Headfirst Editor's Pick
"A four-way showcase of shoegaze and pop-punk in states of glorious ruin! Thistle deliver lean, hooky songwriting wrapped in pedalboard scuzz; The Young Hearts offer emotionally charged, chorus-heavy bangers; Pushbike fuse the two genres in a scabrous spin on pop-punk; and Parkii’s “shoemo” embraces life on its shittiest terms with cathartic sincerity."

The Young Hearts
Their songs are the soundtrack as they navigate their way through the ups and downs of adulthood, desperately trying to re-capture the romanticism and hopefulness of their younger years, all the while keeping their feet firmly on the ground. No expectation of fame and fortune, because who needs that when you have friends to drink with and records to turn up really loud.
Pushbike
Parkii
Parkii has been creeping through Bristol and the South West over the past year. Consistently gigging and making a name for himself within the emo/shoegaze or “shoemo”scene. Off the back of his ep release “not everyone can be cool” and bringing Leo (bass) and Jude (drums) into his world, his music has become heavier, gloomier as he finds himself more and more hopeless, broken, lonely. His first record "Somehow I manage", coming soon....
