Dragged Up:
Formed in Glasgow in 2018, Dragged Up channel off-kilter art punk through a fuzzed-out garage lens, drawing comparisons to The Velvet Underground, Mudhoney, The Slits and C86.
Their debut D/U (2020), Hex Domestic EP (2023) and High On Ripple LP (2024) gained praise from Louder Than War, The Wire, Record Collector, BBC 6 Music and WFMU. They have received support from the likes of Jon Dieterich (Deerhoof), Jim Smith (The Nightingales) and Emmett Kelly whose band, The Hard Quartet, they have been supporting in the EU and UK in 2025. They have just released the singles Blake's Tape and Clachan Dubh:

“It’s an anything goes ethos that is relentlessly captivating. As ever, Dragged Up have boldly followed their creative instincts, free of expectation or outside influence. Songs within songs, moments within moments, forever on the brink of their next minor sonic miracle.’ - Fran Carylon, Heavy Metal Kids
The Chunks:
The Chunks rotate somewhere between pop sludge, dungeon prog and straight up super hero indie rock. The quartet employ rolling, off kilter drumming matched to barely-contained bass hijinx, wandering occasionally detuned guitar chops, cryptic yet intimate vocal stylings and synths flamboyant enough to make Gary Numan blush.
Digital Dust is the fourth album and second released on local tape label Fuzzbat Records from the Chunks, showcasing their most powerful form yet.

Shinlifter:
Shinlifter are the world’s first budgetgroup (like a supergroup but cheaper and held together with duct tape). Their debut double A-side, Percolator/Nandos, highlights the band’s strengths: hypnotic drumming bolted to vocalist Furey's stream-of-consciousness collages of mundanity and guitar freak-outs. “A chaotic rodeo bull ride of a double A-side” SNACK Magazine

Crocodile Tears:
Born in a Dundee basement, Crocodile Tears are a queergaze band brewing chaos and catharsis. Fusing riot grrrl spirit with the ferocity of hardcore, they deliver big daft riffs wrapped in raw emotion, distortion, and defiance.
