Frankie & The Witch Fingers
Frankie and the Witch Fingers are a rock band from Los Angeles known for their high-energy and frenetic performances. Their latest album, Data Doom, delves into themes of technological dystopia, systemic rot, creeping fascism, and the erosion of humanity. The band's sound has evolved into a darker strain, incorporating influences from proto-punk, German progressives, and funk fusionists. They have shared the stage with notable acts such as Kikagaku Moyo, Ty Segall, Oh Sees, Cheap Trick, and ZZ Top. Data Doom aims to solidify their status with its intense and socially charged rock sound.

Friko
Friko, a trio that’s cemented itself as a stalwart in the Chicago music scene, is frontman Niko Kapetan, bassist Luke Stamos, and drummer Bailey Minzenberger. Praised by the Chicago Tribune as “perfect slices of indie-pop,” their music is complex and dynamic, flickering between explosive rock, chamber pop, and serene sonics. It becomes even more pronounced in their live performances, where a crowd frenzied by wailing guitars finds itself minutes later collectively holding its breath, enamored by hypnotic strings and Kapetan’s emotive vocals.

Westside CowboyWestside Cowboy sound new but seem to come from an old place. Surrounded by 1978 Fender Twin Reverbs, well-thumbed Wem catalogues, a four-track recorder and spools of cassette tape the Manchester four-piece are made up of Aoife Anson O’Connell, James (Jimmy) Bradbury, Paddy Murphy and Reuben Haycocks. With a sound raw as a carpet burn, they ride a thrilling lo-fi boxcar tuned to the melodic precision of Teenage Fanclub and held together with the slacker cool of Pavement. For most bands this would be enough, but not for Westside Cowboy. Just when you think you have them pinned, they career the entire thing into a brick wall of country, trad and early harmony coated, major-key rock’n’roll. They call this process ‘Britainicana’. A portmanteau of the band’s own making to describe Amer- ican culture digested by English people in small towns with almost nothing in the way of cosmopolitan sheen. “Think kids in double denim and Converse eating Greggs vegan sausage rolls.” It’s alarming and exh

Marta Del GrandiMarta Del Grandi is an award-winning jazz vocalist navigating new territory that crosses borders from West Coast ‘60s to ambient exotica, from plaintive Lynchian etherealism to dramatic Morricone scores. The versatile Italian-born singer-songwriter released her second album ‘Selva’ in October on Fire Records, abd it's her most intricate and shimmering effort yet. A refined devotional suite of astute pop that flows effortlessly, uniting emotional complexity, and featuring divine organic arrangements with a sci-fi finish. -
Madra SalachMadra Salach are a six piece contemporary folk band from Dublin. Originally playing in various local outfits, their shared love of the Irish traditional canon led them to form a bond playing impromptu sessions in pubs. Taking inspiration from the growing Irish experimental folk scene, Madra Salach focuses on original writing and composition, utilising electronic equipment. These songs, while modern thematically, are written with a voice that could have emerged at any point throughout the last century.

La SécuritéLa Sécurité (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) is a collective whose art punk is equal parts: jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements, and minimalistic melodic hooks. After years of writing earworms for the pleasure of beautiful weirdos, all the while strutting their style on tour with their many different projects (Choses Sauvages, Laurence-Anne, Silver Dapple, etc.), the motley bunch now meanders the fringes of punk, new wave and krautrock. Since coming together, the five-piece has been invited to perform at SXSW, FME, Phoque OFF, Taverne Tour and DISTORSION Psych Fest, also sharing the stage with the likes of Automatic, Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp and Annie-Claude Deschênes (Duchess Says). The band now offers Stay Safe! (June 16th, 2023 via Mothland), a first full-length that is manic, yet surprisingly laid-back, and should no doubt strike a chord with fans of Le Tigre, Automatic, Wet Leg, Devo, E.S.G. or The B-52’s.

The Love BuzzThe Love Buzz, known for their high energy sets and hypnotic melodies, describe themselves as “a steamy, tongue-in-cheek beacon of hope for the vagrants of Cork City”. With their first EP the Irish band explored different styles and challenged the genre-locked norms of today's scene, breeding a caustic hyper-saturated concoction of punk pop and indie. While the band has become a pretty tight unit, the lads have definitely kept raw, wild and punky. “Here comes the scum!”

Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys
Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys, a Berlin-based art-pop and tender noise ensemble, have captivated audiences across Europe with their atmospheric and intense performances. Led by South African-born artist Lucy Kruger (guitar & vocals), the band features Liú Mottes (guitar), Jean-Louise Parker (viola & vocals), Gidon Carmel (drums). Their music is both intimate and angular—droning and dream-like in moments, driving, direct, and on the edge of desperation in others. Caringly confrontational.

Chest.chest. is a post-punk/noise rock band from Paris formed by five friends who propose their vision of the music scene they love the most, and influenced by all the artists they meet at the Supersonic Club in Bastille. United by their love of loud effects, noises and decibels, without sacrificing catchy melodies and choruses, their live performances are big cathartic parties where everyone is invited to dance, mosh and sing. First EP All Good Things End came out in February 2025.

Silver GoreSelling out shows before they’d even released any songs, London alt-rockers Silver Gore are only a couple of years into their life as a band but already making serious waves in the live music scene. The duo — drummer Ava Gore and Yorkshire musician Ethan P Flynn — have shared stages with Geordie Greep and Martha Skye Murphy, and while their online presence remains enigmatic, you’ll have to catch them playing live to see what all the fuss is about.

Nathalie FroehlichRapper Nathalie Froehlich is a bulldozer on stage, who will make you want to turn your government upside down. Possessed by a fierce, white-hot fire, she serves up a rave rap set which has won over the whole of Switzerland. After more than 85 concerts in two years, including the biggest Swiss festivals, the show feels like an unforgettable afterparty with a smoldering mix of techno, reggaeton, crazy rhythms and hip hop.
