Tramhaus is the daring postpunk sensation from the restless and ever-innovative city of Rotterdam. In the span of its relatively short existence, Tramhaus has managed to make a name far beyond the borders of their hometown. Marked by their joyous and energetic experience, the band has proven to be able to convey this message both in live and recorded settings. The music of Tramhaus feels like a soundtrack to a vivacious, mysterious, and dangerous story.

Once again channeling the rawness of the North East coast, Pit Pony return with their second album Dead Stars.

A broader and more ambitious, but yet wholly cohesive follow up to their debut album World To Me, Dead Stars promises to reveal infinitely finer details with each listen.

Ainsley is one of the UK’s most distinctive and versatile singers, known for her remarkable voice, storytelling, and emotive style. Her previous album, Not Just Ship Land (2021), named The Guardian’s Album of the Month, showcased her ‘voice thick with velvet and mirk,’ likened to the warmth of The Breath and the forlorn depth of early Adele.
