at Pryzm, 7:00pm (14+) Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event).Marking the release of new album 22 Make, Oh Wonder return to Kingston!22 Make' is the surprise second half of the alt-pop-duo's 22 Break project, a brand new album they dropped with little warning towards the end of 2021. The band's most powerful and intimate music thus far, it unpicked a turbulent period in the incredible story of Oh Wonder: here were universal themes (loneliness, inadequacy, resentment, fears for the future) as experienced by one couple in real-time, all blown up in the pandemic. Not many bands can make a break-up album that culminates in them tying the knot - but then again, Oh Wonder have never been like other bands. Coming out of ‘22 Break’ and all the soul-searching that it forced them to do, Josephine and Anthony got married and channelled all this into '22 Make'.-Times TBC but we expect doors at 7pm with Oh Wonder on stage at 8pm.-Pryzm is 14+ for this show.

Lande Hekt Tuesday 11th October
at Banquet Records, 6:00pm RESCHEDULEDTo celebrate the release of her new album titled 'House Without A View', Lande Hekt visits Kingston to play an in-store set.Lande Hekt’s natural state of being is in the writing of a song. Having crafted politically aware, heart-on-sleeve, punchy yet tender, punk-flecked songs with her band Muncie Girls, Lande turned her hand to an even more personal songwriting approach as she embarked on writing a solo record - 2021’s ‘Going to Hell’. The debut full-length documented her experience coming out as gay. It set out her stall as a solo artist with supreme storytelling abilities and a knack for understatedly luminous melodies. Lande’s music sits beautifully alongside such essential artists as The Wedding Present, The Sundays, The Replacements, Sleeper and Sharon Van Etten.With her debut album barely a year old, 2022 sees Lande armed with a whole new collection of song-form vignettes and musings on her life and experiences.-In-store Grade C.Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of House Without A View from us.Albums will be posted unless you select 'Collect in Shop' when checking out.-Entry conditions will include whichever Covid-19 safety measures are advised by government at the time.PLEASE NOTE: date is subject to change pending government / NIHP guidance around the coronavirus outbreak.

That was a coming-of-age record, bold songs for Saturday nights and sad songs for Sunday mornings. So much has changed, continues to change, and promises to change some more. And in this world of constant change, we yearn for the familiarity of a constant. Thankfully, one constant remains the unique, jubilant, unassailable bond that sews this brilliant London band together and what that does for their music, too. Another such constant is their collective ear for melody and knack for writing smart, sharp, and infectious indie-pop knockouts.-Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with The Big Moon on at 8:00pmPryzm is 14+ for this show.

The Dangerous Summer Tuesday 18th October
at Banquet Records, 6:00pm LP expected 16/12/2022To celebrate the release of their sixth full length album titled 'Coming Home', The Dangerous Summer return to Kingston to play an in-store set.The Dangerous Summer signed their first record deal as high school seniors and quickly established themselves among the alt-rock world’s elite. Passionate delivery, confessional authenticity, and deeply resonant musical storytelling define their sound. The band writes hooks that serve as soundtracks for important life moments for a diverse group of listeners spread across the globe. The audience is more family than a fanbase. The community feeling is apparent at every gig, from Slam Dunk to Riot Fest, from touring with State Champs to headlining shows. Reach for the Sun is the record that “shot them into the pop- punk pantheon” (Kerrang!). Powered by unshakeable, enduring alt-rock anthems, the Ellicott City, Maryland band’s debut album made them heroes of the Warped Tour world, all while they carved their own unique path. 2011’s War Paint was a sophomore-slump-smashing follow-up. Grantland likened the “tall and wide” riffs of 2013’s Golden Record to The Hold Steady and U2. (“Catholic Girls” even earned The Danger Summer praise from the famously discerning Pitchfork.) Alternative Press saluted The Dangerous Summer as a group that stayed true to their sound, praising the songs on their 2018 self-titled comeback album as equal parts charismatic and addictive. 2019’s Mother Nature conjured an emotional storm, with an uplifting bent. Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie appeared on the 2020 EP, All That Is Left Of The Blue Sky. Produced by Will Beasley (Turnstile, Asking Alexandria), 2022’s Coming Home ushers in a new era for TDS. The Dangerous Summer never sacrificed their unique, diverse sonic identity, one that appeals to fans of everything from Kings Of Leon and Coldplay to Jimmy Eat World and Bright Eyes. Coming Home is a triumphant summary of what The Dangerous Summer is all about, past, present, and future. -In-store Grade APriority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of Coming Home from us.

Leah Weller Monday 24th October
at Banquet Records, 6:00pm To celebrate the release of her new album titled 'Freedom', Leah Weller visits Kingston to play an in-store set.Freedom – the debut album from Leah Weller – a modern soul soundtrack to her head spinning twenties turning into empowered, contented thirties. Completed last year, Weller’s first complete album follows a decade-long career on catwalks, in front of cameras and making dancefloors shake, constantly on the move and with music as a constant companion. Finding the escape route out of anxiety-inducing mix-and-match career moves with the stability of love, the slowdown of repeated lockdowns and, finally, motherhood, Weller’s race is now to be run at her own pace with a collection of songs set perfectly to her flow.Gathering nine, finely-tailored songs together with a drum beat of support from producer and collaborator, Steve Craddock, the collection speaks, much rather than screams, of finding the sweet spot between the need for hope, however naïve, and the truths that only experience can spell out. -In-store Grade C.Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of 'Freedom' from us. If there's space on the day for more people, we'll let you know!Albums will be posted unless you select 'Collect in Shop' when checking out. CD | LP

at Banquet Records, 6:00pm To celebrate the release of the new album titled 'The Anti Album', Tony Wright visits Kingston to play an in-store set.The latest solo album by Terrorvision front man Tony Wright titled The Anti Album is his most ambitious album yet. The album takes influence from his previous works whilst managing to carve out its own place in Tony’s respectable discography. Tony manages to blend meaningful, melancholic, heartfelt lyrics with unforgettable acoustic perfection in his 3rd solo album. It could be argued that Tony has found his identity in the singer/songwriter genre on this album, the songs feel like an in-depth sequential reflection on the colourful life he has led both in and outside of music. -In-store Grade C.Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of Blush from us.
