Strong flavours of Greta Van Fleet from this teenage Lichfield band. Impressive

How Will I Ever
Isabell Hultgren Farsani's seven-piece band are from Uppsala, and say they like to move in the musical borderland between Sweden and California, 'think Boy Genius, but in slush and sleet'

Lover
This follows the Verve Vet's 2018 album, 'Natural Rebel' and uses a sample for the first time since his 'Bittersweet Symphony' was stung by the greed of Andrew Loog Oldham. This time it's Joan Armatrading's 'Love And Affection'. Let's hope he's cleared it this time!

Shores (2XS)
The Macclesfield four-piece have been going since 2022. They say 'our aim is to make music which is lean, novel and emotionally cathartic.'. They do a pretty good job of that here
Run Free
The long-running 2XS Barn Session band from Ghent centres around brothers David and Stephen Dewaele. This is the first music by them that we have played since 2017, so it's good to have them back
Freakout At The Mud Palace
Mike Scott goes nuts over the Kansas star of 'New Hollywood', Dennis Lee Hopper
Mangetout
