"Watching Dorcha is like being propelled into another world; they are without a doubt one of the most exciting music projects to come out of Birmingham in recent years.” - Flatpack Film Festival.

Dorcha are a genre fluid 5 piece band of synths, strings, electronics and heavy beats. A dynamic, versatile group with a refusenik attitude, Dorcha obsess over transporting listeners to a pool of shifting, nearly gothic, barely pop, experimental songwriting. Praised by the likes of BBC Radio 6’s Stuart Maconie on the Freak Zone, 2017 saw further progression in Dorcha’s recognition, with a live performance on BBC Radio 3 Late Junction, appearances at Flatpack Film Festival, Supernormal, Supersonic Festival and more. The band are currently working on a new album for release later in the year, with a single release of ‘Bruiser’ set for the end of May and Summer tour dates across the UK.

“Dorcha already know their own collective mind and are starting to channel a genre defying path through the increasingly fractured musical landscape. They deliver original and ambitious ideas with attitude and commitment, combining their considerable aptitude as players with an impressive musical sensibility. They clearly enjoy what they do. In Anna Palmer they have a tenacious front woman whose ability to move convincingly from sweet song to dark folk to visceral noise is captivating. Dorcha are a tight, grounded, self assured band delivering solid ideas that demand some attentive listening.” - Verity Sharp, BBC Radio 3.

Tongue Trap began at Edinburgh’s Girls Rock School in 2016 and are already being noticed for their unflinching take on topics from relationships and sexual assault to eating tacos and getting your period on the bus.


Tongue Trap are a three piece from Glasgow made up of close friends Kim, Izzy and Alec who like to make pedals and record ‘bedroom rock’ together and are described as “sparkling with the right doses of playful gusto and pointed, feminist lyricism” by The Skinny Magazine.


Influenced by bands like the Pixies, Fugazi, Sonic Youth, Screaming Females, the Julie Ruin, the Microphones and Sleater Kinney. 
Tongue Trap have played all over Scotland having supported international bands like Cribs, Cherry Glazerr, Taco Cat and Skating Polly, Baby In Vain.
