Martha

Passionate punk-pop band Martha served as a UK counterpart to the US DIY scene of the 2010s, working in the same high-energy but emotionally vulnerable territory as contemporaries like Swearin' and Radiator Hospital. Employing tight vocal harmonies, buzzsaw guitars, and zippy tempos, the group created a distinctively high-strung brand of pop on albums like 2016's Blisters in the Pit of My Heart.

Oh, Peas! is the solo project of Cardiff-based singer-songwriter Rosie Smith (also one half of noise duo Totem Terrors). Her lo-fi instrumentation and witty lyrics put her somewhere between comedy and straight Indiepop.
