SPREAD YOUR LOVE PRESENTS... ROLLUPS + THE ROEBUCKS
ROLLUPS + THE ROEBUCKS + DDHP - FIRST 40 FREE!
FIRST 40 TICKETS FREE
with £4 pints all night!
ROLLUPS
Formed in a flat above a letting agency in rainy Rusholme, Rollups is a four-piece alternative rock band with influences ranging from MF DOOM to Mazzy Star. Within two years, they've carved out a name for themselves in the Manchester music scene, landing gigs at iconic Manchester venues and having their single played on BBC Radio Manchester. "With intricate bass lines, razor-sharp guitar riffs, and lyrics that pack a punch, the Rollups are on the rise: a band that you definitely don’t want to miss!"
THE ROEBUCKS
The Roebucks are a four piece from Brighton whose idiosyncratic take on an alt-country / Americana sound is at times woozy and tender, at other times earthy and bluesy. While the band have been around since 2022, the addition of drumming /vocalist powerhouse Sophie Moloney in early 2024 has seen the band truly hit their stride in terms of elevating both their songwriting and their live performances to a whole new level. Lush three-part harmonies interlace with Dwayne Allman-esque riffs and the tightest of rhythm sections to conjure up their own uniquely warm take on a familiar genre.
DDHP open up the show - a Manchester band we believe Matt Sharpe was the most important member of Weezer, apparently.

SPREAD YOU LOVE PRESENTS... EAT GIRLS + MATERIAL GOODS
eat-girls (France) + Material Goods
Just announced to play Left of the Dial 2025 (along with Spread your love alumni YAANG) - eat-girls takes you on an otherworldly journey though pop, post-punk, minimal synth, kraut and dub that bring to life their obsessions of the abstract.
Their debut album 'Area Silenzio' was released on November 8, 2024, on the german label Bureau B. The buzzing, minimalist synth gem "Para los Pies Cansados" is filled with gleeful group harmonies, while "Trauschaft" is both furious and funky, with urgent beats and a killer bassline. Eat-Girls seem curiously spaced out, but they've clearly honed their particular style of disconnection, and the highlights of their debut are riveting.
With support from Material Goods + Fat Concubine
MANCHESTER FOLK PRESENT... SIMEON HAMMOND DALLAS + GUESTS
MANCHESTER FOLK PRESENT... SIMEON HAMMOND DALLAS + GUESTS
Simeon Hammond Dallas was born and raised in the rich musical and cultural melting pot of Camden Town. Growing up listening to her parent’s eclectic record collection that spanned artists from The Cranberries to Ella Fitzgerald, her music traverses genres and is described by Holler Country as “a no-f***’s-given distinctly millennial take on Americana and blues, that sounds like Bonnie Raitt would have if her songs had been written by Alanis Morissette”.Through a catalogue filled with intersectional storytelling, Simeon Hammond Dallas gives voice to a generation wrangling with the complexities of modern life.
SPREAD YOUR LOVE PRESESNTS... SERVO + THE CUTTER
SERVO (France) + The Cutter + Slowhandclap
"Dealing in the kind of dark, post-punk noise-rock that storms with ease between gloomy, hypnotic moments and bouts of powerful, motorik noise, SERVO’s sound finds an unstable home between heavy, droning psych-rock and gothic post-punk; forlorn, jangling guitars and deep, austere vocals breaking down into piercing blasts of feedback and distortion.
The band have spent the last few years bringing their intense live show – an assault of trance-inducing noise and blinding flashes of light – to growing audiences around mainland Europe and the UK.
The new album ‘Monsters’ came out in early 2024 with accompanying live show constructed to be powerful and immersive. Each track is blessed by brutality and heaviness. The place left after the storm can be filled with details and complexity, as predictable as unexpected. The audience is captured, hypnotized and no one can escape"
Class in tow with THE CUTTER and SLOWHANDCLAP on support duties.
STRANGE DAYS PRESENT… JAGGED BAPTIST CLUB + FUZZ LIGHTYEAR
STRANGE DAYS PRESENT… JAGGED BAPTIST CLUB + FUZZ LIGHTYEAR
GREY LANTERN PRESENTS… PATIO + GUESTS
New York’s Patio formed when non-musician Loren DiBlasi met actual musician Lindsey-Paige McCloy, and a joke about outdoor day drinking turned into a real-life band. The duo was soon joined by Alice Suh, a college friend of McCloy's who had recently started learning drums. Instantly, the trio developed a signature sound of sparse, melodic post-punk, signing with Fire Talk Records and releasing acclaimed debut Essentials in 2019.
On latest album Collection, new sonic influences like disco and 2000s NYC indie evoke freedom and euphoric joy — maintaining the band’s signature minimalism, but with newfound confidence and control. Produced by Nate Amos (Water from Your Eyes, This Is Lorelei), Collection was named one of the best indie rock albums of 2023 by Rolling Stone.

DUTCH MUSTARD + BABY UNIVERSE
DUTCH MUSTARD + BABY UNIVERSE
Netherlands-born London-based Dutch Mustard marries a blend of ethereal dream-pop and 90s alt-rock with timeless shoegaze touches. The overall soundscape layers abstract drones and washes with bouncing psych-infused guitar lines, whilst SJ’s vocals drift between a borderline whisper and heaven-directed lung-bursts.
In 2022 she released her debut EP An Interpretation of Depersonalisation, which was quickly featured by the BBC, getting airplay on Radio 1’s Future Artists with Jack Saunders and being selected by none other than rock's enduring sage Iggy Pop. This was followed by the Beauty EP in 2023, which saw similar acclaim - notably with multiple spins from Lauren Laverne on 6 Music, as well as backing from Don Letts and Amy Lamé.
Press wise The Independent, The Line of Best Fit, CLASH, DORK and Notion have supported in the UK - and perhaps most tellingly she was picked out by The Grammy Awards Site as one of ‘6 Female Fronted Acts Reviving Rock’ alongside Wet Leg, and others.
