 |Band of THE WEEK|

Shark School

This week's Band of the Week is Galway garage-punk trio Shark School - who have just released their debut album 'Selachimorpha'.

Formed in Galway in 2023 by Nora Staunton (guitar/vocals), Peggy Ford (bass) and Meg Bruce (drums), Shark School have rapidly become one of the most talked-about underground bands in Ireland. Their sound collides garage punk, riotous indie rock and abrasive noise into something that feels simultaneously cathartic and chaotic; often compared to the collision of Wet Leg and Nirvana raised on Catholic guilt and feminist fury.She took a moment to talk to us about how the album came together.

|LIFE|

Alternative Hull four-piece LIFE have just released their fourth studio album ABSTRACT / NATURAL via EMI North label partner Launchpad+.

An adventurous body of work that showcases the band at their most ambitious and experimental, it’s a collection that draws on folklore, mythology and the natural world, unified by the lived experiences and stories that weave in and out from beginning to end.

 |RELEASE OF THE WEEK|

There comes a point in the career of every great rock band when confidence replaces ambition. Not because the desire to push forward disappears, but because the need to prove oneself finally fades away. On Dear God, their fifth studio album, The Pretty Reckless sound like a band that has arrived at exactly that moment.

|Cara Delevingne|

Cara Delevingne arrives at her musical debut not as a tentative crossover novelty, but with the kind of conceptual clarity and aesthetic ambition that suggests a long-considered second language finally spoken aloud.
