Her Head's On Fire: A fierce quartet with an impressive pedigree serving up heart-seeking post-hardcore and emotive rock with enlivening riffs and melodies. The indie rock supergroup offers their strangeness to beauty with Strange Desires, their sophomore effort and follow-up to their debut, College Rock & Clove Cigarettes. Strange Desires deepens and expands on their first release. It has moments reminiscent of late '80s New Wave, early '90s indie, and post-hardcore peppered with poetic oddities that make the band's music memorable.

From the gauntlet-throw of an opener "Cuts" through the swaggering sneer of "Aren't I the Champion" to closer "The Rain," this record is full of intentional sidewinders— smart, literate songs about the most primal feelings and experiences we share as humans.

FFO: Samiam, Superchunk, and The Get Up Kids

Back Teeth: Back Teeth play gruff, melodic punk songs about burnout, bad decisions, and trying to stay hopeful in a world in free fall.

FFO: Samiam / Hot Water Music / Iron Chic

Our Lives In Cinema: London melodic punk 5-piece, blending skate, pop-punk and emo, with self-aware humour, and the ire and joyful passion of turn of the millennium post-hardcore. If you enjoy the sophisticated pop-punk stylings of The Wonder Years, Iron Chic, Jeff Rosenstock and Spanish Love Songs but with a big crunchy sound akin to Four Year Strong, State Champs and Set Your Goals; you'll find something to enjoy. In 2025 they'll be playing shows and festivals all over the UK.

FFO: Alkaline Trio/ Iron Chic / Rise Against
