Pastel are a 5-piece guitar band signed to independent Manchester label; Spirit of Spike Island. Having previously topped the vinyl charts with their debut EP, selling out shows across the UK and being personally chosen by Liam Gallagher to play at his Knebworth shows, their long awaited debut album 'souls in motion' is set to be released in January 2025

Thrillhouse have previously earned support from BBC Introducing, Radio X and KEXP along with comparisons to The National and Arcade Fire. Yet leaning into a more intimate sound charged with pure emotion has introduced them to a new audience, with the recent track 'Wanna See You Smile' amassing 25 million views across Instagram. Now the Brighton (UK) duo are poised to capitalise upon that interest when they release their second album, 'Smile', on April 3rd. They launch the album alongside the lead single 'I'll Still Be There'.

Afflecks Palace: Sunshine Death [Vinyl LP]

Manchester favourites Afflecks Palace return with their third LP, Sunshine Death, a cathartic and deeply personal record inspired by vocalist J. Fender's widowmaker heart attack on a flight from North Carolina to London. Fusing the melodic spirit of The Smiths with the intensity of Minor Threat and production nods to At The Drive-In, the album delivers raw energy, soaring melodies, and introspective lyricism. Praised by BBC 6Music, Johnny Marr and Andy Bell (Oasis / RIDE) this release on vinyl will sell out.
