thistle. is a British alternative rock band from Northamptonshire. The was band formed in 2023 by members Cameron Godfrey (Potwash), Judwyn and Lewis O’Grady. Their style has been described as being a blend of heavy shoegaze and indie-punk. The group is not only recognisable by their recorded music but also by their high-energy live performances. During band’s so far short lifespan, they have seen radio play via BBC 6 and Radio X, played extensive shows around the UK within the shoegaze and alt-rock scene, as well as in Germany and France. The group are set to release their first EP in 2025.
Penge-based hyper rockers Flytrap release their debut single “Gutted” out today (21st September) via Big Richard Records (Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Lost Lyra, Kipper Gillespie). Adopting the effect-driven, rhythmic thunder of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and the sprawling technicalities of Bygones, Flytrap cite a variety of influences, amongst them the lyricisms of the world-famous Nirvana and Washington D.C’s Faraquet. Aiming for post-thrash with finesse, the track was produced and mixed by Spencer Withey at Farmroad Studios in Brighton, with additional mixing by Alex (from the band) and mastering by Harry Hayes of Studio Nunn.
