Admission will be via order number, please bring yours to the shop. Albums will be posted outTo celebrate the release of the new album 'It's Just My Opinion', GIRLI visits Kingston to play an in-store set.The upcoming album is sharp, cohesive, and rooted in who she's always been. Growing up in North London, she absorbed the chaos and hooks of the indie sleaze scene, and now she channels that restless energy into songs that feel alive, pulsing like a sweaty gig in Camden or Shoreditch. It's classic girli alt-pop -- nostalgic, chaotic, and fearless, but sharpened with a bold new edge.girli has been teasing the new era since the end of 2025, sharing 'Better Undressed' and the powerful recent single 'Slap on the Wrist'. Known for her shimmering, high- concept production and fearless commentary, girli now pivots toward a more grounded, girl-next- door energy, trading gloss for grit, and polish for raw, intimate expression.Since emerging with her breakthrough sophomore album, 'Matriarchy', girli has carved a space in the alternative scene for bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. Her ability to merge pop essence with underground energy has earned her a tight- knit and dedicated fanbase.As an openly LGBTQ+ artist and advocate for social change, girli continues to intertwine her personal journey with broader cultural conversations. Her past work has touched on themes of identity, politics, mental health, and more - and this new chapter builds on that same spirit of activism, but through a softer, more human lens.-Performance expected to start shortly after time shown.Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of 'It's Just My Opinion' from us.

Sweet Pill
Saturday 20th June
at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
To celebrate the release of ''Still There's a Glow', Sweet Pill visits Kingston to play an in-store set.Sweet Pill’s sophomore album, Still There’s a Glow, is a resilient response to the mounting pressures following their breakout debut, Where The Heart Is. Facing exhaustion, the band scrapped early demos to prioritize mental health, ultimately crafting a raw document of self-reflection that vocalist Zayna Youssef calls “the hardest thing I’ve had to do.”Marking a significant evolution in their creative dynamic, the new album is the first written fully as a collaborative unit by Youssef, guitarists Jayce Williams and Sean McCall, bassist Ryan Cullen, & drummer Chris Kearney. Recorded at Gradwell House with longtime producers Matt Weber & Dave Downham, the record aims to bottle the kinetic energy of their live shows—performances that have earned them endorsements from stars like Hayley Williams and Doja Cat. The resulting sound is an elevated mix of math-rock intricacy, urgent punk, and heartfelt emo.In support of the album, Sweet Pill will embark on a global tour, headlining clubs and performing at festivals. As a woman of color in the alternative scene, Youssef hopes the album and tour will foster a judgment-free community for fans. Still, There’s a Glow stands as proof of the band’s survival and growth, inviting listeners to find their own light at the end of the tunnel.-Performance expected to start shortly after time shown.Admission will be via order number - please bring yours to the shop.Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of 'Still There's a Glow' from us.
