I am not from here but looking to include more local bands into my playlist, and assuming no one here knows what Melnitsa is here's specific aspects I am looking for:

- instrumental music, good vocals, rhythms inspired by traditional music like jigs but with a moderndynamic touch, I'm talking tin whistle + violin + bass guitar + electric guitar

- narrative songs, essentially folk tales, and different in their vibe - some cheerful, some melancholic and phylosophical

Bands I explored: Øxn - vibe is there but really slow and mostly quite depressing; Me lost Me - really good, but again too much leaning into mysterious and sad vibes; Trouble Notes - awesome and thoughtful and fun but most of their music doesn't have words; Nightwish - love the storytelling, that plus more folkish music would be ideal; Faun - absolutely perfect but in German

About a month to go til this hits Leeds! 🤘

Character Actors, Yorkshire’s answer to The Menzingers/The Gaslight Anthem/Joyce Manor/Jeff Rosenstock, supported by three more ace bands at The Lending Room.

Blood Red Shoes is on tour now !

Multimedia artist Echo_the_hare created this absolute masterpiece of a music video for North Wales band Baby Brave.

Made over four months, with the band green-screened into over 40 iconic films. Absolutely no AI was used.

The record was produced, mixed and mastered by Charlie Francis (R.E.M, Robyn Hitchcock, Future Of The Left)

Their debut album 'Sugar To The Tongue' was self released on 9th October on digital and vinyl.

Hey everyone!

We are Empty Palace, a London-based alternative rock band.

Our music blends atmospheric soundscapes, driving guitars and moments of intensity.

We're playing a gig at 93 Feet East, Brick Lane, this Friday, 16 October, as part of a night presented by HOT VOX, alongside other live acts.

We love music that creates a mood as much as it makes an impact, and we're always keen to connect with people discovering new bands on the London scene.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, check out our music — we'd genuinely love to hear what you think.

Hope to see some of you at the gig!

I really like Chloe Slaters music, but am I too old to go to one of her gigs? I’m 48 female

The 80's simply had terrific music. This song is definitely in the mix. Just wanted to honor Richard & Tim Butler, John Ashton and The Psychedelic Furs. Enjoy.
