KING NUN King Nun are a rock band from South London inspired by the likes of Sonic Youth and The Velvet Underground. Their debut album ‘Mass’ was released in October via Dirty Hit, and prompted NME to describe them as a band that are ‘brutal and brilliant in their honesty’. glen@kyotomusic.co.uk kingnun.com

NASTY CHERRY Nasty Cherry are a band formed just over a year ago, with its members handpicked by Charli XCX, with the aim of creating the hardcore, confi dent girl band that Charli wished she had been able to listen to as a teenager. Their musical journey has been chronicled on the Netfl ix series ‘I’m With The Band’, from meeting to writing together to recording incredible music. They have released an EP, ‘Season 1’, from the music they created during the series. nastycherryband@gmail.com nastycherryoffi cial.com

CROWS Crows are a London-based punk band who formed in 2012 but only released their debut LP ‘Silver Tongues’ last year. They have become immensely popular in their time gigging around London, and have supported the likes of Wolf Alice, Slaves METZ, and have toured with IDLES. The great relationship between Crows and IDLES led to ‘Silver Tongues’ being released through Balley Records, owned by IDLES frontman Joe Talbot and manager Mark Bent. cal@c1ean.co crowsband.com

HMLTD Widescreen post-punkers HMLTD have just released their debut ‘West of Eden’ on Lucky Number. Across these 15 tracks the band realise their artistic vision in full technicolour, with all shades of their sonic palette used to create an album that is equal parts lush and abrasive. stephen@luckynumbermusic.com hmltd.org
