We Came From Wolves are an alternative rock band from Perth, Scotland, known for their emotionally charged songwriting, melodic riffs, and powerful live performances. Blending elements of emo, post-rock, and alt-rock, their sound draws comparisons to the likes of Brand New, Finch, and Biffy Clyro.
Fronted by singer and guitarist Kyle Burgess, the band formed in the early 2010s and quickly built a reputation through relentless touring, playing over six UK tours, two European runs, and major venues like King Tut’s, Oran Mor, and the O₂ ABC. Their debut EP Cope gained national attention with airplay on BBC Radio 1, and their follow-up EP Paradise Place earned praise from outlets like Rock Sound and XFM. In 2015, they released their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, produced by Bruce Rintoul, and went on to win the Scottish Alternative Music Award for Best Rock/Alternative Act.
Known for tackling raw themes such as grief, fear, and vulnerability with sincerity, We Came From Wolves have solidified themselves as one of Scotland’s most heartfelt and dynamic alternative rock acts.
Fragile Animals are a dreamy indie-rock and shoegaze band from the Brisbane/Sunshine Coast area of Australia, known for their lush, melancholic sound and emotionally immersive songwriting. Described as “your gloomy pals,” their music blends shimmering guitar textures, layered soundscapes, and introspective lyrics that explore themes of longing and emotional distance.
Fronted by vocalist and bassist Victoria Jenkins, alongside guitarist Daniel Parkinson, guitarist Melinda Huurdeman, and drummer Dylan Stewart, the band rose to prominence as a triple j Unearthed Feature Artist and built a strong reputation through their intense live shows, including performances at Big Pineapple Festival and support slots for acts like Violent Soho, Cub Sport, Dune Rats, and Flyying Colours.
With poetic reflections, rich production, and an atmosphere reminiscent of Wolf Alice and Phoebe Bridgers, Fragile Animals continue to craft music that feels both intimate and expansive.
Collectors are an indie band hailing from Preston, UK, known for their emotive, guitar-driven compositions and intimate live performances. They've recently released singles like “Spectre” and “I Don’t Want to Leave,” showcasing their knack for melodic hooks and heartfelt lyricism. Their music videos, created in collaboration with filmmakers like lokifilms7, reflect a cinematic sensibility and artistic ambition.
With a growing presence both online and on stage, Collectors are steadily building momentum through authentic connection with their audience and a clear vision for their sound. Emerging from the vibrant Preston music scene, they’re carving out a niche with their indie-pop/rock fusion and emotionally resonant songwriting; an exciting new voice worth keeping an eye on.
