Puma Theory + Dahlia's Comet + Fast Trains
Advertisement
Characterised by distorted guitars and confessional lyricism, Puma Theory are an alternative rock band whose songs explore notions of anxiety, identity and anguish.
The band’s first three singles (Hit & Run, Sobering Lights and Foolish Boy) are the products of a long term collaboration with producer Ian Davenport (Gaz Coombes, Demob Happy, Band of Skulls) which came to be after Ian saw the band perform by chance in their hometown of Reading. The songs were recorded in the Oxfordshire countryside at Courtyard Studios – the remote location ruling out any chance of distraction and enabling a deep level of introspection.
The band’s latest offering – Live at Farm Road Studios – provides an insight into Puma Theory’s honest and visceral live performances. Engineered and mixed by Spencer Withey of Ladylike, the track is a precursor to a more expansive body of work the band are set to release in 2026.
Supporting them are
Dahlia's Comet
A three piece band based in Hampshire/ Surrey. Their music consists of the sound of 80s prog rock and the underlying influences of shoegaze, alongside the combined forces of a male and female vocal to express their cosmic image.
Fast Trains
Fast Trains are an alternative band from Portsmouth, England led by songwriter/producer, Tom Wells. A modern take on heroes like XTC, Radiohead and Elbow, their thoughtful yet accessible music has led to international songwriting awards, rousing festival performances, national support tours, and a wealth of radio play from BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing.
Since releasing debut album Escape to ourWorld in January 2025, Fast Trains have grown into an electrifying live act, combining their rich, anthemic sound with intense dynamics and crafting moments that live long in the memory. Undiscovered? Perhaps. Unmissable? Definitely.
It’s time to escape.
