Glass Peaks is a proper band. You know what we mean when we say that, a proper exciting live act.
Comprised of Alfie Jefferies (Bass and vocals), Jake Cox (Guitar) and Grant Tugwell (Drums), these guys are relentlessly tearing their way through the scene.
Post-grunge/new-wave at their core, energetic, sometimes political, sometimes electronic, often sarcastic, these guys have a lot to say.
Listen to ‘Never Really Left’ below, taken from their upcoming EP, that continues the theme of social media toxicity.

Started by London-based Zygmunt Day, Joe Hyam and Nathan Kerntiff in 2019, Bad Progress is an experimental and refreshingly practical project that focuses on “the blend of musical styles playing in pubs and out of car windows in London” in a timeless and often scrappy style.
Their philosophy is “just make it easy”, which can be seen in their EP, ‘Moody Bangers’, out now.
Sounds like: Fontaines D.C., Black Midi, The Clash, Black Country New Road
Big Fox might not be a name on the lips of the UK music lovers, but she has had huge success around Europe, especially Scandinavia, Germany, Italy and France.
The fragility of her new single ‘Beast’ is moving – she interrogates the process of using violence and fear to enforce order, and frames through a plucky-pop lens.
Multi-talented Scandinavian songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer Emil Wilk, better known as M.I.L.K releases new single ‘Need A Witness’ via Capitol Universal.

Drangsal’s debut album ‘Harieschaim’ will be out on Caroline International on 22 April.
