Spearmint, Lilith Ai, Tomboy Grandpa

**SPEARMINT**

London’s enduring indie-pop architects have been crafting songs full of wistful, melodic storytelling across 30 years. Their self-run label hitBACK fuels a DIY ethos, yielding 10 albums rich in narrative depth and sonic curiosity. The 1999 debut A Week Away fused Northern Soul samples with bittersweet vignettes like "A Trip Into Space" (sampling Dobie Gray’s "Out on the Floor"), while 2001’s orchestral concept album A Different Lifetime wove spoken word into disco strings.

Their uncompromising ethos earned a shoutout from Joseph Gordon Levitt in (500) Days of Summer and a 2023 MOJO Top 100 spot (#53) for This Candle Is For You proves they're still making amazing music. Expect three decades of sharp lyricism and wistful melodies.

**LILITH AI**

Raw queer feminist fire meets folk-punk urgency. As Loud Women Fest’s 2024 Hercury Prize winner, her anthems like "Riot" and "Rude Grrrl" channel dissent into shout-along hooks, dissecting city life with visceral clarity.

Hailed by NYLON as vital to feminism’s "new wave," her album Folk You Hard is a manifesto in action.

**TOMBOY GRANDPA**

Essential twee indie band Tomboy Grandpa have been creating scrappy symphonies about gender, romance, & being bent in a straight world since 2024. With members from DIY stolwarts like WOLF GIRL, Fightmilk & Linus, expect well crafted queer tunes, that will have you dancing in the crowd!
