***SNAKES***
In 2025, (appropriately the Chinese year of the Snake), *Snakes* released the exquisite songs which comprise their second album, ‘Expo’. Ranging from intelligent power pop to sophisticated dream pop, Expo is a genre defying, timeless album informed by a vast range of influences, crackling with neurological electrical storms, conflicting emotions and, if you get too close, venom. The band has been growing its fan base thanks to gigging regularly in London and has begun work on album three which promises another evolution in sound. Here’s your chance to catch them in a rare home-town appearance where they will be previewing some of their new material and also belting out some well loved bangers from the first two albums.
***KOYO BLOOM***
**Koyo Bloom**, formerly known as KOYO, are a rock band, incorporating elements of alternative, psychedelic and progressive rock. Alumni of Leeds Conservatoire, they are a major factor in the city’s burgeoning music scene.
Barely six months after closing out the Onism tour and showing no signs of slowing down, the band is set to unveil their fourth record, Distance, arriving Spring 2026. Koyo Bloom are Huw Robert Edwards (lead vocals, guitar), Jacob Price (sampling, synthesisers), Layth Ibrahim (bass) and Tom Higham (drums).
