 CERTAIN RATIO (Manchester) Legendary post punky new wavey avant funk outfi
 t\, a standout of the early Factory records scene bringing in The Pop Grou
 p\, Pere Ubu and Brian Eno influences alongside more leftfield luminaries 
 such as Hermeto Pascoal and Flora Purim to great effect. 48 years in\, the
 y’re constantly striding forward\, with 13 studio albums (On Factory\, A
 &M\, Mute etc)\, 33 singles etc there’s no sign of respite. Genuinely ho
 noured to have them as part of this year’s JT Fest..BIS (Glasgow)It’s 
 1996\, 9 year old Phil is watching Top Of The Pops.. Peter Andre\, Gary Ne
 wman\, Take That and…..BIS!!! I’d never heard anything like it.. Liste
 ning to em now still hits the same way.. The Joyous\, driving\, synthy ind
 ie britpopping Power Puff Girl soundtracking Scots have since 1994 release
 d 6 albums\, slews of EPs and toured the world over\, playing with Foo Fig
 hters\, Garbage\, Pavement\, Gary Newman etc.. Amy saw em at Bearded Theor
 y last year (John was wearing his JT Soar tee\, aww)\, a definite highligh
 t. DELIVERY (Melbourne\, Australia)Driving garage post punk from the place
  that does it best! From winning SXSW and touring with Franz Ferdinand to 
 selling out JT Soar twice on the trot\, they really are a force majeure. S
 tunning LPs/EPs on Feel It\, Anti Fade\, Heavenly… just doozy after dooz
 y. Henry Rollins is a fan\, nuff said. THE KLITTENS (The Netherlands)Dutch
  fuzzy indie rockin art poppin quintet featuring members of Lewsberg\, Rea
 l Farmer\, The Hobknobs etc.. with inspirations listed as wide as The Rone
 ttes\, MF Doom\, Dry Cleaning and Kate Bush. I hear Pavement\, Breeders\, 
 Yo La Tengo\, Grass Widow etc too\, such a solid mix. After selling out JT
  proper a couple of times\, so chuffed to have em at JT Fest. THE RETAIL S
 IMPS (Montreal\, Canada)Theee/Thine/Tha/The Educated Fools\, different nam
 es\, the same super prolific garagey proto punkers melding Modern Lovers\,
  Television\, Pere Ubu\, Dr Feelgood etc to make records that drag you int
 o the room with em for a good ol boogie. Their recent LP (As The Educated 
 Fools\, hilariously slated by Maximum RnR) is a perfect example of this.. 
 So good live too\, saw em over in Cincinnati a few years ago and I had to 
 pick my jaw up off the floor.. Total Punk records (Alien Nosejob\, Civic\,
  Gee Tee) mainstays and genuinely a pull their records out a burning build
 ing band for me. First time in the UK!WATER MACHINE (Glasgow)Art popping p
 ost punking quintet with rekkids out on Upset The Rhythm (Deerhoof\, Scree
 nsaver etc) Glasgow’s Water Machine blew my mind at JT many moons ago\, 
 so chuffed they’re coming down for this. Their LP\, God Park\, out on Fa
 t Cat Records has received widespread acclaim\, with Henry Rollins\, Marc 
 Riley etc all chiming in. “The world of Water Machine is a swirling eddy
  of melodic bass lines and volatile guitar sliding between jazz chords and
  punk riffs\, all the while narrated by sardonic social commentary and sil
 ly stories”. Very well put..NAPE NECK (Leeds/Berlin)"Nape Neck is the ki
 nd of band that makes you want to play in a band." - Arnold de Boer\, The 
 Ex. Well that’s a good start. “Like a hardcore Gang Of Four” – WFM
 U. Sold yet? This angular no wavey trio ftmo Objections\, Beards\, Gutters
 nipe etc released the LP The Shallowest End in 2025 on a trio of forward t
 hinking labels (Red Wig (Germany)\, OCCII\, Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Do
 t Dash Sounds (USA))\, and embarked on a near month long US tour\, hitting
  up the best of the best Gonerfest on their way through. Excited to get em
  back on home turf.MACKENZIES (Glasgow)The NME C86 comp was a real game ch
 anger\, guess what label had the most bands on there.. that’s right\, Lo
 ng Eaton’s Ron Johnson records. Stump\, Big Flame\, A Witness\, The Shru
 bs.. they all had LPs and a greater oeuvre to delve into\, not Mackenzies.
  They gave us a few Eps and a couple of absolutely killer Peel sessions of
  abrasive twisted indie funk then disappeared. NOW THEY’RE BACK\, 40 yea
 rs later\, with their debut LP\, A Dog’s Breakfast.. eeeeeeeeeek\, can
 ’t wait to hear it. THE REAL LOSERS (Leeds)Yorkshire’s raucous no-fi g
 arage punkers ride again.. I’ll quote The Cribs here “Back in the earl
 y 2000’s\, The Real Losers were the best band in Leeds. Uncompromising\,
  raw as f*ck\, and totally over the edge. They were our favourite band aro
 und”. Their 2002 Cribs produced LP\, Time To Lose\, has been recently re
 pressed by Portland’s Total Punk records\, leading to a few shows states
 ide and luckily for us\, some shows this side of the pond too.. Hold onto 
 yer hats folks.. BITCHFINDER GENERAL (Newcastle)I discovered these lot thr
 ough Jayne’s other project Me Lost Me\, their involvement in the project
  is where their similarity ends. I hear all kinda stuff in these lot\, fro
 m B52s to Kleenex to ESG to a dark Stereolab\, all the vibes.. love em. Wi
 sh I grabbed myself a copy of their tape before they flew out.. Repress fo
 r the fest? Yes please..SUEP (London) “perfect pop music.” Marc Riley 
 said of their debut single Domesticated Dream\, he’s not wrong. Suep’s
  new wavey art pop smarts glisten and refract through the lens of oddball 
 synths\, drum machines\, harmonies and otherworldly arrangements that trea
 d their own path\, leaving other projects\, Porridge Radio\, The Tubs\, Ga
 rden Centre\, PC World etc at the door. Their debut Mini Album (EP?) has j
 ust been released on Memorials Of Distinction (Kiran Leonard\, Shovel Danc
 e Collective etc) to instant acclaim. SAVAK (New York\, USA)Driving indie 
 rockin art punk supergroup (ftmo Obits\, Holy Fuck\, Small Brown Bike\, Si
 lver Jews etc) with nods to Polvo\, Mission of Burma\, Firehose\, Yo La Te
 ngo\, Sonic Youth\, so much rad formative stuff for me but still sounding 
 like their own thing. So prolific\, 6 LPs in and they’re still kicking e
 m out\, all killer. DRAGGED UP (Glasgow)The Velvet Underground\, Pavement\
 , Birthday Party\, The Raincoats\, all the art punk\, free rockin\, psychy
  poppin good vibes rolled into one. Since 2018 this Scottish 5 piece have 
 been sharing the stages with/lauded by Stephen Malkmus (Pavement\, Hard Qu
 artet)\, John Deitrich (Deerhoof)\, Acid Mothers Temple\, Bo Ningen\, The 
 Nightingales etc rocking stages at home and abroad. Their 2 killer LPs are
  soon to welcome a 3rd\, out in Sept on Canadian Label Obscura and UK’s 
 Cruel Nature (Moloch\, Sly and the Family Drone etc). Can’t wait to hear
  it!THE CHOP (Glasgow)Dancer\, Order Of The Toad\, Robert Sotelo\, Thick S
 yrup\, I could go on\, the collective back catalogue of this duo is firmly
  embedded in my record collection/mind. The Chop might be my fave\, tickin
 g all the Young Marble Giants\, Solid Space\, Drinks\, Early Magnetic Fiel
 ds boxes that so often feel neglected. The drum machines\, plinky bass\, c
 asiotones and softly spoken sung poetry of debut album\, It’s The Chop\,
  out on Wrong Speed Records\, is high on my best of 2025 list. EBBY (Rotte
 rdam\, The Netherlands)Their incredible record\, abcde\, was listed on Thu
 rston Moore’s best of 2025\, that doesn’t surprise me one iota. Produc
 ed by Mickael from Lewsberg and reminiscent of Drinks\, mid era Cate Le Bo
 n\, Lithics\, Breeders\, The Shaggs etc it’s the perfect combo of arts a
 nd smarts\, sweet and sour\, harmony and dissonance yada yada yada. This d
 utch 4 piece have been touring with Horsegirl\, The Bug Club and recently 
 played shows with Tortoise. First time over in the UK!THE COOL GREENHOUSE 
 (London)Repetition is a form of change\, Eno said it\, TCG proved it. Biza
 rro driving post punk crammed with fables\, japes\, perfectly aimed diatri
 bes and a heap of heart. I’m not gonna mention The Fall in this descript
 ion. Made a couple of LPs with em\, released on Melodic Records (Bogshed\,
  W.H. Lung etc)\, so much fun. They’ve DJ’d the last couple of festiva
 ls\, Tom even did a guest spot with Buffet Lunch last year\, and now\, the
 y’ve graduated\, to the early evening Sunday slot. First show in 3 years
 ! Last show until TBC. Bit of a special one off jobby this one..UCD (Falmo
 uth / Manchester)Brand new project from the folks behind Holiday Ghosts\, 
 Jeuce\, Jennifer Reid\, Ubiquitous Meh etc.. still not played a show (at t
 ime of writing) but I’ve had a sneak peak at their album and oh gee\, da
 rk garagey jangly surfy organ laden boppers with hints of Modern Lovers\, 
 The Clean\, B52s\, Desperate Bicycles\, The Mummies etc.. so so good..PICT
  (Nottingham)Lush homegrown indie rock\, formidable dynamic live act meldi
 ng nuanced trumpets\, sweet n gritty harmonies\, gnarly americana-isms\, h
 ints of Wilco\, GBV\, Ida\, Big Star etc.. bit of jangle\, bit of chaos an
 d heaps of heart. Aaaaaaaaaand some other bits and pieces TBA… I’m gon
 na say if ya get tickets and fancy some bonus good times… keep Friday 30
 th free too….Thanks for reading my sprawling spiels… Looking forward.P
