Working Men’s Club released their debut single Bad Blood last year. Since then, they’ve signed to a new label and their music has taken on a different sound – now full of guitars and synths with a darker aspect.
Eventim recommends: White Rooms and People
Scottish indie three-piece, Vistas, have supported the likes of The Wombats, Circa Waves and The Kooks on their tours. Their bright and anthemic songs have had support from Huw Stephens and Annie Mac at Radio 1. Their debut album is set for release at the end of May, but they’ve released four songs from it already.
Eventim recommends: The Love You Give
Sorry was started by two friends with a few mixed tape-styled collections of home demos. Their experimental sound has influences of trip-hop, ‘90s alternative rock and early trap, which you can hear on their debut album 925 – released earlier this year.
Eventim recommends: Right Round The Clock
Singer, songwriter and producer, Lynda Dawn, has an old school sound influenced by soul, funk and jazz. She cites her upbringing in the Pentecostal church as shaping her as an artist. She released her debut EP, At First Light, last year.
Eventim recommends: Fonk Street
Glasgow-based double act, Bossy Love, mix alternative pop and R&B with sweet sounding vocals. The Guardian says “they’re the best Scottish pop act since Chvrches” – they released their debut album, Me + U, last Autumn.

Jamaican born UK artist, Cashh (fka Cashtastic), was deported to Jamaica for five years, but made his return to the UK last year. The time he spent in Jamaica encouraged the hip-hop rapper to grow musically. His return brings new music – his latest single, Trench, was released in March.
Eventim recommends: Incognito
Punk three-piece, Cable Ties, are led by abrasive guitars and powerful vocals. They formed in 2015 and often played in Melbourne’s diverse D.I.Y scene. Last month they released their second studio album, Far Enough, which has seen the band develop their raw sound into something more complex.
