Mums
The narrative of Mums began in the crowded hallways of high school, where Jack and Roanne Evans found mutual resonance in the tumultuous sounds of alternative rock and its heavier, wilder cousins. This was not just any serendipitous meeting, for it was the birthplace of an aural venture first christened ‘Aeroplane Flies High‘. However, like many bands, identities morphed, sounds matured, and from the cocoon emerged Mums—stronger, sharper, and infinitely more cacophonous.
With their sound pushed its own boundaries, Mums drive deeper into the realm of identifiable riffs and catchy vocal lines, while ensuring the feedback always threatened to shatter the speakers.
Their 2016 album “Land Of Giants” was nothing short of audacity encapsulated in vinyl. It teetered on the edge of auditory anarchy, yet never quite lost its balance.
Touring the shores of the UK and beyond, Mums continued their quest for sonic perfection, establishing an insatiable audience that thrived on decibel-driven debauchery.
With their newest offering, “Legs“, Mums doesn’t just make a statement of return; they craft a sonic tapestry that spans their entire journey. From songs echoing their nascent days to fresher compositions borne out of Jonny’s inclusion, the album is a reflection of growth. And to add a touch of the serendipitous, during its recording, the Mums family was poised to welcome a new member, with a baby Mum marking their presence in utero.
Intending to parallel the fervour of “Land Of Giants“, yet infuse more refined songwriting and an immersive auditory experience, Mums ensured every note, every riff, every beat resonated just as they envisioned.
With an imminent release through Hex Records in the U.S. and Society Of Losers Records across Europe, “Legs” stands ready to storm the alternative scene. It’s a testament to the indomitable spirit of rock.

Callis
‘Alternative, heavy-hitters and DIY to the core, Callis’ true northern work ethic, filled with grit and fueled with a passion for independent art has seen them self-organise shows in the capital, curate their own artwork, handmake merchandise and even catch the attention of Strokes producer, Gordon Raphael. Attending a Callis live performance is similar to accidentally joining a cult. After the first couple of songs, the audience will find themselves in the middle of something, wondering how they got there.’
