It’s not everyday you get a band the caliber of FEEDER playing the English Riviera but the 1000 capacity Foundry in the heart of Torquay gave them the rousing welcome they deserved with a sold out show and an enthusiastic crowd.

“nothing is wasted on this finely honed slice of indie-folk” - CLASH MAGAZINE

“the Glasgow-based artist treats us to pensive beats and his bold vocal delivery, culminating in a heartbreak anthem worthy of the name” - WONDERLAND

“…an artistry that’s as catchy and engaging as it is emotive” - EARMILK

“It’s an incredible feeling to experience even a fraction of the emotions attached to ‘Ghosts’ and that is the mark of a truly talented artist” - ONES TO WATCH

Sophomore LP Anxious Stargazing Available Now on CD and Digital

Friday 1 March 2024: Yard Act are in Bristol’s Rough Trade to play two shows to celebrate and promote the release of their sophomore album Where’s My Utopia? I kick-started the evening meeting up with new ‘Gig-Friends’ who seem to be at ALL the gigs at The Lanes, a venue situated a stone’s throw from Rough Trade.

Tonight was one of those ‘pinch me’ moments, having seen Skindred entertain the masses at Download Festival and Sonisphere Festival in the past, it was a rare treat to see them performing at a much more intimate venue such as The Foundry in Torquay which isn’t that far from Benji Webb’s beloved Newport in Welsh Wales. The audience knew they were in for a treat with gig-goers travelling in from the far corners of Devon and Cornwall to be in the English Riviera for what promised to be a kick-ass show. 

On the back of releasing her new album Paint My Bedroom Black, Holly has announced her largest UK and European tour to date.

Tonight, Exeter Phoenix played host to an incredible band, a band that have redefined the meaning of chic with their effortless styling of post-punk classics, transforming them from a sweat soaked gig in the 1980’s to a laid back Parisian bar, full of cocktail dresses, strappy heels and bearded musos (not bearded musos in strappy heels), sipping their drinks whilst nodding along to the groovy vibes emanating from the stage. 

Did you miss that telly show where RAYE won just about everything? If you did, fear not as we sat through every painstaking minute of it to bring YOU the things worthy of reporting on, like CMAT flashing her arse, which was one of the more comical moments of the night!

Ahead of one of the greatest lineups that BEARDED THEORY FESTIVAL has ever put on, we wanted to catch up with acts performing over the weekend.

MERYL STREEK is a performer that we saw in 2023 whilst supporting the mighty P.I.L. on their UK tour, we really enjoyed his set and wanted to learn more about his influences, his dislike of fancy dress, acts that he’s excited about seeing at Bearded Theory Festival and his own dream festival lineup, best buckle up….

THE WEDDING PRESENT CELEBRATE 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF SEMINAL ALBUM:
‘BIZARRO’

PERFORMING IT LIVE AND IN-FULL AT AUTUMN SHOWS, PLUS HITS FROM THEIR VAST BACK CATALOGUE

In the video for the stand-alone single 'The Trenchcoat Museum' (released between Yard Act's superb debut album The Overload and this long-awaited follow-up) singer James Smith describes the band as "a bunch of sell-outs, whereabouts currently unknown". Thankfully, the band are present and correct for an album that massacres any hint of them not living up to the hype.
