The Hug and Pint

There are few contemporary bands who can do musical reinvention quite as consistently as Black Country, New Road. From their Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut For the First Time, which touched upon everything from jazz to post-rock via klezmer music, to the art-rock meets chamber pop follow up Ants From Up There (both top 5 charting albums). Then when singer Isaac Wood amicably left shortly after, they wrote an entire set of new songs to tour which ended up on Live at Bush Hall, an album The Guardian claimed was a “magical resurgence” in a triumphant five-star review. Now, on studio album three, the band are once again building from the ground up in yet another miraculous musical transformation.

MX Lonely formed in 2022 out of the ashes of other projects. Rae Haas (lead vocals/synth), Jake Harms (vocals/guitar) and Gabriel Garman (bassist and producer/engineer) sought to create a heavier, more aggressive version of a home recording project Haas x Harms had begun a few years before. Their music internalizes the ethereality of shoegaze and a love for the icy aggression of post punk and noiserock, while retaining traditional songwriting sensibilities (Elliott Smith being a formative influence). Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, MX has been touring nationally since early 2024, with supporting slots for Trauma Ray, Midrift, The Dirty Nil, Cryogeyser and The Used, among others.

Nice N Sleazy

The Franco-Moroccan artist Sophia Djebel Rose distills a singular music that is a rare treat to experience. Blending folk, noise, experimental song, and avant-garde poetry, she invents a new language of her own.&nbsp;Born into the perpetual exile of a childhood divided between two countries, Sophia has turned wandering into her greatest strength. As a modern poetess, she now takes the stage alone, armed with an electric guitar and an harmonium, to sing of the beauty of the lands she has ceaselessly left behind. Her live performances intertwine Mediterranean music with ecological and feminist themes, all of it carried by a syncretic approach that merges into a mysticism meant as an invitation to break the course of things and to reclaim one’s strength.

“They are always different; they are always the same.”As John Peel once famously said about the Fall, perhaps the same can apply to the Besnard Lakes?Peerlessly consistent, familiar and with a purity of vision and level of quality that is hard to rival inmodern music.Except, they are not always the same. Not at all. New albumThe Besnard Lakes are the Ghost Nationillustrates this perfectly. Yes, the same sound world is present; the keening, lilting vocals of Jace Lasekand Olga Goreas foregrounded, but there is a lightness and optimism at play. Perhaps a somewhatdisingenuous sense of hope, in a world where it is currently often in short supply.

TopHouse was created in 2015 by two Montana music majors, guitarist/songwriter Jesse Davis and violinist William Cook before adding Joseph Larson (lead singer and guitar/banjo player,) and Andy LaFave (piano) in 2017 and 2022 respectively. After being vaulted to local fame in their birthplace of Missoula, with the Missoulian naming TopHouse one of the top 5 best new bands (two years in a row we might add), the band moved to Nashville, TN in October of 2019. TopHouse quickly set to work attaining a local residency as well as getting music played on Nashville’s premier new-music radio station Lightning 100. With some viral social media moments, a healthy dose of touring, consistent time in the studio, and a diet of Little Caesars and Red Bull, TopHouse has continued to grow to the point of selling out venues in cities they've never even heard of. When they aren’t touring the U.S. they can be found around Nashville TN, trying not to die in traffic and/or throwing the occasional round of disc golf.
