Mandy, Indiana is the experimental project of Scott Fair, Valentine Caulfield and Liam Stewart (who has previously toured with Lonelady).

Danish band Iceage started out as an abrasive punk rock quartet before exploring a more multifaceted approach to songwriting.

Iceage formed in 2008, led by singer and guitarist Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, guitarist Johan Suurballe Wieth, bassist Jakob Tvilling Pless, and drummer Dan Kjær Nielsen. Read more on Last.fm

Jeshi’s journey to making Universal Credit, his open-hearted and heavy-hitting debut album, began with a desire to take his music further, to say something he’d not yet said on EPs like 2020’s BAD TASTE or The Worlds Spinning Too Fast.
