parodying the language and topics of his American counterparts\, he puts his reality front and centre\, writing about things he and the people around him have seen or been through. “You don’t see many trucks around here\,” he laughs. “It just wouldn’t feel right to [copy US country] – it’d feel like role play.” It’s an approach he sees as having a unique allure to it: “No one in the States is going to sing it from a perspective that I’d sing it from.” \nSonically\, too\, he merges two disparate parts – country and indie – and\, rather than be seen as someone predominantly in one lane\, he wants to be known for his distinctive blend of them both. A love for The La’s\, Sam Fender and Oasis have fuelled the indie side of his writing\, with the latter band in particular having a huge impact on him – not just musically\, but in attitude and ambition\, too. The Gallaghers’ hometown of Burnage is just down the road from Stockport\, and their influence seeped into O’Malley’s surroundings early on. “You see Oasis and how big they got when they’re from just down the road\, and it’s like\, ‘If they can do it\, why can’t I?’” he reasons. \nWhile posting on social media\, O’Malley also built up his following and learned his craft the old-fashioned way\, too. During his university course in Liverpool\, he’d return to Manchester on weekends to play in the city’s Irish bars\, sometimes playing multiple sets in a day. Those venues proved the perfect performance classrooms as he battled rowdy crowds and learned how to get them on his side. “Sometimes you’ll get people who are quiet\, but then as the night goes on\, everyone gets a bit more pissed and scream and shout\,” he says. “We’ve learned how to deal with them – and have a night with them\, as well.” \nSince those days\, he’s been invited to play at Manchester’s Neighbourhood Festival\, support Weston Lonely and was scheduled to support Jeff Lynne’s ELO at their farewell show at BST Hyde Park\, until Lynne’s medical issues meant the gig had to be scrapped (more high profile bookings are set for 2026\, with appearances at State Fayre\, Kendall Calling\, Country Calling Festival and Highways’ Songwriters Round at Royal Albert Hall in the offing). By November 2025\, O’Malley had booked – and sold out – his first headline gig at Manchester’s famed Deaf Institute. These bookings would be impressive for any emerging artist\, but become even more so when you consider that they all came without O’Malley releasing a single song. \nFor a long time\, the rising artist’s tagline has been “singer with no songs out” – a slogan that gets more powerful when witnessed beneath ever-growing follower counts. Soon\, though\, that line will have to change – first\, following the release of his debut single\, ‘Let You Go’\, and later\, with the arrival of his first EP. “It’s the end of an era – although I might just change it to ‘singer with one song’. When the Grammy comes\, I’ll just say ‘singer with a Grammy’\,” he quips. \nAlthough only just officially released\, ‘Let You Go’ has already had a big impact on O’Malley’s journey. The first video he posted online of him playing the track was the first clip of original material to really take off\, racking up over 900\,000 views. Every day since\, users have asked him when he’s releasing it. \nAs a first single\, it captures the heart of O’Malley’s songwriting – inventive storytelling that’s woven into a sound that feels both familiar and fresh\, all delivered in his gravelly northern drawl. “I’d be crazy to ever let you go\,” he sings\, a line that’s spurred fans on to use the track in wedding videos. In reality\, the track takes on the perspective of a stalker\, detailing their thoughts as they watch from afar. \n‘Let You Go’ highlights the storytelling that sits at the core of O’Malley’s engaging lyricism\, something he grew into on a writing trip to Nashville. “When I was first writing songs\, I was all about melody\,” he explains. “Getting more involved in the country scene makes you think about words more\, and I spent a bit of time out in Nashville\, and they’re all so clever with lyrics and how the story flows from start to finish. It made me love the story side of it.” \n‘Two People Talking’\, a stomping earworm rich in detail\, picks up on another angle of that way of writing – rather than putting the musician in someone else’s shoes\, it twists his personal experiences into a tale shot through with wise takeaways. “Hearts get broke when hopes get higher\,” he warns at one point. “It’s saying\, ‘Don’t get your hopes up too high because it’s not happened yet’\,” O’Malley says. The mellower ‘See It From Here’\, meanwhile\, paints a picture of romantic sunsets and peaceful road trips. \nAs O’Malley properly kickstarts his path and becomes a singer with some songs out\, he’s keen to maintain the balance he’s already found: “I love the stripped back side of music where it can just be a fiddle\, guitar and some vocals\, but then I love the poppy side of things too\, so it’s about finding a good middle ground. I don’t know where it’s gonna go\, but it’s about putting out the songs that feel the most me and seeing what happens.” One thing that is certain\, though\, is that he’s driving forward with an unlimited sense of ambition. “The goal is to be the biggest artist\,” he says confidently. “I just want to play big shows.” With songs as strong as the ones in his arsenal\, reaching the big heights seems inevitable.

SUMMARY:Sundots
DESCRIPTION:With the humble beginning of a demo showcasing his first moments picking up a guitar and finding his voice in 2019\, longtime experimental music composer Drew Collins stepped into the next phase of his songwriting career as Sundots. \nJoined by familiar faces of the Connecticut DIY scene\, friends Jake Fucci\, Austin Traver\, and Nick Restivo have been a fundamental part of the band’s journey in translating their bedroom ‘studio’ songs to a live setting. \nThe music combines the feelings from freak-folk and ambient to slowcore and indie-rock in a way that comes across as both sincere and playful. Many of the songs showcase Drew’s heart on his sleeve\, with an almost stream-of-consciousness approach to lyric writing. ‘Honeyspot’\, the band’s most recent record from 2024\, displayed a newly refined direction while reflecting on themes of youth\, maturity\, love\, and fantasy. \nPaying homage to the previously mentioned demo tape\, appropriately named ‘room’\, Drew has a collection of five more solo recordings on the way due sometime this summer.

SUMMARY:swapmeet
DESCRIPTION:Swapmeet is a 4-piece band from South Australia composed of Venus O’Broin (guitar\, vocals)\, Joshua Doherty (bass)\, Maxwell Elphick (guitar\, drums\, vocals)\, and Jack Medlyn (guitar\, drums\, vocals). \nHaving recently caught the ear of American indie label Winspear\, the band is readying their debut album and offering a taste of the newmaterial with “I Know!”\, a cathartic and buoyant debut single for their new label home. \nRevved up with gleaming\, fuzzy guitars and energetic percussion\, the new track blurs jangle pop\, shoegaze\, and alt-rock with tongue-in-cheek precision. The group met as teenagers in the early 2020s while playing in various projects around the Adelaide music scene and bonded over their love of 90s alternative. \nThey soon started writing music together and released their debut single in late 2023 and quickly returned with their debut EP\, Oxalis\, in mid-2024. Now\, the band has started moving out of local pub gigs and into big venues\, opening for international touring artists across the whole of Australia\, and recently won the Emerging Artist & Best Performance Award at SXSW Sydney for their charismatic live show.

SUMMARY:Incendiary + Angel Dust
DESCRIPTION:Armed with crushing metallic riffs\, instantly both fresh and familiar\, Incendiary populate each of their four full-length albums with irresistibly energized rhythms and adrenalized urgency. \nThe quintet weaned on the Long Island\, New York\, hardcore scene have more to say than ever. Sharply biting and insightful lyrics sit atop blunt metalcore in a perfect soundtrack to throw a brick through a window. Incendiary delivers a sound of its own\, mixing classic passion and modern power. Frontman Brendan Garrone\, guitarists Brian Audley and Rob Nobile\, and drummer Dan Lomeli\, cite East Coast hardcore heroes like Vision Of Disorder\, 108\, Indecision and Glassjaw as part of Incendiary’s formative DNA. Less familiar listeners might liken them to a very heavy Rage Against The Machine.

SUMMARY:Boko Yout
DESCRIPTION:The Stockholm-based project\, fronted by Paul Adamah (One of Borderline Festival’s Hottest Acts of 2026) is returning to Dublin after a packed out mainroom set in The Workman’s Club. \nBoko Yout is the outsider infiltrating the mainstream. \nBoko Yout has built a reputation for performances that blur the line between concert\, catharsis and performance art. Drawing equally from post-punk chaos\, punk-funk propulsion\, alternative rock and spiritual symbolism\, Boko Yout operates in a space entirely of its own – intense\, theatrical and impossible to ignore. \nThe debut album GUSTO\, released in 2025\, introduced a band with pop instinct and art-school unpredictability. Structured around a fictional therapist known as Dr. Gusto\, the record explores identity\, ego\, anxiety and self-liberation through a series of surreal therapy sessions. Tracks such as “9-2-5”\, “GUSTO”\, and “DEMOLITION MAN” showcased the project’s ability to combine explosive energy with philosophical depth\, earning widespread critical acclaim across Europe. \nSince then\, Boko Yout has continued to build momentum internationally\, receiving support from BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Radio 1 while earning coverage from leading alternative outlets including DORK\, The Line of Best Fit and Louder Than War. The project has also received multiple Swedish Grammy nominations and won two Manifest Awards\, including Rock of the Year and Best Music Video for “9-2-5”. \nLive\, Boko Yout has become known for turning rooms into something closer to a ritual than a concert. Following appearances at festivals including The Great Escape\, Borderline Festival\, ESNS\, Reeperbahn\, Lowlands\, Paléo and Pitchfork Paris\, as well as support dates with Viagra Boys\, the band has developed a reputation as one of the most arresting live acts to emerge from Scandinavia in recent years. Equal parts chaos and precision\, Adamah leads audiences through a world of wiry grooves\, raw emotion and theatrical intensity. \nEntering 2026 following a sold-out UK headline tour\, Boko Yout continues to expand a universe that feels bigger than music alone – a project where punk urgency\, spiritual reflection and fearless self-expression collide.

SUMMARY:Sarah Julia
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Julia’s music is an exercise in tenderness\, bound by sisterhood and defined by a haunting\, piercing vulnerability. Their deeply introspective brand of indie folk is forged from a shared childhood: the product of overlapping memories and a communal formative soundtrack that presents itself in the pure vocals that cradle each other in harmony as they delicately address love\, heartache and family. \nFrom a young age\, they developed a shared love of music – trading album recommendations for the likes of Bon Iver and Ben Howard to expand on the Cat Stevens and Jim Croce their parents raised them on – before they individually began dabbling in making music themselves. \nBut it wasn’t until a significant change in their family occurred that they began intertwining those efforts\, seeking a shared catharsis in songwriting. \nWhat emerged was their debut EP How Do We Go Back To Being Normal? – an audible snapshot of a period of their lives enveloped in grief and change. Interwoven with confessional\, diaristic lyricism and elegiac harmonies\, their mystical take on folk quickly garnered them a cult following. \nHow Do We Go Back To Being Normal?’s follow-up Only Making It Worse\, released in 2025\, builds on these golden foundations. Somehow richer and more devastating than its predecessor\, their second EP sees them delve into a slightly poppier soundscape while affirming their entry into a canon of female singer-storytellers spinning gold from the ordinary fabric of everyday life\, recalling elements of Phoebe Bridgers\, Adrienne Lenker and Joni Mitchell.

SUMMARY:Kiss Facility
DESCRIPTION:Kiss Facility is the multidisciplinary duo of Mayah Alkhateri and Salvador Navarette\, who have been working across sound\, image\, and performance since their first encounter. Their practice is rooted in spiritual enquiry\, drawing on themes of psychic perception\, ritual protection\, intimacy and the afterlife as a force of future destiny. Through symbolism and real-life emotion\, Kiss Facility pushes artistic boundaries whilst examining identity as a site of self-transformation. \nSonically\, the project sits at the margins of modern shoegaze\, built on thick guitars\, submerged vocal poetry\, and compressed emotion. The duo adapts the genre’s familiar language and redirects it through Arabic lyricism\, private mythologies\, and inward worlds rarely foregrounded in alternative music. Their upcoming album\, KHAZNA (meaning safe\, vault\, or treasury) refers to what is kept hidden. Its themes unfold through layered vocals and unexpected sound\, holding vulnerable subjects such as love\, liberation\, and lived experience without spectacle or declaration. \nThe album invites listening as an act of uncovering\, reaching full-circle through the themes of exploration. Created by two people who live and work together in the comfort of their home\, KHAZNA feels shared rather than performed. Ready to be unraveled publicly\, the album arrives in March via ambient tweets\, alongside the announcement of Kiss Facility’s debut European tour and an album listening session.

SUMMARY:(4AD Records) – Modern Lovers (Curated by Foggy Notions)
DESCRIPTION:MODERN LOVERS (curated by Foggy Notions) presents\nWorkman’s Club\, Dublin\nNovember 16th\, 2026 \nAs part of the inaugural MODERN LOVERS\, a new music programme curated by\nFoggy Notions across multiple venues in Dublin City from Nov 8th to 16th\n@ (4AD Records) will play their biggest Irish show to date at The\nWorkman’s Club on Monday 16th November. \n@ – Autosmile\n16 October 2026 | 4AD 0910 \nSongwriters Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak have a pact\, a devotion to\neach other and to the\nmusic of @. In their solo existence\, Victoria works as a beekeeper and\nStone as a self-taught\ncomputer programmer\, but when they get together\, they become a singular\,\navant-garde song\nforce. The East Coast house-show circuit first brought them into each\nother’s orbit. Both Victoria\nand Stone are long time participants in the D.I.Y. music world\, with\ntheir own separate histories\nin basement noise shows\, warehouses and all ages spaces (Victoria has\nseveral records under\nthe name Brittle Brian\, and Stone has most recently gone by the\npseudonym E.R. Visit). Over\ntime\, the two began collaborating long distance\, and soon developed the\n@ formula – half Victoria\nsongs\, half Stone songs\, with each filling in the cracks of the other’s\ncompositions. On their new\nalbum Autosmile\, the band’s first with the legendary indie label 4AD\, @\nhave harnessed their\nunique process to reimagine the psychedelic folk tradition as an\nundeniably contemporary art\nform. @ are a coalition\, a team\, a two-headed cat\, and their\ncollaboration has led them\, once\nagain\, to fascinating and timeless results. \nThe mysterious channels of the internet brought the songs of @’s first\nalbum\, Mind Palace Music\,\ninto the lives of a much larger audience than Victoria and Stone had\never encountered. The\nalbum’s organic success story is miraculous considering the aggressively\nun-searchable nature\nof their deliberately obtuse moniker. Before their debut album\, @ had\nnever played live or even\nsung a harmony together in person. The collaborations were entirely\ndistanced. In the years that\nfollowed\, @ figured out how to have a band practice\, how to perform this\nmusic for audiences of\nall sizes\, how to sing together in shared air\, and how to make each\nother laugh on stage with\nabsurdist guitar-god solos. The process of becoming a formidable live\nband was highly influential\non the way they decided to approach arranging Autosmile\, opting for more\nreproducible\nexperiments and relying far less on digital production flourishes than\nin the past. \nDuring the making of Autosmile\, Stone relocated to Philadelphia and the\nduo had the benefit of\nfinally living in the same city. However\, the band still chose to work\non their songs individually; as\nthe adage goes: If it ain’t broke… Instead of booking out studio time\,\nthey hired close friends to\nguest on the album\, adding cello\, violin\, and live drums to their\nalready expansive arsenal of\ninstruments. Victoria recorded her parts\, as always\, on a cheap 80’s\nmicrophone inherited from\ntheir step-mom’s old polka competition days. In lieu of a mic stand\, she\nregularly props it up in a\ncoffee mug\, recording from her couch. Stone’s preferred setup is also\nremarkably low tech\, yet\nthe resulting sounds of their home-wizardry somehow remain lush\,\ncomplex\, and occasionally\nquite hi-fi. \nBoth Victoria and Stone are incisive\, classic songwriters\, and their\noccasionally-baroque\narrangements and production touches give the songs a rough-hewn yet\nvirtuosic quality. This\ninventiveness\, applied to songs that hold up against classic psych folk\nrecords\, sets @ apart\,\nsomehow looking backwards and forwards all at once. Album opener “Bird”\nbegins with an eerie\,\nchromatic trance of acoustic guitar & cinematic flutes that spins out\ninto an uplifting pop chorus\nbefore crashing back into its introspective verse. There is a consistent\ndarkness to the moods of\nAutosmile\, but @ is also an inherently playful enterprise\, unexpected\nprog flourishes lurking\nbehind incisive indie rock song craft. Victoria explains\, “Neither of us\nis afraid of being over the\ntop musically…. being unafraid of getting dramatic or comedic lends\nitself to really emotional\nmoments.” \nOn the epic\, near 7-minute title track “Autosmile”\, Victoria poeticizes\na mysterious breakup into\nquestions of demonology\, no stone left unturned as the duo quests\ntowards respective and mutual\nresolution. Whatever private matters are examined\, mystery is\nkey—Victoria and Stone don’t tell\neach other what their songs are about. @ believes “if we are writing a\nsong that can apply to many\naspects of our own lives\, then it makes it more relatable to the\nlistener’s life.” In keeping\, the lyrics\nthroughout the album bounce between adversity and possibility\, exploring\nthe inner and outer\nworlds with curiosity and prismatic awe. The nostalgic earworm “I Know\nYou Are (But What Am I\nThinking)” seems to laugh at the beauty of change and decay. This\nability to twist a negative\nimpulse into something beautiful also gleams on the standout “Punish My\nMind”\, an expertly\narranged song complete with dense harmonies and intricate chord\nprogressions over which @\nsing about the twin instincts to punish and comfort oneself\, eventually\nenvisioning a pristine state\nof pure acceptance. \nAcross Autosmile\, Victoria and Stone carefully balance beauty and pain\nwhile remaining one of\nthe most musically adventurous duos operating today. These eleven songs\nnimbly shift between\nblack hole heaviness and patient understanding\, never abandoning a sense\nof wonder. In the\nface of darkness\, miraculously\, perhaps impishly\, an Autosmile forms.

SUMMARY:Ocean Colour Scene
DESCRIPTION:Indie-rock legends Ocean Colour Scene have announced a major Irish and UK tour for 2026\, celebrating the 30th anniversary of their classic album Moseley Shoals. \n\n\nReleased in April 1996\, at the height of the Britpop era\, Moseley Shoals was Ocean Colour Scene’s second album and immediately became a huge success. \nReaching number 2 on the UK Albums Chart\, Moseley Shoals featured the massive hit singles ‘The Riverboat Song’\, ‘You’ve Got It Bad’\, ‘The Day We Caught The Train’ and ‘The Circle’ and was certified as triple-platinum after spending an incredible 92 weeks on the chart. \nIn August that year\, Oasis invited Ocean Colour Scene to be their special guests at one of their historic concerts held at Knebworth. Performing a blistering set in front 125\,000 people\, Ocean Colour Scene firmly cemented their status as one of Britain’s biggest bands. \nFor the Moseley Shoals 30th anniversary tour\, in addition to playing all the highlights from Moseley Shoals\, Ocean Colour Scene will play a career-spanning set to include all their other hits and fan favourites\, such as ‘Hundred Mile High City’\, ‘Travellers Tune’\, ‘Better Day and ‘Profit In Peace’\, amongst many others. \nOcean Colour Scene’s lead singer Simon Fowler said\, “It’s hard to believe that Moseley Shoals turns 30 in 2026. We owe so much to that album\, so it’s exciting to be able to look forward this very special anniversary and celebrate with our amazing fans at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues.” \nGuitarist Steve Cradock said\, “As a thirty-year celebration of Moseley Shoals\, we will be playing many of the songs from this great album. They will be part of a set and show that will be special\, and a peak for us as a group. Thanks for the support. See you all in 2026.” \nDrummer Oscar Harrison said\, “Our 2026 UK tour is something we are going to celebrate in a very big way. As with our sold-out tour this year\, these dates will be all the more special for having my boy Leon on percussion and Steve’s son\, Cass\, on keys and guitar\, enabling us to deliver the full Ocean Colour Scene sound for our fans. This one’s for them.”      \nOcean Colour Scene’s manager Alan McGee added\, “Ocean Colour Scene released Moseley Shoals at the epicentre of an incredible time for music: 1996. When I was asked to manage them four years ago we set out on a journey to celebrate their unique sound and deliver it back to the masses. This tour is their biggest in 30 years and puts them in their rightful place as one of the truly great bands their generation.” \nFormed in Birmingham in 1989\, Ocean Colour Scene began crafting songs in the spirit of the soul\, folk and blues greats who inspired them\, with words and melodies that would soon chime with the hearts and minds of the group’s fiercely loyal fanbase. \nAfter a few years honing their sound\, Ocean Colour Scene became a household name with the release of Moseley Shoals\, which was quickly followed by the Top 10 albums Marchin’ Already (1997)\, One From The Modern (1999) and Mechanical Drift (2001). \nEnjoying an incredible run of seventeen Top 40 singles – which included nine successive Top 20 singles – Ocean Colour Scene are not only one of the UK’s most successful groups\, they are also renowned as one of the country’s very best live bands.

SUMMARY:Julia Wolf
DESCRIPTION:Julia Wolf is a NYC-based artist whose rise has been defined by an unflinching commitment to lyrics-first storytelling\, carving out a space that reaches beyond  the confines of genre.  Emerging from a slow-burn independent ascent\, she broke through with “In My Room” – a deeply confessional track that continues to climb the Billboard Hot 100 and surge across multiple ‘Top Songs’ and ‘Viral’ charts on streaming services. What sets Wolf apart is her ability to translate intrusive thoughts and quiet insecurities into striking\, universally resonant hooks – writing that feels diaristic yet expansive\, confronting themes like comparison\, self-worth\, and longing with a rare bluntness that listeners see themselves in. \nEqually at home alongside pop\, rap\, and dance collaborators like Drake\, Yeat\, and John Summit\, or within the heavier\, genre-blurring world of her 2025 album PRESSURE\, Wolf’s music resonates across scenes precisely because it prioritizes emotional truth over convention\, turning raw vulnerability into a connective force that continues to draw listeners into her orbit.

SUMMARY:Aiken Promotions presents WesGhost
DESCRIPTION:WesGhost exists at the intersection of emotion and energy\, blending 2000s pop-punk\, alternative\, and hip-hop into a sound that feels both familiar and forward-moving. \nMasked by his signature balaclava\, he strips away image to focus on connection—turning vulnerability into something loud\, distorted\, and shared. \nHis projects DON’T WORRY\, I’LL BE FINE (2024) and AM I DREAMING? (2025) dive into anxiety\, self-doubt\, and release\, helping shape the WesGhost Collective—a fan community built around feeling seen rather than fitting in. With a co-sign from Blackbear\, a Diplo collaboration on “Psychward\,” and his latest single “GASLIGHT” pushing his sound even further\, WesGhost continues to break genre rules while keeping his world rooted in honesty\, intensity\, and togetherness—with a world tour set to be announced soon.
