Alien Chicks
Regular Music presents:
Alien Chicks are a dynamic post-punk trio hailing from the streets of South London. Known for their electrifying blend of rap, jazz, and punk, the band has quickly become a fixture in the local music scene. The line-up features the vocals and sharp guitar work of Josef Lindsay, the pulsating basslines of Stefan Parker-Steele, and the explosive drumming of Martha Daniels. Together, they create a sound that is both raw and innovative, capturing the spirit of London’s underground music culture
The band’s journey began in grassroots venues across the city, in particular The Windmill, Brixton. They have combined relentless gigging with their high-energy performances to build a loyal following in the UK and Europe. With highlights including supports with renowned acts such as Big Special, Fat Dog, English Teacher, The Blinders, and Opus Kink, sold out headlines at The Lexington and 100 Club and people queuing to see them at showcase festivals like Mutations, Left of the Dial and The Great Escape.
July marked a significant milestone for the band with the release of their debut EP ‘Indulging The Mobs’ (released on SO Recordings x Hideous Mink), a project that captures the frenetic energy and genre-blending creativity of their live shows. Their rise has not been limited to London alone; they’ve also made waves across the UK and Europe, whilst also sharing stages with renowned acts such as Fat Dog, English Teacher, The Blinders, and Opus Kink.
Alien Chicks’ music is a testament to their diverse influences and fearless approach to genre. Whether delivering rapid-fire rap verses, intricate jazz-inspired bass riffs, or thunderous punk rhythms, they continue to push boundaries and defy expectations. As they prepare to take their electrifying live shows to even larger audiences, Alien Chicks are undoubtedly a band to watch in the coming years.

Riley Pearce
Regular Music presents..
Riley Pearce has always chronicled major moments via his music, threading his experiences into the fabric of a sonic patchwork of indie, alternative, and folk. Thus far, he has generated hundreds of millions of streams and views, and garnered acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Atwood Magazine, and many more. Now, he examines the most significant season of his life – parenthood – on his 2024 album, It’s Your Turn Now [Nettwerk Music Group].
Riley started to project his life through music on the 2016 debut EP, Outside the Lines. Standout “Brave” gathered north of 53 million Spotify streams and surged through popular culture via placements everywhere from Shameless and Maxton Hall to The Rookie. 2018’s Eastbound EP yielded the fan favourite “Elephants,” amassing over 13.9 million Spotify streams. In between projects such as The Landing Songs, Acoustic, Maybe I Can Sleep it Off, and Love and All That Stuff, he graced the stages of festivals around the world including Latitude (UK) and PinkPop (Netherlands).
In 2022, he took flight on his debut LP, The Water & The Rough, inciting tastemaker applause, Atwood Magazine hailed it as “a magnificent album of raw alt-folk warmth and intimate connection.” Throughout 2023, he crafted what would become It’s Your Turn Now in his home studio alongside collaborator Andy Lawson. As much as he absorbed inspiration from the likes of Toledo, Day Wave, Flights, Dijon, and Jeff Tweedy, marriage and fatherhood made the deepest imprint on his creative process. By speaking so openly about his world, Riley might just help you understand yours a little better.
Fresh off the back of supporting Canadian band Wild Rivers and impressing audiences through Europe & UK, Riley Pearce heads out on his own tour for a do-not-miss set of intimate shows.

Paranoid London

Referencing instead its gay, black, American roots. Taking the underground overground. Knocking out not hands-in-the-air anthems, but rough, rude, raw jack. Not safe, slick, or soulless, but joints purposely over-driven, distorted, and full of tape hiss.
