Leeds-based indie-rock quartet Pretend Best Friends release their debut single 'Save Myself,' on 31st January 2025. 'Save Myself' has already been championed by BBC Introducing (York & North Yorkshire) and is the first in a line of releases for early 2025. The bands sound is uplifting, vibrant and every chorus is massive. PBF are heavily influenced by the anthems of 90's Brit-pop but never stray too far from the chaos of the mid-00's New Yorkshire revolution, where most of the band became regulars of the Leeds Music Scene. The band were formed in early 2024, boasting a wealth of experience with members having played in the legendary International Trust and Kleine Schweine.

The Sexy Wild East are a 2 piece British/Canadian electropunk band based in Budapest, Hungary. They have been described as "the angry Pet Shop Boys" and "like Sleaford Mods but shorter". You may recognise frontman Neil Hanson from Leeds punk band Kleine Schweine with whom he toured Europe and played with Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, Goldblade and many more. Neil is ably assisted by production genius Chris Welch formerly from Yukon, Canada. Now having ditched guitars and drums for laptops and beats, The Sexy Wild East blast hard hitting political electro with an underlying party vibe. Their 3rd album Unfuckinbelievable is pulling in fans worldwide, and onstage they are energetic, fun and totally unmissable.

Paul Morricone is sat, legs crossed, waiting in an airport lounge. Blue brogue shoes, red shirt, a long black coat with the collars up and a small carry-on bag with a colourful Roy Liechtenstein image on the side of it boldly showing the word ‘BOOOOM!!!’. There is something pop art about his ethos. Combining the familiar every day with a vivid presentation and reimagining it. “Not exactly the most convincing luggage to get through security” remarks Paul, “all that’s in there is my orchestra in a box.” He is referring to the backing track player he brings as he makes his way to a couple of solo gigs in Hungary.
