Barbican Estate - Night And Day

Barbican Estate announce their second album, Rock Drill, due for release on 6 November 2026 via God Unknown Records. The Tokyo-formed, London-based three-piece have spent the past few years carving out their own space within the UK underground, combining the stark geometry of Brutalism with experimental rock, noise and intensely physical live performance.

Rock Drill sees Barbican Estate pushing that sound further. More experimental and expansive than their previous work, the album stretches the trio’s palette while retaining the raw, confrontational energy that has become central to their live shows. It is a record built around tension and movement — abrasive and playful, dense and spacious, with the band continually pushing against the edges of what three musicians can do together.

Plastic Plant

Plastic Plant is a psych-grunge outfit based between Manchester and London, crafting a sound defined by vivid colour and dynamic contrast - rooted in alternative and psychedelia while branching into pop hooks, jazz/folk inflections, and onstage theatrics. Their music shifts between shared harmonies and alternating lead vocals, set against a backdrop of 12-string jangle, echo-drenched guitar, melodic basslines, driving drum grooves, and frenetic smatterings of tenor saxophone.

Rose Villas

Hebden four-piece Rose Villas are the latest in a line of young indie rock bands to emerge, restless and hungry, from the reverberating wilderness of the Calder Valley. They play a rural northern towns approach to alternative rock and the post punk movement. “crackling with potential.” - Mal Campbell Trades Club Promoter
