I'll be off to see The Empty Page in Hebden Bridge - they're amazing live, and the Trades Club is such a good venue. 😍

FB HATES tour posters!

Any mentions of gigs, tickets etc are buried and shown to hardly any of our brilliant (now 7k) followers.

It wants us all online scrolling forever til they prise the still glowing smartphones from our rigor mortised fingers.

But we've put too much of ourselves (and our finances) into booking a ridiculously ambitious UK tour as an independent band. We really want to pack these shows out with real life people singing along to our real life loud music in real life.

Let us know which show you're going to in the comments. Let's see if we can override the trickiest algo of them all!

Had a great time at Infest Festival - so many great bands, many new to me. You'll find out more in Blitzed Magazine.

Big thank you to the Infest crew, especially Chris and Fiona.

And they're getting ready to do it all again in 2027!

A transcendent set from IAMX where everything is just right. The band, the stagecraft, the sound... one of those moments with a live performance becomes art. A great way to finish Infest Festival 2026.

2026 has been a busy, if slightly under the radar, year for West Echo Three so far. They've played a handful of gigs, but their main focus is getting a run of three planned EPs recorded and released.

The first instalment, titled ‘West (EP1),’ comprises two previously unrecorded numbers and one previously released crowd favourite!

West Echo Three – Manchester-based duo Charlotte Winchcombe and John Mitchell – hit on a very topical subject matter in the electro/punk of ‘Glass Marble', which they describe as “a scream of rage about environmental collapse.”

It's followed by 'The World of Empty', which hits an almost breakcore beat as it tells “a story of story of despair and sacrifice.”

The final track on the EP is the acerbic look at exploitation that is ‘Hey, Do I Know You?' – a reworking of their long-time set opener that previously featured on Product #1 back in 2021. ‘West (EP1)’ is out now.

Vienna-based Elastic Skies merge the electronic and organic on 'Constant Departs,' a song that exists where land and sea meet.

The second single from their upcoming concept EP 'III,' which the band says explores Marc Augé’s theory of non-places, 'Constant Departs' is their audio imagining of the metronomic automation of a container port. Silence does a lot of work here; the synths and percussion are sparse enough to evoke the eeriness of environments where humanity is at a minimum but still a required presence.

The lead guitar can be viewed as the otherwise-unheard waves of the living sea lapping against a quayside populated by machinery and monotony; the vocals of Nora Blöchl have a fractured humanity that renders their presence distant and disembodied, all the while remaining a vital element.

It may make the pieces sound heavily conceptual, but the duo ensure that the song keeps a strong but loose orbit around a dark wave / post-punk melody to be relatable and far from abstract, evoking comparisons with Boy Harsher, La Femme, and Deux.

'Constant Departs' is out now via Viennese indie label Feber Wolle
