Brighton-based Swallowtail are creating some of the most exciting sounds in the country right now. Their swirling, euphoric take on shoegazing post-punk calls to mind dignitaries of the genre Sonic Youth and The Twilight Sad, whilst remaining new, fresh and crucial.

Prima Queen are best friends. When Louise and Kristin met at university, an instant bond was formed and, not long later, so was their band. Their debut album, The Prize, is a vibrant celebration of that friendship, ambition, and life’s beautiful contradictions.
