GOOD FLYING BIRDS 

Good Flying Birds is a jangly, noisy guitar-pop group from the Midwest, USA. The project began in December 2023 with a string of 4-track cassette recordings and stop-motion videos uploaded to YouTube under the name “Talulah God,” accompanied by a chaotic, GIF-filled website. Over the next few months, songs were uploaded regularly, eventually catching the attention of influential punk and DIY label head Martin Meyer.

In January 2025, Talulah’s Tape was released on Rotten Apple, compiling home recordings from 2020–2024. It showcased a wide-ranging love for independent guitar music, clever songwriting, and a charmingly scrappy, twee-punk aesthetic. The release found immediate underground acclaim, earning radio play and selling 300 cassettes in under a month.

Riding the momentum and building a reputation as a dynamic live act, the group attracted significant label interest, ultimately signing with Carpark and Smoking Room. Together, the labels re-released Talulah’s Tape on vinyl and streaming in October 2025. It has since seen glowing reviews from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Paste, Bandcamp, and landed in numerous "Best of 2025" lists.

Their sound nods to lo-fi icons like Guided By Voices, Beat Happening, DLIMC, Talulah Gosh, and The Vaselines, but carries a singular, earnest charm. It’s the sound of wide-eyed optimism in a cracked world—rosy cheeks, a tambourine in hand, and guitars ringing in all directions.

THE CINDYS
Bristolian Power Pop outfit The Cindys united through a shared love of Alex Chilton, The Clean and Beat Happening. Birth child of Jack Ogborne (aka Bingo Fury) and with help from Naima Bock, Finlay Burrows and members of Belishas, the group fronts surrealist imagery and infectious hooks at a pace that’ll give you butterflies. Their debut album was recorded across the west country, between the vault of the Cornish Bank in Falmouth, Rockfield studios in Wales and the cellar of legendary venue The Louisiana in Bristol throughout 2024. The album includes production and engineering contributions from Joe Jones (Aldous Harding, The Cure, Teenage Fanclub) and Sam Stackpool of Holiday Ghosts, who also features on 12 String. The album was released via Breakfast Records (UK) and Ruination Record Co (US) on November 7th 2025, leading to tours with the likes of Shame and
Getdown Services.

VEHICLE
Founded in Leeds as the brainchild of Michael Cable (formerly of Perspex), newcomers Vehicle are doling out bejangled garage-rock flavours. Clashing a flair for acerbic irony and kitchen-sink storytelling alongside a passion for 1960s Pebbles/Nuggets compilations and British Invasion pop, if Marcel Duchamp once said “expect all good to come from an urge to wander out ready to meet anything,” then you’ll find Vehicle are playing all night long, somewhere in-between the Urge and the Wandering.

BRAMWELL

‘Bramwell are a group, formed in Torquay, strengthened in Exeter, and now based in Cardiff,
that blend their love of mod + psychedelic British Invasion, jangle, chime and a strong beat.
Their passion for pop shines through and cuts into your soul. It’s diamond rock n roll musik for
anorak pop mods odds and sods and takes no prisoners!’
