Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Brighton power-trio here to pulverise the Louie with propulsive melodrama: PROJECTOR hit the sweet spot between the post-punk grit of Interpol, Pixies et al and Spoon-esque melodiousness to make pure grunge-pop magic. No-contest new faves FFO: Sonic Youth, The Breeders, CLT DRP, Fraulein, DITZ. "

PROJECTOR • www.instagram.com/projectorprojector
Brighton’s PROJECTOR blend angular industrial drum machines with hook-laden alt-rock, lush melody with frenzied post-punk. Their fearless sonic range has taken them on European tours with Cleopatrick and into BBC Radio 6 playlists via Steve Lamacq and Amy Lamé.
Self-produced and fiercely independent, the band’s debut album NOW WHEN WE TALK IT’S VIOLENCE moves between dark Joy Division–style brutalism, hyperactive rant-pop, acid-soaked country, paranoid grunge and lush pop choruses — a bold, experimental sound built for both catharsis and chaos.
TOWNHOUSES • www.instagram.com/_townhouses
Welcome to the heavy mix of motoric beats and melodic guitars that is Townhouses. Combining elements of 60's psych rock with indie, post-punk, and shoegaze; the Bristol based 4 piece bring a contagious energy to every stage, always giving it their all. Their lyrics report on young hearts and minds... love, madness, masculinity, and much more.
NOBODY'S DAD • www.instagram.com/nobodysdadband
Wrapped in the Bristol music scene are Nobody’s Dad: an artistic blend of shoegaze, alternative rock, and indie. The band hits hard with gritty guitars and pounding drums, juxtaposed with delicate vocals and lyrical hooks. Through their honest songwriting, the group share real life experiences - weaving relationships, mental health, and coming of age in post 2020 Britain.
