With the release of Provence earlier this year, ferb have quickly risen on our list of exciting new bands to watch. And their latest single Killing It proves their standing entirely.

Brooki at The Windmill in Brixton, EnglandJuly 22th 2026

Nieve Ella is slowly but surely ringing in a new era that is built on confidence, grit, and a heavier, darker sound that cuts through the gloss of her earlier releases. Artists often get the word mature thrown at them, but what Nieve is doing feels more like a metamorphosis: a shedding of her teenage pop‑girl skin and the emergence of an alternative vocalist unafraid to bare her teeth.

Cherry Picks: Loud, Messy, Rock & Roll 🍒

London’s Saint Clair are quickly building a reputation for themselves in England’s alternative scene. With previously released songs wiped from streaming, the quartet have effectively hit reset, choosing to step forward with intention. Their debut EP Something To Be Said feels like a clean slate; a full work of art with the potential to define them for years to come.

Cardinals at Urbica in Pesaro, ItalyJuly 12th 2026

By opening with a reminiscence on their school days as far back as learning “to spell our names” in ‘Schoolyard’ and ending with ‘Restless in Bloom’, a lamentation of lost innocence which depicts the hopelessly relatable awkwardness of first experiences that arise in later years of adolescence, this five-track debut EP takes the listener through an unfiltered narrative of growing up in the UK.

Melbourne’s Paradise Valley feel like a force that’s been gathering shape for years. Made up of four friends – Harry, Lee, Matt and Brandon – who speak about their work with a quiet certainty: “Writing music is our destiny and is what drives us through each day.” Their sound sits somewhere between the dynamics of Kings of Leon and the emotional clarity of Sam Fender, but the band’s identity is shaped by something more unexpected.

London-based singer Matt-Felix is an artist who speaks in images before he speaks in statements. Now back with his latest single ‘All You Need’, he delves deeper into a dark and emotive landscape.

Catfish and the Bottlemen at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, EnglandAugust 3rd 2025

London indie-pop four-piece daydreamers have released their debut album Have You Tried Screaming? and it’s already shaping up to be one of those records that quietly defines a season. 

After the release of their debut EP Lackluster Writing Makes Fundamental Reading in 2025, it was clear that Belfast’s Makeshift Art Bar don’t mess around. That first project already hinted at a band uninterested in half‑measures and their sophomore EP Marionette is even louder, heavier, more fearless, and far more deliberate in its descent into chaos.

Wifeswap’s new EP marks a shift from the claustrophobic anger of their earlier work into something heavier and more reflective. The band spoke to us about cracked-open songs, Dublin’s disappearing venues and the strange grace of watching bigger artists up close. This is Wifeswap’s turning point, so make sure to tune in.
