“Following the release of their debut album last year, Nottingham’s delightfully named, Stuart Pearce, offer a further taster of their sound with the excellent Nuclear Football single, alongside a selection of live tracks. I was immediately hit by how much this sounds like The Fall, but I’m fine with that as more bands should be ripping off The Fall, quite frankly. And there’s more to it than pure Fall-revivalism; the shrieking synth lines that run through these tunes provide a playful and strangely psychedelic contrast to the hard-hitting punk blasts accompanying their sardonic lyrical onslaught. Stuart Pearce could be your new favourite cult band.”

Stuart Pearce

Stuart Pearce: Gas Band of substance immemorial in an era of temporal content.
A band from the Midlands’ shires with a healthy distaste for the contemporary hellscape, in which we are left confused and divided by decades of postmodern irony, alienated labour and neoliberal economics. The past 12 months has seen support slots with Nightingales, The Cool Greenhouse and Benefits, establishing the frontiers of the Klang-Bop aesthetic for contemporary aural contemplation.

The next step on their long millennial march through the institutions is the imminent release of debut studio album ‘Red Sport International’ – 14 songs covering football violence, the fall of the Berlin Wall, critiques of contemporary social-relations and the importance of collectivism as a bulwark against the morass of nihilism and decadent individualism we find ourselves inhabiting in 2023. Whereas most bands merely observe the arc of history, their purpose is to change it.
+ Mouses

Mouses are guitarist and vocalist Steven Bardgett (he/they) and drummer Nathan Duff (he/him), a lo-fi garage queerpunk duo from the North East of England renowned for their raw, energetic and often chaotic live performances and their willingness to tackle societal orthodoxies and injustices head on. Formed in early 2014, they have built a growing reputation for their unique sound, combining surrealist yet often brutally honest lyrics with playful bubblegum melodies in a whirlpool of fuzzed out frenetic punk rock. They hold their own DIY safe-space festival ‘Mousetival’ every year in August, and work tirelessly to promote individuality and normalise gender fluidity.

As heard on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio. They have played at festivals such as Reading and Leeds, Greenbelt – a festival which they now curate a stage at – The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Evolution Emerging, Twisterella, Stockton Calling and Olgas Rock Festival in Germany and have shared stages with the likes of Idles, The Lovely Eggs, Wolf Alice, Martha and PAWS amongst many more of their favourite bands. They’re soon to release their highly anticipated follow up to debut album, ‘The Mouses Album’.
