About this Event

Headclouds (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne)



'Debut single "Flowers" finds guitars drenched in a haze of drifting reverb and swirling synthesizers. A laid-back slice of mid-summer indie pop' - The Line Of Best Fit



'All shimmering melodies, reverb-laden guitars and euphoric harmonies, it's burst of Vitamin D that's still laced with just a tiny bit of melancholia' - DIY



'I hear bands every week that try to do the jangly, mid summer-pop vibe... Headclouds are well above the lot of them' - Phil Taggart, BBC Radio 1



Newcastle-based Headclouds released their hazy debut ‘Flowers’ in August of this year, picking up plays on Radio 1, 6 Music and Amazing Radio..

The lead single from their forthcoming EP ‘Pure Honey’, the track displays their expansive, dream pop-inspired sound in full definition.

Having already supported the likes of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Vant, Ulrika Spacek, The Big Moon and Frightened Rabbit, the band are now preparing for a year's worth of releases.

Alex Chilltown (London)



"catchy as hell odes for the terminally underwhelmed" - Noisey



"At once unusual, confusing and very good." - The Sound Of Confusion.



"minimal, melancholy stuff that sounds gentle and noisy all at once." Stereogum



"like being drunk in the day time. In a good way, when it feels like your own little secret, rather than a worrying concern. What we mean to say is; THIS IS GREAT" Gold Flake Paint.



"Softly sung harmonies drift over guitars which alternate between distorted and melodic; an effect which makes us think of a certain other Alex who seems to be doing ok these days." Art is Hard Records



"Definitely a band you need to put on your 'to see' list" - Gutless 'Zine



Alex Chilltown began as a tongue in cheek titled bedroom project in 2013. The current incarnation of the bands self style boredxcore came together after a stolen wallet lead to a chance meeting at what was probably a haunted house in Clapham. The members bonded over a mutual love of DIY sad punk,pop bangers and problematic eras of Pro Wrestling. slightly nerdy, slightly awks but v. enthusiastic, aware of how fucking stupid it all is but we do it anyway cos we have to.

Current EP 'Eaten Up By Nothing' was released on Witchgirl Recordings at the stat of 2017.
