Following the eternal rest of North-Eastern seminal favourites This Aint Vegas comes their new band Coal Train. Drawing on influences such as The Band, Wilco and Red House Painters, the Sunderland based four piece have etched a fresh new sound that still captures the raw energy of their DIY punk rock past. The band now comprises of Richard Amundsen, Jordan Hill, Michael Matthews and new pianist John Beattie. 
Coal Train are no strangers to live shows, as their former band proved with relentless touring of the UK and the continent that had a reputation for honest and dynamic performances. Time waits for no man, and Coal Train aren’t hanging around, with ambitions of re-igniting the live scene and recording a full length LP later this year. Following their debut gig, Coal Train have been gathering strength at their rehearsals in a crumbling Wearside based miners hall. Their debut single ‘Building Dens’ in limited hand made packaging will be released on Run of the Mill Records on September 27th.

St Cyrus is the project of singer songwriter Chris Charlton, from Wakefield, West Yorks. Originally from Montrose, Scotland Charlton's first ever band was actually with Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite, aged 11 😄. Chris played in seminal UK hardcore pop outfit Chopper (Crackle records, Fierce Panda) and then influential indie-emo band Pylon, championed by fellow Wakey pals The Cribs. 

St Cyrus is melodic, catchy alt pop, crafted since 2020 in the West Yorkshire rhubarb triangle fields, think The Decemberists meets Death Cab for Cutie but from Yorkshire.

With previous plays on BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio, collaborations with The Research's Georgina Jakubiak and Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly, St Cyrus is officially charged with creating music that you can't get out of your head. Latest single 'All The Eyes Are On Us' is released 28th July 2023.
