  Kneecap

  Condemned by politicians, beloved by fans, kicked out of their own gigs, and packing festival tents to overflow, Kneecap are a cultural phenomenon.

  Crashing into the consciousness with the release of, C.E.A.R.T.A., a track and video inspired by a police chase while protesting for Irish language rights, they’ve proceeded to run rampage across small rooms and massive festivals in Ireland, the UK, and the US, leaving a bemused media and captivated followers in their wake.

  Heralded by the New York Times, the LA Times, Dazed, Vice, i-D, the Guardian, and others, Kneecap’s irreverent, complex, and potent lyrics speak to a time of political upheaval, youthful rebellion and discontent, and a renewed urge to party.

  Kneecap is a movement, one about upending preconceptions about language and place, and reimagining what rap can be as a creative and cultural force.

  Kettama

  For the past few years, KETTAMA is a name that has continued to burn hot on the tips of tongues.

  Real name Evan Campbell, the Galway born, London based artist has spent the best part of the last decade bringing the sounds of his native ‘G-Town’ to the world, embarking on a seemingly ever-evolving, never-ending sonic pilgrimage in the process.

  From his humble roots in the Irish electronic underground scene, to spreading his wings in the UK and across Europe, KETTAMA now undertakes an unrelenting worldwide touring schedule, most recently with a standout tour across North America, Canada and South America.

  With performances at Coachella, Glastonbury, Kappa Futur, Creamfields, Arc Festival, Portola, to name a few, this year is shaping up to be his biggest yet. Currently halfway through an Ibiza residency at the iconic Amnesia nightclub, KETTAMA also hosted a solo Boiler Room show in London which drew over 15000 sign ups, and has just announced his biggest London show to date, at the legendary 02 Academy in Brixton on 4th October.

  Two years on from landing his Fallen Angel EP, KETTAMA now presents what could be his magnum opus, with his Archangel debut album set to land on Steel City Dance Discs on Friday October 3. Having already released a number of standout singles from the forthcoming record; ‘Yosemite’ with Interplanetary Criminal, ‘It Gets Better’ (Forever Mix), ‘Air Maxes’ with Fred Again.. And Shady Nasty and most recently ‘If U Want My Heart’ ft. KLP with DJ Heartstring, Archangel is primed to be a serious milestone moment in KETTAMA’s unrelenting career.

  Westside Cowboy

  Westside Cowboy sound new but seem to come from an old place. Surrounded by 1978 Fender Twin Reverbs, well-thumbed Wem catalogues, a four-track recorder and spools of cassette tape the Manchester four-piece are made up of Aoife Anson O’Connell, James (Jimmy) Bradbury, Paddy Murphy and Reuben Haycocks. With a sound raw as a carpet burn, they ride a thrilling lo-fi boxcar tuned to the melodic precision of Teenage Fanclub and held together with the slacker cool of Pavement. For most bands this would be enough, but not for Westside Cowboy. Just when you think you have them pinned, they career the entire thing into a brick wall of country, trad and early harmony coated, major-key rock’n’roll. They call this process ‘Britainicana’. A portmanteau of the band’s own making to describe Amer- ican culture digested by English people in small towns with almost nothing in the way of cosmopolitan sheen. “Think kids in double denim and Converse eating Greggs vegan sausage rolls.” It’s alarming and exh

  TNT, Glixen, Friko, and more. The Star Tribune recommends bringing “earplugs and maybe a tissue for their set.” They initially received recognition through their first two released singles, "river" and "smile again", both recorded and mixed at home. A raw emotional intensity shines through their honest and explorative songwriting process. After the release of their debut EP Wisteria, they were named one of First Avenue’s Best New Bands of 2023. In April of 2024, they got the most votes from industry professionals for MPR station The Current’s first annual Scouting Report Poll of the top rising artists in Minnesota.
