LACUNA
The six friends and musicians that make up Glasgow outfit Lacuna have been putting out steady releases and gigging since 2021. They’ve played sold-out shows at the famous Windmill venue in Brixton and received a nomination for Best Newcomer at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards. In 2025, Lacuna sold out their King Tut’s headline show, travelled around the country, played alongside renowned artists Corto Alto and Edwyn Collins, and released their second and third EPs. The band have carved out a reputation for rich storytelling and melodic flair, expertly crafting intricate and dynamic soundscapes, drawing comparisons to Ethel Cain, boygenius, Daughter, and Lana Del Rey. The year closed with the release of their third EP, Nest, a vinyl collaboration with Assai Records, and an explosive King Tut’s headline.
MILER
Miler is the indie alternative rock project of Calista Morgan, a Hastings-born artist now based in Brighton. Rooted in the confessional tradition, Miler draws from a steady diet of artists like Florence + The Machine, Wolf Alice, and Fleetwood Mac. The result is music that feels both expansive and intimate - driven by instinct, atmosphere, and an unflinching honesty, paired with a voice that deftly shifts between soaring, tender vocals and a guttural grit. With swirling indie born from Shoe Gaze and 90s Grunge influences, to Country tinged slowburners with War on Drugs-esque crescendos, Miler is for fans of Blondshell, Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen.
THE PENNYDROPS
The Pennydrops are a band formed in 2025 by two songwriters, J.J. Chamberlain and Izzy Hartley, who are based in York, UK. The duo have been cowriting since early 2025 and have already written enough songs for an E.P. which is in production for 2026. The band's sound takes influence from a multitude of genres, shades of Fleetwood Mac crash into dashes of Radiohead, driven by mutual childhoods that were shaped by The Beatles. The songs themselves, often comment on the injustices of the modern western world, the pressures on creative and alternative people to 'fit in' and how this affects our own sense of morality. Witty yet wistful lyrics delivered by warm, interweaving voices, The Pennydrops have a genre-bending sound that is both fresh but nostalgic.
