Antifolk pioneer and New York underground legend Lach is bringing his raw, unfiltered energy to Hyde Park Book Club as part of a bold UK summer tour that’s turning heads, not through social media hype, but entirely without it.

In a deliberate move away from platforms like Facebook and Instagram, Lach is relying on a radical old-school approach: word of mouth, genuine press, and the passion of people who believe in art that exists outside the algorithm. Leeds fans get the rare opportunity to be part of this cultural experiment firsthand.

Wavves' new album Spun is out now and arrives with a music video for the Travis Barker-produced track "Way Down." Led by singles such as “Goner,” the Nathan Williams and Stephen Pope co-write, “Lucky Stars,” and fan favorite “Spun,” the new record marks a confident return to the radio-ready alt-rock anthems that defined their 2013 breakout, Afraid of Heights. These songs are loud, lean, and built for volume. Spun leans hard into the band’s melodic instincts, delivering a tracklist full of hooks that stick and choruses that beg to be blasted.
