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.

cherryholtCherryholt 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.
