Hunny
Friday 28th February at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
Whilst in the UK for a support tour, Hunny stop by the shop to play an in-store set.
The debut full length album from the awesome California indie-punks is titled 'Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.', produced the by the Grammy-Award winning Carlos De La Garza (Cheerry Glazerr, Paramore, Culture Abuse).
Inspired by their love for ‘80s new wave and ‘90s pop, Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. is an endless back-and-forth between heavy-hearted lyrics and bright-and-shiny melodies, lovesick confession, and addictively dancey rhythms. With the album centered on a narrative Yarger sums up as “I love you and I want to die,” HUNNY wrote most of the songs on acoustic guitar, deliberately channeling a raw vulnerability into every line.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. embodies the wildly frenetic energy of HUNNY’s live show. As Grimmett explains, the band introduced that element with their ever-communal live show in mind. “We really love the emotive aspect of playing a show. For this record, we really took the time to think about what we were going to give them to sing, and made sure that it’s something with real feeling and meaning to it.”
In-store Grade B.
Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. from us.

Dr Rubberfunk
Saturday 29th February at Banquet Records, 4:00pm
Following the release of his new full length album titled My Life At 45, the awesome Dr Rubberfunk stops by the shop for a Saturday afternoon set.
Having established himself in funk, soul, blues and jazz circles with a ton of high calibre releases, the good doctor holds a reputation for quality productions, with a hands-on approach, both in front of, and behind the mixing desk, as an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and producer.
The new album brings together stunning vocals from John Turrell, Izo FitzRoy and Stephanie Whitelock, whilst the instrumental tracks, showcasing the talents of long-time collaborators Jim Oliver, Jonathan James and Ben Castle, make it clear just what a crack production outfit the Doctor has put together.
In-store Grade C.
Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of My Life At 45 from us.

Following the release of their new album, Spanish Love Songs visit the shop for a lunch time set.
Their second full length album, titled Brave Faces Everyone, follows on from their triumphant 2017 debut Schmaltz, seeing them offer up another dose of their anthemic indie-punk mixed with some heartstring-tugging emo influences. Fans of The Menzingers, Tigers Jaw and The Hotelier should be checking this band out.
"This album is us honing in on what we think makes our band resonate with people — namely, the feeling that you're not alone. These are songs about looking outward and finding that, for all our differences, most of us are just trying to get by as the world is going to hell around us.
"We don’t have any grand ambitions beyond that — we just want people to feel acknowledged. There’s comfort in knowing we’re on the same sinking ship. We want the album to be a knowing nod and a way to make the world a slightly more bearable, even if it’s just for 40 minutes."
Tickets are for collection from our shop on the day of the in-store, please bring your order number with you. Albums will be posted unless you select 'Collect In Shop' when checking out.

Circa Waves
Thursday 12th March at Pryzm, 7:00pm
Update 10th March, 10:00am - any "posted" tickets ordered from this point are for collection at the venue. Please bring your order number with you. The night before their new record is released, Circa Waves play in Kingston. The New Slang regulars return again in celebration of their fourth full length album titled Sad Happy, following on from 2019's What's It Like Over There. Expect another excellent offering of their dynamic and anthemic indie-rock driven tunes. An album of our times, ‘Sad Happy’ is formed of two diametrically distinctive sides – the first half of the record contains the Happy tracks, the latter the Sad tracks. Lead single ‘Jacqueline’ is unveiled today as the first taste of ‘Sad Happy’. Listen here. An infectious, Soweto flavoured groove, ‘Jacqueline’ is another bold slice of bright, life-affirming pop from the pen of Kieran Shudall, who is establishing himself as one of Britain’s most prolific young songwriters. With it’s infectious chorus and refrain of ‘Good times are coming around the bend’, Jacqueline is at once instantly recognisable and also another bold sonic leap forward for Circa Waves. It’s a song that’ll sit effortlessly amongst a setlist already brimming with anthems. Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with Circa Waves on stage at 8:00pm CD/ticket is £16 post-paid, and other formats and combos are available. Albums and tickets will be posted separately, the album is released 13th March. If you select Collect In-store, both album and tickets will have to be picked up from the shop but you can't get the album before the release date. Pryzm is all ages for this show - under 14s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult (18+). Over 18s should bring PHOTO ID (driving license / passport).
