SUMMARY:Male Tears + Death Drive + Strange Futures
DESCRIPTION:Male Tears (US) is a Los Angeles-based three-piece weirdo-pop and dark synth project led by singer-songwriter James Edward. Formed in the aftermath of the pandemic\, the band has quickly become a standout name in the modern darkwave and synth-pop underground\, known for blending camp aesthetics\, sharp emotional flair\, and dance-floor melancholy. \n\n\n\nThe group first gained attention with their 2021 self-titled debut album\, now considered a cult favorite for its fusion of glittery synth-pop nostalgia and melodramatic\, tongue-in-cheek songwriting. They followed with Trauma Club (2021) and KRYPT (2023)\, a deeper dive into shadowy club textures and romantic gloom that solidified their position within the alternative electronic scene. \n\n\n\nTheir latest full-length\, Paradísco (2024)\, marks a bold turn toward italo-disco\, hi-NRG\, and neon-soaked pop maximalism. Bursting with energy\, hooks\, and theatrical flair\, Paradísco showcases Male Tears at their most confident and expansive. \n\n\n\nMale Tears is currently preparing their new studio album\, set for release in 2026 on Artoffact Records\, with the first single landing in early 2026. The upcoming era promises a further evolution of their hybrid of darkwave\, synth-pop\, and camp-infused performance art. \n\n\n\nOnstage\, Male Tears deliver highly stylized\, emotionally charged shows with striking visuals\, bold makeup\, and infectious energy – an experience that resonates across goth\, queer\, synth\, and alternative music communities.

SUMMARY:IST IST + TBC
DESCRIPTION:Manchester’s IST IST return with their fifth studio album ‘DAGGER’ – the follow-up to 2024’s ‘Light A Bigger Fire’ which charted at number 25 in the UK\, breaking them into the Top 40 for the first time.  \n\n\n\nOnce again collaborating with producer Joseph Cross (Hurts\, Lana Del Rey\, Courteeners) the record finds the band returning to their electronic-infused post-punk roots after making a leap into more mainstream sensibilities last time out.  \n\n\n\nOver their decade as a band so far\, IST IST have forged a formidable reputation on word of mouth excitement\, amassing a dedicated cult following in the process. Operating with a fierce DIY work ethic\, the band have an ever-growing back catalogue of successful studio and live releases. Self-releasing their entire repertoire through their own Kind Violence Records label\, the band’s output has been championed by BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6Music\, Radio X\, XS Manchester\, KINK FM in the Netherlands\, The Times and more.  \n\n\n\nRiding the success of the last record into 2025\, IST IST returned to Europe for further dates and subsequently released two live albums ‘ON FIRE’ and ‘Live in Italy’.  \n\n\n\nThe band head back to Europe again in October for six shows in Italy and the Netherlands\, before playing UK for shows in Leeds\, Glasgow\, London and Birmingham to conclude the year. The band have also just announced a hometown show at the 2\,200 capacity Albert Hall in their home city of Manchester\, which will conclude the ‘DAGGER’ tour.
