Dear Leo, do you still have my Valentine? I sent it to you in 1998. I bought it in Ealing Broadway hallmark.

Formed via another musical project on the vibrant Montreal music scene, Pottery are the most energetic band to come out of 2020. This week, we sat down with keyboardist, Mr Peter Baylis.

We were lucky enough to chat to TEOTFW writer, Charlie Covell, who shares her favourite moments of the series and gives us a wonderful list of shows to binge next…

The five-piece were recently included in NME’s prestigious annual artist round-up and I can confidently say that 2021 is going to be the year of Gustaf.

My job was administering COVID-19 vaccines in the midst of a global pandemic. No embracing, no toasts and the sort of drugs we were shotting are actually good for you...

Not many bands can say they’ve played fake weddings and multiple lockdown gigs in the UK and Paris, so naturally we had to check in with Sourface.

The most invasive sentence to be uttered at nine in the morning: ‘you were in my dream last night.’ Oh no, what was that little perverted version of me up to this time?

2020 will be a year for the history books, but we’re sure you all know that by now. Luckily, music has been the beacon of light guiding us through what can only be described as a trainwreck shitstorm (and in the words of Leslie Jones, that’s offensive to shit and trains).

Last year, I wrote a piece for Last Bus called ‘5 New Year’s Eves You Will Experience in your Teens and Twenties’. I spoke of chaotic house parties and long, drunken queues outside of crowded nightclubs. Imagine that! 

Indie pop artist ella jane may only be nineteen, but her effortlessly ethereal vocals are catching the attention of many.

An ode to the big smoke, the ridiculously appealing grooves and lamenting lyrics of London, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down perfectly capture the love/hate relationship with the gentrifying London we’ve all come to accept.

YES, she has shot some of the coolest bands around (The Orielles, Confidence Man, HINDS, Dream Wife, The Ninth Wave...) but artists-aside, it’s Neelam’s eye that caught our attention.

Having only released her debut single just over a year ago, (which now has almost 2 million Spotify plays) Man is on a rapid trajectory. She’s signed to Columbia Records, supported Beabadoobee and has garnered almost 215,000 monthly Spotify listeners.

Khartoum recently released their latest single, the electric ‘New Cold War’, which they debuted at the Extinction Rebellion Marble Arch Blockade back in 2019. We met up with the band and spent a day exploring Notting Hill…
