    The Wombats

    The Wombats return with their most sophisticated and sonically adventurous album yet. Oh! The Ocean (out February 21st 2025) grooves with social anxiety, internal strife and the tribulations of LA life, where Murph lives. Once again they provide escapism from the mundane with songwriting that has profound meaning to audiences in turbulent times, packaged in the band’s deceptively cuddly and playful façade.

    Oh! The Ocean marks a new era for the band, moving away from previous synthetic sounds to embrace a warmer-blooded approach. Taking 50 new songs into a studio in Echo Park, LA, in July 2024 for six weeks of sessions with new producer John Congleton (St Vincent, Wallows, Death Cab for Cutie), The Wombats shunned the AI studio techniques that have become prevalent in modern-day recording, in order to make a far more natural and human album.

    Alongside familiar sounds they explore new genres from glistening tech rock to sci-fi pop, futuristic fuzz rock to bluesy rock’n’roll, with touches of disco and hip-hop-inflections.

    Red Rum Club

    Liverpool sextet Red Rum Club continue their upward curve, charging into 2025 with relentless momentum and a sound that’s become unmistakably their own — bold, brass-fueled, and bursting with ambition. With their signature “Mariachi Merseybeat” drawing fans from Merseyside to Mexico, the band are showing no signs of slowing down.

    Following a huge start to the year — including UK arena and European tour dates with The Wombats, and major festival slots at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Tramlines, Kendal Calling, and YNOT - the band also progressed to play their biggest ever local headline show at Aintree Racecourse, Liverpool where 11,000 fans celebrated the band’s meteoric rise.

    The band had their second top ten album recently with BUCK #8 (Modern Sky UK) and received recognition from the ‘Official Charts’ with a special award. Described as “a rebellious, high-energy evolution that shatters expectations and redefines their sound,” BUCK captures Red Rum Club stepping into their boldest era yet. Additionally, the band have now also signed a licensing deal with New York based label AVENUE A which is currently promoting the album throughout North, Central and South America.

    Live shows remain the heartbeat of Red Rum Club. To mark the release of BUCK, the band embarked on a major UK headline sold out tour (September 24th to October 9th) and played to thousands of fans across the country. They have now headed stateside once again for their biggest North American tour to date, joining The Wombats from October 14th to November 15th, building on their fast-growing US fanbase.

    Red Rum Club remain one of the UK’s most exciting and authentic live acts — a band with stories to tell, hooks to spare, and a brass section that could blow the roof off any venue.

    Cherryholt are a 5-peice band from Lincolnshire. Cherryholt’s songs have a nostalgic early noughties indie-pop feel, coupled with explosive guitar solos and breakdowns comparable to experimental-rock. We also take influence from climactic rock-ballads, heavily driven by technically impressive vocals, amalgamating all these styles to create a unique, yet relatable catalogue of repertoire.

    Fully formed September 2024 by a set of twins and school friends, Cherryholt quickly burst onto the scene with the release of our debut single "criminals", followed by their second single “Bailey”.

    Cherryholt’s eagerly anticipated third single “irresistible”, recorded at sick room studios, becomes yours on 16/08/25, taking heavy influence from the early naughties scene.

    Being young lads in rural Lincolnshire, Cherryholt write their songs about experiences on small-town nights, young love and the modern age, resulting in timeless, emotional and relatable tunes.
