// GETNER //

With a little luck, things might be looking up. GETNER offers hope where historical and autobiographical meet. Two Derry boys and two Northern souls united by a shared statement of anti-oppression, the band navigate modern day frustrations by combining lived experiences and family tales of fraught times. Shot with an energetic charge of potent post-punk, they harness intergenerational trauma from upbringing in a post-Troubles, pre-streaming world, to kick capitalism and colonialism in the knackers - and with good craic whilst they are at it. “History is the most important thing you can learn about because it informs everything in the future,” they say. “Our songs are steeped in volatile times; stories we’ve heard, read about, and the traumatic aftermath surrounding us as we grew up.”

// BADSTUNT //

Badstunt are a four piece alternative indie band based in Hampshire, since forming in late 2024 they have been playing packed rooms across the south coast as well as releasing their debut ep earlier this year. You can expect music inspired by a variety of artists such as Radiohead, title fight and even influence from genres such as Midwest emo.

// Sweet Gene //

Melody obsessed, groove driven 4 piece. Drawn to Manchester by the music culture brothers Freddie & Matt soon found themselves living and making music with friends in Dove Ellis and Westside Cowboy. 

Hooking up with rhythm section, Henry and Milo, locked in the groove and working with Producer Pranam Mavahalli saw the band's sound really take shape in 2026 with their bandcamp demos excitedly changing industry hands.
