The Louisiana

Delay-drenched psychedelic hardcore assault bursting outta Montreal straight into your earholes. Faze’s acid-damaged, bass-heavy punk feels like GEL covering Spacemen 3 in a wind tunnel – since that’ll probably never happen, catch us front left at the Louie. Scathing stuff FFO: Bib, S.H.I.T., Gag, Destruction Unit, Impalers. FAZE / UNCERTAINTY / GORAM / CIRCUMVEMT at The Louisiana.

Shoun Shoun are launching their 2nd album Drip. Very special guests are Two Tonne Machete & The Brackish.

Now here’s some post-punk we can really believe in: the anthemic sheengaze of The Sound meets Andrew Eldritch-esque vocal melodrama on top of Boy Harsher’s synthwave bounce. Theo Vandenhoff tick all the right boxes in a tantalising testament to Cellar Door’s talent barometer, alongside Neko’s bit-crushed post-kraut groove. Big FFO: John Maus, Drab Majesty, She Past Away, Blonde Redead. Theo Vandenhoff + Neko + Losing Dogs

Cellar Door take on IWD with their patented music and visual artistry megastack! Ziplock lead the charge with thunderous Windmill scene-launched electropunk, alongside head-melting noisegaze from Speedial, Horsefair’s potent post-rock convulsions, and Limited Ltd’s muscular punk stylings + a basement-stuffed exhibition of local artists. International Women's Day Special < 3

Wistful local jangle, sprung up from members of Bingo Fury, Belishas and Goat Girl: The Cindys are a murky, melodic breath of fresh air, well-steeped in the Dunedin sound. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: bring back earnest guitar bands!!! Ones to watch FFO: Teenage Fanclub, The Beths, Beat Happening, The Pastels, The Magnetic Fields. The first hometown headline from the Bristol indie heroes
