Swallow the Rat are a post-punk band from Auckland, New Zealand, consisting of a core duo of guitarist Brian Purington and drummer Hayden Fritchley. Since forming in late 2017, steady releases and relentless touring has seen the band earn a favourable underground following along with coveted international support slots for the likes of Sebadoh, No Age, Gang of Four, Arab Strap, June of 44, Quicksand, Toe, and Mannequin Pussy. In 2024, on the back of sophomore album ‘South Locust’, the band completed their 3rd US tour, taking them from Texas to New York and back again, concluding with a triumphant return to SXSW. The album was recorded by long-time collaborator of the band Nick Abbott (Die Die Die), mixed by Sonny Diperri (Protomartyr, Diiv) and mastered by Carl Saff (Sonic Youth). Debuting at #7 on the Official NZ Album Charts the record made numerous end of year lists, and the track ‘Cave’ was voted a top ten single at the 2024 NZ Student Radio Network Awards. 2025 sees the band re-emerge with an EP titled ‘Face Unpopular’, featuring 3 new songs plus a blistering remix by A Place To Bury Strangers. Expect a May release with an accompanying 7 inch via Otautahi/Christchurch imprint Leather Jacket Records and further tour dates to come.

Alkine är ett metal-band som grundades i Skåne 2023. Deras sound grundar sig i snabb, groovig thrash-metal med melodiska inslag. Alkine släppte sina första singlar och debut EP under 2024. Snart är det dags för Alkine att släppa sin första singel till deras kommande album. Mängder med energi, högljudd, tung och hård metal är vad Alkine tar med sig upp på scen.
