London indie-rockers felicette drop their debut album, Plasticine Heart on Friday, May 22, via London DIY label Everything Sucks Music. Following a massive launch night in London, the band are celebrating the release with shows in Birmingham, Oxford, and Bristol, alongside fellow fans of 90s sounds Trust Club and Sinews – bringing grunge‑pop hooks, slacker‑rock joy and post‑hardcore catharsis to every city.

Named after the first cat in space, Felicette are a London quartet formed of Soph, Rose, Milly and Jay making 90s-inspired-alternative-grunge-pop-rock. Think big guitars, sticky riffs, and deadpan lyrics about break ups, panic attacks, and small-minded men. Bringing together members of Painter, Supermilk, Cheerbleederz, Matagot, Nathy SG, and Jay Cavalier and the Band, the 10-track record is a sort of time capsule reminiscent of Juliana Hatfield, The Breeders, Nirvana and Veruca Salt. Recorded at London’s Bookhouse studio with producer Rich Mandell, the record cuts through the veneer of adulthood to look at the stressful stuff underneath – crafting earworms aplenty as it does so.

This Friday 22nd May they’ll be at The Victoria in Birmingham, on Saturday 23rd they’re at The Library in Oxford, and on Sunday 24th they play a matinee show at The Exchange in Bristol. They’re joined on all three dates by Trust Club and Sinews, while in Oxford emerging emo/shoegaze band Aftercare also join the bill.

Trust Club are a three-piece indie/slacker rock band from the Midlands. Unapologetically goofy live, but tight and melodic as they are dissonant, band members Ali, Matt and Noah take the lo-fi and grunge elements of classic alternative like Weezer, Superdrag, Pavement, Title Fight and Speedy Ortiz, but with fresh inspiration they craft a sound of their own. With two EPs under their belt, Trust Club are working on new material in preparation for their debut album. Having played numerous headline shows and having shared the stage with Speedy Ortiz, Weakened Friends, Snake Eyes, Supermilk and Me Rex, Trust Club have established themselves as an exciting live act. AltEscape said: ‘There is something so inviting and euphoric about seeing Trust Club perform live; their gleeful grins and effortlessly fun set always makes for a satisfied crowd.’

Sinews is a band from Oxford, made up of Luke, Heather, Rich and Thomas, playing unfashionable post-hardcore rock music, inspired by Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu, Helmet, Modest Mouse, Unwound, and Pavement. The band released their debut EP ‘Reanimated’ in January 2024, and a follow up EP ‘Choreography’ in February 2025, which Nightshift Magazine said ‘stands true to post-hardcore’s original ideals and finds the sweet spot between thoughtful intricacy and musical violence.’ Live the band have shared the stage with the likes of Mclusky, Fucked Up, Thank, The None, Cassels, Objections, and Other Half.
