Shonen Knife @ The Glee Club, Nottingham 03/10
The Osaka all-female three-piece have been peddling their punk infused, 60s pop inspired wares since 1981 and well, their infectious, simple guitar driven melodies have held on to their vitality pretty tightly.

Swim Deep @ The Sebright Arms, London 04/10
Birmingham really is just a one stop shop for incredible new bands at the moment. We’re not quite sure what they’re putting in the water up there but we’re pretty sure whatever it is was distilled in the 90s.

Wintersleep @ Nice N Sleazy, Glasgow 04/10
The Nova Scotian indie veterans’ recent full length album Hello Hum is a mournful, optimistic and stirring collection of tracks that will undoubtedly result in held breaths and heaving sighs from those lucky enough to experience it live.
