This London-based art-punk band has quickly gained recognition for their electrifying live performances and clever lyricism, earning accolades from notable publications like The Line Of Best Fit and The Guardian, which commented on their distinct ability to blend energetic chaos with thoughtful lyrics.
To celebrate the album announcement, the band has shared their new single “Nosedive,” a pulsating track that showcases their evolution since the release of their debut EP. “Nosedive” features a dynamic fusion of synth-led music and art-punk influences, creating a sound that resonates with fans of bands like LCD Soundsystem.

The pre-order links are now open, allowing fans to secure their copies ahead of the release.
The lead vocalist, Emmie-Mae, describes “Nosedive” as a metaphorical exploration of longing for comfort and freedom in relationships, embedded in a catchy, danceable tune. This blend of emotional depth with rhythmic energy is a hallmark of the band’s sound, as they strive to tackle complex themes while keeping the music compelling and accessible.
Formed at the tender age of 16, the six-piece has cemented their place in the burgeoning British music scene with sold-out shows, including a notable performance at Austin’s SXSW festival earlier this year. Their relentless touring and passionate performances have helped them cultivate a dedicated following, setting the stage for the highly anticipated debut album.
“Cannonball” comprises 11 tracks that promise to encapsulate the range of emotions and experiences typical of the band’s early adulthood. With unconventional song structures and punchy choruses, the album seeks to combine spontaneity with artistic clarity, highlighting the band’s commitment to impactful songwriting. This unique approach to music-making positions them as one of London’s most exciting up-and-coming acts.
