Punchlove

For the five members of Punchlove - multi-instrumentalists Jillian Olesen, Ethan Williams, Joey Machina, Ian Lange-McPherson, and visual artist Viz Wel - moving into a maze of a house in Brooklyn together was the transition that created the album they had been writing their whole lives. Quietly evolving from a bedroom project to a headlining live phenom, Punchlove gears up a densely layered bed of emotionally serrated pain-pop songs that coalesce around a digitally-stimulated, emotional brand of modern neo-shoegaze.

Bored Marsh are an alternative rock 4-piece, their name referencing a now derelict shopping centre & lack of progress in their hometown through Government funding cuts and austerity, who are starting to draw the recognition and attention of those further afield.

Formed via lockdown demo-sharing, their reverb-soaked dynamic sound combines soaring melodic vocal and guitar harmonies, with darker, heavier sections. Taking inspiration from various eras of guitar music over recent decades, from early post-punk and grunge, through to more recent shoegaze and new wave influences, references include the likes of Interpol and Radiohead.
