They followed with the Big Attraction EP in 2017, which featured the whip smart track I’m Not A Loser, the punching oi punk of Westgate and the pugnacious violence of Mole (Sniff Sniff). These early EPs had a grab bag of influences, from Australian rock to rap to 70s punk, but the sound was all the Sniffers’ own — short, fast, loud and funny.

Australian powerhouse partystarters Confidence Man are back and celebrating their big move to London the only way they know how: flying over the city in a helicopter, naked. The visual for lead single ‘I CAN’T LOSE YOU’ – a sugary shot of euphoria from their third studio release 3AM (LA LA LA) – sees the pop-dance delinquents setting out their stall from a great height: they want to whisk you away from the dull wasteland of modern mediocrity, pump up the volume and, with their typical unseriousness, crashland on the dancefloor. This is album three, Confidence Man 3.0, locked and loaded, and they’re building a rave new world, where the outfits are daringly small, the hairstyles outrageously large, and it’s always, always night.

2020 was a sobre, still, introspective time for many. For HAAi – the Australian-born, London-based DJ and producer – it was no different. For someone so used to spending multiple nights a week in the club, surrounded by sweat, strobes and dancing, lockdown felt particularly weird. “Before the pandemic, I was playing a lot of really long sets. I was so immersed in music all the time,” she says now. “I love touring! I have ADHD, so I feel like I have the stamina to play late shows and go to the airport. So much of how my brain is wired lends itself to the life that I have.” When all of that was taken away, HAAi threw herself into producing, mixing and writing tracks to compensate. “I would never have taken that much time off before.” Now that clubs are open and planes are running, HAAi has spent a lot of time being back in the booth, surrounded by noise and beats and people. It’s where she feels most comfortable, most herself. “You get to play a party where you feel like it’s your birthday party every night,” she says. “It’s important to take breaks now and then. From now onwards, it’s going to be crazy busy.”

Hailing from Wrexham, Wales, Neck Deep are a pop-punk band whose energetic and hook-driven songwriting has earned them acclaim and chart success on both sides of the Atlantic. After building a grass roots audience in the early 2010s with a pair of self-released EPs, they became a staple of the Hopeless Records roster, lodging a string of U.K. Independent chart-toppers like 2015’s Life’s Not Out to Get You and 2017’s The Peace and the Panic. The latter LP made it to number four on the U.S. pop charts, proving Neck Deep’s widespread appeal.

The ever-evolving musical vehicle for notorious psych-rock musician Anton Newcome, the Brian Jonestown Massacre has endured numerous phases and iterations since arriving in the mid-’90s, becoming something of an independent institution in the process. Early highlights like 1996’s Their Satanic Majesties’ Second Request showed Newcombe’s propensity for melding late-’60s psychedelia with textured shoegaze, while later standouts like 2015’s imaginary soundtrack Musique de Film Imaginé took a more cerebral and experimental approach. Undoubtedly, the band’s most visible period followed the release of the 2004 documentary film DIG!, which focused on the contentious relationship between Newcombe and Dandy Warholds frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor. With the film criticized by members of both groups for what they considered to be an unfair portrayal, the Brian Jonestown Massacre nonetheless survived the media attention and moved into a particularly fertile period of creativity throughout the 2010s. The band’s first release of the next decade was 2022’s Fire Doesn’t Grow on Trees, quickly followed by 2023’s Your Future Is Your Past.

Without shying away from their influences, the band has matured, and albums like 2017’s Different Creatures, 2019’s What’s It Like Over There? showcase their deepening maturity and knack for crafting their own distinctively infectious, post-punk anthems. In 2020, they reached number four on the U.K. albums chart with Sad Happy and returned in 2023 with Never Going Under.
