Alfie Templeman 16 year-old Bedfordshire songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alfie Templeman is sharing his debut single 'Like An Animal'. Templeman grew up in the tiny village of Carlton, where he still lives with his parents, and recorded 'Like An Animal' entirely in his bedroom out of school hours.
Templeman plays every instrument heard on the EP and put together the whole release in his bedroom - a homage to his DIY heroes Kevin Parker and Mac Demarco.
Weird Milk Weird Milk's musical odyssey began in the English countryside before graduating to the city. Charlie Glover-Wright, Zach Campbell, Alex Griffiths and Joe 'Blue' Moyle are distinguished by their vocal harmonies and 60s influences. Crafting their tunes with multiple layers of harmony and melody, the result is a sound which is vibrant and instantly accessible. Echoes of The Beach Boys, Harry Nilsson and The Beatles mix with more contemporary influences such as The Strokes and Frank Ocean create unique songs of emotive depth demanding a further listen.
With high praise following the release of previous single's Anything You Want and Honey, I'm Around buzzing across the BBC Radio 1 /6 Music airwaves (Annie Mac, Jack Saunders, Steve Lamacq) and throughout the tastemaker community (NME, The Line Of Best Fit, So Young), the baroque pop quartet’s status amongst the emerging indie elite continues to grow significantly.
Sara Having just released their stunning debut single 'Little Nerves', Sara will be opening this show for us. Taking inspiration from artists like Frank Ocean, Sufjan Steven's and Bon Iver, Sara’s music is inherently melodic, but she utilizes unusual arrangements and displays of lyrical vulnerability, touching on themes of mental health, loneliness and sexuality. The single has had strong support from BBC Introducing 3 Counties as well as Radio X, with 2020 set to be a big year for the Hemel Hemstead native - make sure you make it in for their set!
