***City Sound*** and ***Hot Box*** team up again for another **New Music Wednesday**, with the whole show not only live on stage but broadcast simultaneously on City Sound - citysound.radio**The Mighty Bosscats** are a dynamic blues and Americana band led by songwriter and guitarist Richard Townend. Renowned for their storytelling and musicianship, the band has released 17 highly acclaimed albums since 2007, each showcasing a distinctive blend of soulful grooves, heartfelt lyrics, and finely crafted arrangements. Their catalogue reflects both breadth and depth, moving seamlessly from smoky ballads to driving blues rock, earning praise from audiences and critics alike.
Based in Essex, the line‑up features Richard Townend on guitar and vocals, Matt Gillam on bass and vocals, and Mark Hall on drums. Together they create a rich, textured sound that resonates with authenticity and passion. Townend’s songwriting often explores themes of compassion, resilience, and social awareness, giving the music a powerful emotional core.
**Armoured Man** are a multi-instrumental folk duo from Essex. Lyrically-driven, intricate, muscular, and rooted in the natural world, their sound combines folk story telling with the nervy energy of post-hardcore.
*Hind Legs*, their second full-length album - mastered by Frank Turner - was released in December 2025. It explores climate breakdown, geological time, faith, fatherhood and a deeply uncertain future.
