Newcastle-based Central Arcade are building something special. We caught up with the band to talk about origins, their creative process, and what it feels like to bring their new EP No Place To Be to life on stage.  

Swallow Sorrow have embarked on their “Cur Le Chéile” tour, which got its name as a means to highlight the importance of collaboration and to promote unity between women throughout the Irish music scene. Joined by Other Mother, Dogswim and For Nina, the tour hits Galway, Cork and Dublin. We talked to Swallow Sorrow about touring, the female music scene in Ireland and connecting to the audience. This tour does not only feature incredibly talented musicians, but it's also a reminder that the future of Irish music is being built collaboratively, ferociously, and in real time by women who know exactly what they’re doing.

Los Angeles–based artist and songwriter JULITH releases her debut EP This Is A Kindness today, April 10th, and she was kind enough to sit down and talk to us about the politics that inspire her songwriting, and why rebranding is needed sometimes. 

Merricat, gaze infused alt-rockers from Dublin, Ireland, met as a group of students in late 2024. They began taking their project seriously since 2025 and have been working together ever since. Their music draws inspiration from a wide range of bands and genres, with key influences including DIIV, The Smashing Pumpkins, Julie, and Mary and the Junkyard. Their two recent releases, "springfield glen” and “merrow”, mark important milestones in the band’s evolving musical direction and will be included on their debut EP, which is out now.

After releasing Nosebleed earlier this year, Kispah is back with a new, fresh track, something built to make you dance in your living room while wishing you were shoulder‑to‑shoulder in a sweaty venue.

Therapy Horse’s new single, SISTER TO NONE, doesn’t arrive gently. It lumbers into the room like a wounded animal, carrying with it the weight of every whispered doubt, every online sneer, every “Why didn’t she leave?” that has ever been weaponised against a survivor.

Charlotte Sands is proof that alt-pop can bleed. She’s the artist who designs her own merch. Who stitches together outfits when inspiration outpaces budget and who thrives in the restless life on the road. She’s a mythmaker of independence, turning every DIY survival tactic into art. Her new album Satellite is her cosmos, a record that insists on feeling everything, even when it hurts.
