“A friend took me to see Ben de la Cour at a little hole in the wall in Nashville. It didn’t take long to realize I was in the presence of greatness. He has much to say, and knows how to say it as only a true poet can. You owe it to yourself to check him out. He is important. You need this bright young talent now more than ever. We all need Ben de la Cour.” Lucinda Williams

At the frayed bottom-edge of Indiana – just a moderate bike ride north of Louisville, Kentucky – multi-instrumentalist, artist and songwriter Ryan Davis’ Americana-noir soundwaves have been emanating for years in a myriad of forms. As driving force for the lauded State Champion, long-running member of Tropical Trash, administrator of the esoteric and excellent Cropped Out festival, and lone proprietor of the Sophomore Lounge label, Davis lays down his first proper ‘solo’ release with Dancing On The Edge – a rich, 2-LP tapestry of tunes that absolutely glows over seven expansive cuts. It’s a pure collage of modernity and heritage.

American singer-songwriter Sarabeth Tucek returned in 2023 after a decade-long intermission with the new moniker SBT and her long-awaited third album Joan Of All, which was issued world-wide on her own imprint Ocean Omen. After the first single “The Gift” received heavy play on BBC Radio 6 Music courtesy of Marc Riley, Gideon Coe and Cerys Matthews, anticipation for the new double-album kicked into high gear, and it did not disappoint, hailed by critics and fans alike as her masterwork. She followed up by mounting three full-band tours of the UK which saw her perform the epic Joan Of All in its entirety. SBT now returns to the UK in April/May 2025 for a very special, intimate set of acoustic shows with her longtime producer Luther Russell which will cut a swath through her whole catalog, including her classic self-titled debut, the much beloved sophomore album Get Well Soon and of course the genre-defying Joan Of All.

“Tragi-comic.Custard and Debbie and Lavene’s stock-in-trade, mixing Baxter-Dury like roughshod poetry with Robyn Hitchcock’s surrealist flair. Flute-looped Little Bird reveals a more delicate balladeer.” MOJO

“Disneyland In Dagenham is endearing as a whole, glorious in parts, hilarious in others, and in its darkest corners, heartbreaking. Lavene’s singular voice and relatable concerns infuse the album with an honesty and kindness that’s rare, and leave the listener glowing with both admiration and empathy.” Under The Radar

“It’s world-class. All killer, no filler. An instant classic. Every song is a 10 out of 10.” Dangerous Minds

CINDY begin their UK/EU tour tonight with a [sold out] show at Walthamstow Trades Hall, London for World of Echo

The band, with it’s new line up featuring members of Now, Children Maybe Later and Famous Mammals tour in support of recent EP release, “Swan Lake”

“People have told me that they can’t quite identify my influences. Me neither. The foundational layers of music of the past and my past have been metabolized like breakfast and turned into more me, sorry to say. But I experience the music of people I’m connected with and it impacts me in the moment. There’s the music I’m around – April Magazine, Sad Eyed Beatniks, Violent Change, Katsy Pline, collaborating with Mike on Flowertown – that I can feel a direct line from. Then there’s music that is being made far away but feels close, like Lewsberg, specifically, for this EP“ — Karina Gill
