The Beak trio, formed by Geoff Barrow (member of Portishead), Billy Fuller (Robert Plant’s Sensational Space Shifters), and Will Young, writes timeless music combining cosmic repetition, hypnotic vocals, and brittle rock. Their concerts take the form of ecstatic pagan ceremonies.

Lankum is one of the great revelations of the Irish rock scene. Hailing from Dublin, the band combines Irish roots, folk music, and hardcore punk electricity. A veritable musical and cultural phenomenon, the band is the worthy heir to Crass, Swans, and the Pogues.

For her latest album Great Doubt, she changes direction with a foray into progressive song, where devastating emotion and existential doubts leave it to the music to fill in the gaps.
