Friends! Be an absolute star and vote for us in Drowned in Sounds Neptune Prize please! It’s the alt competition to the Mercury and it’s a pure buzz to be nominated alongside some legends and heros. We put everything into making this album so to be recognised in this way means a lot. Vote!
Disappointed by this year’s Mercury Prize list?

We had this feeling back in 2008 and set up an alternative prize. No entry fees. Our community of music lovers recommend records for the long list.

I hope the new party does well, Zack wins, Starmer is replaced by a soft left leader and the Lib Dems' progressive wing asserts itself. Cos honestly, an effective popular front against a Reform / Tory / Murdoch bloc will require ALL of those conditions to be met.

Popped into the local cluuuurb and played our first show in seven months last night.

Thank you to those that came, it felt very good to be playing live again so thanks for being part of that.

Talk about hometown gigs - this one is about a 3 minute walk from my front door.

We’ve been under the radar for a few months working on lots of new songs (and watching Severance). We thought we’d venture out to play an intimate show and hopeful play a handful of the new songs while we’re at it.

💥 Big news: MPs have just voted in favour of PR!

Thank you to Sarah Olney for her brilliant speech, and to the 138 MPs who backed the bill.

This is just the first step - but it's great to see so much cross-party support for a political system where all voices are heard 💪💯
