Man/Woman/Chainsaw are Billy Ward (vocals, guitars), Emmie-Mae Avery (vocals,keys/synths), Vera Leppänen (vocals, bass), Clio Starwood (violin) and Lola Cherry (drums).

A precociously talented band from London, who recently celebrated their 100th gig. Since their debut at 16 years old and across three self-released singles,the band have proven themselves as one of the most exciting and unpredictable young acts in the capital, both joyous and raucous in equal measures. Last year’s “What Lucy Found There” was to be their breakthrough, securing attention for the band from the likes of The Quietus, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, So Young, BBC 6 Music and more.

This November the band truly come of age with their debut EP, “Eazy Peazy”, to land on the indie taste-maker label Fat Possum Records. Recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox at Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne, the group present us with cinematic arrangements, mauled by moments of cacophony; the band’s Billy Ward says of their writing process,“we thrive on the thin line between pretty and noisy, often trying to jump between the two-it’s that chaos that excites us.”

From the driving immediacy of opener “The Boss”, to the robust backbone of “SportsDay”, to the theatrical beauty of “Grow A Tongue In Time” and orchestral highlight “Ode To Clio”, the six track EP captures all the cerebral intensity, and celebratory melody, of the Man/Woman/Chainsaw live performance. It signals the start proper for a band who have been allowed to experiment, given the time to find their sound and line-up in a vibrant, supportive DIY community, and who will surely finish the year ready to take on the next with unbridled confidence. With boundless potential like theirs, you’d not bet against them.

THE NONE is a new band of lifelong musicians. Comprising bassist Gordon Moakes (Bloc Party, Young Legionnaire), vocalist Kai Whyte (Blue Ruth, Youth Man), guitarist Jim Beck (Cassels) and drummer Chris Francombe (Frauds), they make an uncompromising vision of noise rock with melody at its heart.

The band formed at the start of 2023 and bonded over hours in the rehearsal room – making noise, discussing shared obsessions, and, most importantly, playing together. 

The anonymity of their name reflects a creative approach which favours egoless experimentation and open collaboration. This ethos, the combined decades of music making, and the unique musical identities of all four members can be clearly heard in the art they create.

Following their debut shows in February 2024, THE NONE have quickly built a reputation as a formidable live act – racking up shows with the likes of Mannequin Pussy, Les Savy Fav and Dream Wife, as well as sold out shows of their own and a string of festival appearances. They are now gearing up to support METZ on their final ever tour before capping off the year supporting Big Joanie.

Often seen as the unsung pioneers of Manchester’s genre-blending music scene, Audioweb has defied expectations and are now experiencing a revival that’s reintroducing their distinctive sound to a whole new audience. Known for fusing the city’s pulse-pounding dance culture with the raw energy of bands like The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, Audioweb hits Policeman Skank and Bankrobber have become enduring fan favourites.

 After a hiatus, Audioweb returned to the stage in 2016 with an unforgettable set opening for The Stone Roses at the Etihad Stadium - a performance that reminded audiences of their incredible live shows. Since then, they’ve released a series of critically acclaimed singles and EP, proving their sound is as relevant and dynamic as ever.

2025 will mark 30 years since Audioweb’s debut Sleeper and they will be celebrating with a highly anticipated new album, anniversary tour, and festival dates that promise to see the band at the top of their game.
