Featured Album this Month
Story Mode
Kwazi levels up with STORY MODE, a focused and confident project that blends sharp lyricism with clean, modern production. The EP feels intentional — reflective without losing energy — as Kwazi moves between personal narrative and forward-facing ambition. It’s a statement of growth from one of Bristol’s most consistent independent voices, backed by strong local support and a buzzing release show. Polished, purposeful and rooted in the city, STORY MODE earns its place as Album of the Month.
Trending Artists This Month
Grove
Grove is trending following the release of the Hydra album — a politically charged, bass-heavy statement that’s been turning heads both locally and nationally. Singles like “Babylon Rotten” highlight their ability to fuse punk urgency with club-ready electronics, while their live reputation continues to grow. Momentum is building fast.
Peach
Peach are trending thanks to the release of “Unhappy People”, a brooding indie cut that’s been gaining traction across streaming and local playlists. New album 'Only Love' will be released mid-March. Combined with steady live appearances and tightening songwriting, the band are carving out a distinct lane in Bristol’s alternative scene.
Digsby
Digsby is trending and promoting the Death of the Party album, a bold step forward that showcases their evolution beyond standalone singles. Tracks like “Bugging Out” highlight their gritty, high-energy style, and the album’s release has sparked renewed interest across the city’s live circuit.
Kwazi
One of Bristol rap’s brightest young stars, Kwazi bids adieu to the community space that’s done more to prop him up than anyone. Low-slung trapstar 808s, anime-toting lyrics and laidback boom bap flow + the usual 395 antics to end things on a high. End of an era stuff FFO: Novelist, Dave, Jay Prince, BENJI."
