Manchester alternative rock band IST IST formed back in 2014 and have released at least one studio or live album each year since 2019. Earlier this month, the band released their fifth studio album 'DAGGER' through their own label Kind Violence Records, and it has to be their most experimental record yet.
After a series of EP’s since 2021's Year of the Rat, Softcult release their debut album 'When A Flower Doesn’t Grow' via Easy Life Records. Twin siblings Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn have created a record that covers a lot of ground, while charting a journey through trauma, disillusionment, empowerment and liberation.
