Music from:

Truthpaste

Truthpaste are a band of five multi-instrumentalists and a trusty computer drum, blending pop, acoustic folk, and electronic music. Last year they released their popular debut single ‘See You Around’ followed by ‘Bleary Eyes’ with Memorials of Distinction. Truthpaste is Esmé Lark (Lead Vocals, Saxophone), Theo Murchie (Guitar, Vocals), Claire Sun (Violin, Vocals), Euan McNeill (Bass, Guitar, Vocals), and James Ballarò (Synth, Lapsteel, Guitar). Truthpaste arrived with a maturity, slickness and resplendence rarely achieved by bands so early in their career. Tapping into the whimsy of trad-folk, yet carried along by a weighty, almost philosophical sense of reflection…blah blah blah, I love Truthpaste. I love this song. The melody, the chorus, the arrangement, it’s all so…just..beautiful. Simply beautiful. - So Young, Tracks of the Year 2025 Blending the sonic worlds of Richard Dawson, Songs: Ohia and The Books, Truthpaste carve out an image of sentimentality and sincerity all while brimming with promise and potential. - DIY

Hank Bee

Hank Bee is the solo project of Liverpool-based, Northumbrian musician Hannah Brown. Drawing from the folk and country traditions of the North-East while embracing the intensity of alternative rock, her music offers lyrical candour wrapped in vivid guitar-led arrangements. Performing alongside her band, their live shows have become a local staple, blending reflective songwriting with epic, emotive performances.

Of Iryn

Of Iyrn are a London-based band rooted in the Black Country, an industrial heartland named after the minerals once mined beneath it: coal and [iyrn]. Formed in 2025, they create emotionally honest songs through live improvisation, blending indie, folk, and Tropicália influences with a warm, melancholic atmosphere. Their sound is influenced by “home”: a concept that transcends borders for the band as they bridge Brazilian music with English and move fluidly between languages.
