Ok - who lives in #Brighton, or knows peeps who do?

Be Kind Cadaver have put together a frankly excellent show on 24th of September - expect mad ritual, experimental post-punk, doom-ballads and more. Plus the support for this one are all awesome.

Help us out - share this to your Brighton friends!

Well, isn't this bloody wonderful? Just sold the family home of 70 years, so the words of Under Offer cut through like a jagged knife. @arabstrap.scot arabstrapband.bandcamp.com/album/half-t...

Bright Phoebus Revisited with @elizacarthy.bsky.social, @marrywaterson.bsky.social et al at EartH was a rather special night. Paul Weller providing a moving Never The Same, and Daragh Lynch's Scarecrow was a chilling slice of folk-horror. Also a pleasure to run into @davidwilloughby.bsky.social

@endoftheroadfestival.com 2026 was as enjoyable and enlightening as always. So many highlights, but some of the most ethereal moments were from the combined 245 years or so of evergreen veterans Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Bonnie Dobson and The Space Lady.

The last ever release on Fenny Compton. As if another excuse were necessary

A Sun-Amissa with Lauren Mason performing Water Scores at Tough Love in St Leonards - atmospheric and apocalyptic - backed by IAN's effective hybrid of reflective post rock punctuated by manic vocals and thunderous riffs

@riotseasonrecords.bsky.social stablemates at the Piper last night. Black Helium were excellent as ever, but Hibushibire were on another plane. Intense energy and captivating riffs, none better than their reimagined Occitan folk tune Ai Vist Lo Lop

Finally got to see EarthBall, and their compelling sonic explorations.
Support from the legend Charles Hayward with Nathan Greywater, and a big old free for all at the end was an extra treat

Brutal crashing walls of noise, A Place To Bury Strangers at @concorde2.bsky.social last night. Ear plugs proved ineffective. A band known for playing in the audience, so Carmen from openers Die Anstalt went one better

In the zone - @lidders.bsky.social hitting the right spots at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social last night. @pefkin.bsky.social on violin too. Tight 60 minute set, but could happily have listened for much longer

Always unpredictable, always a joy. @prolapseband.bsky.social playing a blinder at @100clublondon.bsky.social, with excellent support from @jetstreampony.bsky.social

Plans for an evening at @cafeoto properly scuppered. 2 hours to go to the next station and back again

You're not supposed to admit you're struggling. But we r - and I know for a fact we're not alone. The grassroots is dying - it needs U to keep it alive. Buy something from a small label/press. Tell ppl about it who don't often support such things. Explain to them why it's so important.

PLS SHARE.

Yesterday my label Frosti released a split album - ‘Swaying Shadows’ - from Connecticut producer Samantha S and Two Way Mirrors (which is one of my own projects).
An album of blurry ambience and cyclic drones of static pressure. CDs and cassettes on Bandcamp!

I loved making an album with worm sound recordings for @quietdetails.bsky.social, so I made a short film about it…

We've raised £29 of £200 goal.

I appreciate there are lots of things to spend money on, but by laying down a pitiful £2 on this E.P. your not only getting an interesting document on the Fez Medina, but funding the next research project!
