Acres process universal struggles, raw emotion, and life’s trials and tribulations through an unpredictable and undeniable hybrid of insurgently catchy melodies, neck-breaking grooves, and disarmingly seductive soundscapes. Audiences initially fell under the UK band’s spell in 2019 when they unveiled the fan favorite Lonely World. After grinding on the road, they made significant strides with 2023’s Burning Throne. “My Everything” reeled in 2.6 million Spotify streams followed by “Hold On” with another 2 million Spotify streams. KERRANG! applauded how, “Acres display their potential with some big choruses to match,” and WHEN THE HORN BLOWS hailed Burning Throne as “a classic metalcore album filled with swinging hooks, rough riffs, popping electronic elements and lovely vocals that turn into monster screams.” In 2025, the rapidly rising quartet—Ben Lumber, Alex Freeman, Jack Rogers, Ash Scott—rally around a spirit of sonic evolution on their third full-length album, The Host [Solid State]. Working with The Plot In You frontman Landon Tewers behind the board as producer, the band creatively level up as they deliver a caustic, catchy, and conceptual body of work primed to provoke thought and feeling in equal measure. This era begins with the single “Bloodlust” and much more to come.

Support Added 🍂 @Hailaker now set to join @ExploringBirdsong as they bring their spellbinding alt-pop sound to @Islington_AH, Thursday 24 September 2026.

Exploring Birdsong are stepping into a new era with their stunning new single ‘Romanticise’. The alt-pop trio, centred on Lynsey Ward’s stunning vocals, showcase a richer and more expansive element with their newest effort – a mature evolution from the organic rawness of their piano-led roots.

Despite the shift in sound first signalled with the acclaimed 2024 singles The Collapse, Weight in Gold, All I Lack, and Stitch, the three-piece haven’t sacrificed any of the emotional intimacy or genre-blending beauty that sets them apart. The voice of Lynsey Ward (also of Espera), mixed with the talents of Jonny Knight (bass & keyboards) and Matt Harrison (drums) help forge a truly unique approach to songwriting and modern heavy music.

Catching the ears of fans worldwide, Exploring Birdsong will perform two headline shows at London’s famed St Pancras Old Church on November 5th and 6th – gigs which sold out in a matter of minutes. The dates follow the trio’s two 2024 headline showcases in Manchester and London, also both sold out.

Previously the band have supported Katatonia and Sleep Token as well as a main stage appearance at RADAR and Euroblast festival. Straddling pop, progressive rock and uncategorisable genre-blending beauty, the band are mostly unplaceable, but Romanticise suggests flashes of Everything Everything’s inventiveness, the dramatic flair of Kate Bush, and the synth-heavy intensity of Enter Shikari – whilst remaining uniquely Exploring Birdsong.

On Sale Now 💧 Boundary-pushing artist @KidBookie returns, intimate and exclusive, joined by ROLLA 13, live at @lowerthirdsoho, next Friday 22 May.

🎟️ @DiceFM

Boundary-pushing artist KID BOOKIE returns with the explosive new single “Blame”, featuring Corey Taylor, marking the latest chapter in a fearless new era for the genre-defying artist.

Following the cultural impact of his previous single “Rose McGowan” featuring Rose McGowan, Kid Bookie continues to blur the boundaries between music, art, and activism. The track marked McGowan’s first musical collaboration in years and quickly became a talking point across both music and film communities, praised for its raw energy and symbolic weight as two uncompromising voices collided creatively.

Now, with “Blame,” Kid Bookie pushes even further into emotional and sonic territory. The track sees him reconnect with long-time collaborator Corey Taylor, the iconic frontman of Slipknot and Stone Sour,delivering a searing exploration of accountability, growth, and self-reflection.

Their creative partnership spans nearly a decade, but “Blame” represents something deeper: a moment of evolution for both artists as they strip back ego and confront personal truths through music.

“Blame” signals the arrival of a newly confident Kid Bookie, an artist fully embracing vulnerability while doubling down on the intensity that has defined his career. It’s raw, emotional, and cathartic: a sonic collision between two artists unafraid to examine themselves in public.

The single also sets the stage for Kid Bookie’s forthcoming album, scheduled for release later this year (more on that soon…). The project promises to expand on the fearless experimentation and emotional honesty that has made Kid Bookie one of the most unpredictable voices in alternative music today.With “Blame,” Kid Bookie once again proves that the most powerful art often comes from the most uncomfortable truths — and that his new era is only just beginning.

Featured 🤘 Welcoming pagan fantasy folk @DeloraineOfficial, live at @Islington_AH, Monday 26th October - expect pagan dances, mysterious rituals, and endless energy.

Get Tickets 🎟️ ba-concerts.com

DELORAINE masterfully blends the powerful vocals of charismatic singers with the rich sound of a wide range of ethnic and exotic instruments. This is more than just a concert – their performance is a ritual and a musical journey through worlds inspired by fantasy, Celtic mythology, Norse sagas, and ancient Slavic legends.

DELORAINE have released two albums, Vlaštovka (Swallow Bird) and Srdce z kamene (The Heart of Stone), both of which were named album of the week on the biggest Czech music portal musicserver.cz, and several singles, including two music videos made for the popular game Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The single Sabat also won two awards by Celtcast for the best music video and the best song of 2023, followed up by similar success of the single Odin, Lord of the Ravens, which won 3 Celtcast awards.

DELORAINE performed at festivals like Wave Gotik Treffen (DE), Hornerfest (DE), Feuertanz (DE), Cernunnos fest (FR), Echos et Merveilles (FR) Kilkim Zaibu (LT), or Trolls&Légendes (BE).

The band repeatedly sold out many of their club and open-air shows and regularly appears at major Czech festivals such as Celtic Night, Lughnasad in Nasavrky, or various Witcher and fantasy festivals.

DELORAINE have also performed with contemporary Pagan Folk icons such as HEILUNG, FAUN, EIVØR, PERCIVAL, KORPIKLAANI, GARMARNA, CORVUS CORAX, SUBWAY TO SALLY and many others.

DELORAINE are currently playing a wide range of events, from open-air festivals and municipal celebrations to well-attended club events and Metal gigs. Even there, they excel with their acoustic but cutting music. They’ll impress in a short festival set and are just as happy to play a full-length gig because they’re tireless on stage and music is their mission.
