Out today! 🤖 Narrated by automatons in a near-future synthetic age, the second #PinkOpaque single 'Bringing Back The Humans' brings with it a fantastic vocal, a super-catchy chorus, a wry critique of the AI industry, and a wibbly Stylophone theremin 👇 pinkopaque.bandcamp.com/track/bringi...

Even more stoked about this now. Big Other's recent single rules and I'm glad we're getting to put them on. Fortitude Valley's new stuff is also amazing and Precious Metals are my favourite current Sheffield band, so this will be a fun night. You should buy a ticket. linktr.ee/mmissheffield

We are SUPER EXCITES to add BIG OTHER to the line-up for our next show with @fortitudevalley.bsky.social 💖 Inspired by Sonic Youth, Pixies and Veruca Salt, they've been described as "screeching and sprawling" and "a gripping wall of sound". Remember Laurie Hulme from Songs For Walter? It's him! 💖

Oooh! New mini album from one of our favourite Sheffield bands Precious Metals (don't think they're on Bluesky yet): preciousmetalheads.bandcamp.com/album/stay-p...

not sharing any form of spotify wrapped because it’s shiny stat-washing the fact the company is garbage and their entire business model essentially amounts to theft. not to mention that their CEO has invested 10s of $millions of their profit in arms companies. and don’t make me tap the Bors cartoon

All that's missing is the can crusher!

Wasn't aware of any starter packs for indiepop/DIY pop type stuff, so we started one go.bsky.app/7q5K8Xi Want adding? Reply!
