TERRA TWIN

Initially starting out as a bedroom project in 2020 when vocalist, and accomplished actor, Maxim Baldry was living in New Zealand, Terra Twin came into fruition at the end of 2021. Now joined by Lewis Spear (electric guitar), Jonny Thwaites (bass) and Alex Wadstein (drums) the quartet have played a handful of shows around the capital, showcasing their cinematic art rock offerings, and will be releasing an EP in early 2024.

Recent singles have been praised by NME, Rolling Stone UK, DIY Magazine and Steve Lamacq on BBC6 Music. Terra Twin have played two sold out headline shows in London this year at Servant Jazz Quarters and The Sebright Arms, and will break into Europe with their first trip to Left of The Dial Festival in 2023.

big long sun

big long sun make things happen. Spearheaded by midlands-born, Brighton-based poet, painter, filmmaker, baker, musician Jamie Broughton (rhymes with ‘thought’-un) - who writes and records everything at his home ‘Boudoir’ studios - the band have released two acclaimed albums and in an EP in little over 12 months.

In that time, their frenzied, 8-strong line-up has formed,  hit up The Great Escape, toured the UK, performed a live session for BBC Radio 6Music (New Music Fix) and journeyed across seas for  debut European dates at Left of The Dial. In between all this, Jamie has already released an experimental electronic album and toured with The New Eves as a member of improvisational avant-rock pranksters Radio Anorak. If there’s a song to sing, they’ll sing it. If a gig gets cancelled last minute, through no fault of their own, they’ll lug a drumkit and a PA down Camden high street and find somewhere else instead. Because the show must go on.

With radio backing this year from Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Deb Grant, Emily Pilbeam, Glies Peterson, Amy Lamé (BBC Radio 6Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X), as well as press support from the likes of UNCUT, Electronic Sound, Rough Trade, Notion, Far Out, and So Young, big long sun are wasting no time in charging on ahead. Because big long sun make things happen.

world news

Heartbreak, night shifts, and the claustrophobia of London life in a windowless room–World News’ debut came out of their lowest point: lockdown during the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020. Restless, disillusioned, and yearning for more, the quartet set into overdrive in the years that followed, releasing three EPs and a dozen singles and committing to a fiercely independent DIY ethos.

Last year, the band shared two singles to critical acclaim: the jangly "Don’t Want to Know” in the spring, and the moody and nostalgic "Everything Is Coming up Roses” in the fall – both of which DJ John Richards premiered and played back to back on KEXP’s morning show. They also saw an unexpected surge in streams on “The Tinman,” which made it into the global top 10 viral charts and has now amassed millions of streams– with no viral TikTok moment or editorial support. 

Riding that momentum, the band hit the road across the UK in the fall, with sold-out performances in London, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Sheffield. This year, they’re heading out on their largest headlining tour yet across the UK and Europe.
