Sprawl Live & In-PrintSHAKING HAND
@shaking__hand
Manchester trio Shaking Hand have sealed the deal on an amalgamation of math, post-rock and experi-indie 90s greats. Imagine Tortoise, American Analog Set and Yo La Tengo housed up in the basement of a dilapidated factory floor. Enveloping rhythmic guitar lines and tight meandering instrumentals have cemented their reputation as of the bands riding the next big Wave out of their home city.
HOLLY HEAD
@hollyhead.band
Building danceable agit-funk from the ground up, fomenting a patchwork of percussive patterns and indefatigable bass before razorwire guitars and frontman, guitarist and lyricist, Joe’s clarion call vocals, Holly Head’s rollcall of high-impact influences include Wu-Lu, Happy Mondays, Kokoroko, Fugazi, Fela Kuti and DJ Shadow. Of their music released to date, their frenetic, live-favourite debut single, No Gain, has ascended to ‘if you know, you know’ underground classic status, securing them a debut BBC 6 Music ‘New Music Fix’ live session.
PICT
@pict_band
Pict are a British indie band crafting emotionally rich songs that blend atmospheric guitar textures with modern alternative pop sensibility. Their music balances intimacy and scale, pairing thoughtful lyricism with shimmering production and a strong melodic core. With a sound that feels both reflective and immediate, Pict create songs designed to connect through mood, honesty and understated power.
