Communion Records’ MARTHAGUNN are out on their Autumn UK headline tour, their biggest run of shows to date. Fresh from their appearances at The Great Escape and Bushstock Festival, the Brighton five-piece will be covering the length and breadth of the UK, avoiding the well-trodden path of major-city focussed touring and hitting-up towns often forgotten on most national tours. Their 17-date tour will run through from September to October..
Made up of Abi, Max, Humphrey, Ally and Frankie – MarthaGunn first bonded together in Brighton and quickly found themselves living together. Taking musical cues from bands including Fleetwood Mac, Mystery Jets and Haim, over the last 18 months the band have been honing their live show and are now poised and ready for their Autumn UK headline tour.
CHURCH OF NON BELIEVERS are Hull’s only Electro Punk export, marrying layers of electronics with art rock guitar and the dark idiosyncratic lyrics of vocalist Deeaay Harrison.
Formed in 2017, Church Of Non Believers fuse elements of LCD Sound System, New Order and Dark eighties pop with the more edgy and experimental post punk feel of Talking Heads, Radiohead and Pixies. Blues, rave, country and rock fight for air in their intense slices of life. No drums, no bass, just beats, samples, keyboards and angular guitars.
Playing sermons for the broken yet warm of heart. Church of Non Believers are a band that explore the darker side of life, the current political collapse and satirical examinations of the self with a wry and battle scarred honesty. Dramatic, confrontational, Melodic. Eyes wide open.
GLASS DIAMONDS are a new 6 piece pop band from Hull, East Yorkshire. Led by front man and chief songwriter James Wood, the band have already fully immersed themselves in the music scene, both locally and beyond. With gigs coming up in Hull and Leeds and a live session booked with BBC Introducing, the group are certainly ones to watch in 2019!
Songwriting ingenuity, vocal prowess and keen musicianship in hand, Glass Diamonds are a 6 piece band that deliver piano-led foot-stomping power pop with aplomb. Catchy choruses are mixed with drama, energy and pure fun.
In the short time they’ve been together, Glass Diamonds have gained a loyal following, played gigs in Hull, Leeds and Newcastle and have played a session for BBC Introducing which was highly praised by presenter Alan Raw.’
