Led by charismatic lead singer and guitarist Kyle Fisher and boosted by the tireless rhythm section of Merrick Powell and Jonny Dolan, this trio pays homage to mid-2000s indie rock without merely imitating the sound of the era.
Their debut album, ‘All Our Friends’, shows off their talents on 12 powerful songs that combine powerful performances, intricate production and heartfelt songwriting to create a record that is both wildly energetic and wonderfully fun.
The album is a crowd-pleaser suitable for old-school indie purists and new listeners alike, begging to be blasted at full volume on a sweaty dance floor full of gyrating bodies.

Lola Scott, another spectacular performer on the showcase, has quickly established herself as a performer to look out for.
Lola started her journey as a session musician and has since made the leap into creating her own music.
Her indie pop sound, peppered with synth-heavy melodrama, is as versatile as it is interesting.
She describes her sound as ‘organized chaos disguised as alternative pop’.
