PALS are a two-piece music venture. Just a couple of Pals making a few songs in their spare time.

Coffee Ramblings isn't everyone's cup of tea. "Enthusiastic, eccentric, if occasionally self indulgent" (Chortle)... Occasionally? D'you mean always?

All Tomorrow's Parties  is an organisation based in London that has been promoting festivals, concerts and records throughout the world for ten years. It was founded by Barry Hogan in 1999 in preparation for the first All Tomorrow's Parties festival, the line-up of which was curated by Mogwai and took place in the unusual setting of Pontins Holiday Camp, Camber Sands. Since then the festival has appeared every year, and continues to set itself apart from festivals like Reading or Glastonbury by staying intimate, non-corporate and fan-friendly. Another vital difference is that the line-ups are chosen by significant bands or artists, resulting in unpredictable and exciting events which combine performances by legendary and influential acts with appearances by the latest crop of experimental artists from any (and every) musical genre. The All Tomorrow's Parties festival has become more successful with every passing year, moving in 2006 to a larger holiday camp. It has taken place in the UK, USA and Australia

ATP Recordings is a record label started in 2001 by London concert promoter Barry Hogan, who heads the All Tomorrow's Parties organisation, which has been promoting its world renowned festivals and concerts since 2000. The label was originally created to bring out a compilation CD featuring artists from the line-up of a Tortoise curated All Tomorrow's Parties event. As well as further compilations released to coincide with their festivals, the label soon expanded, signing bands and releasing their records: sometimes for the European market where their records had no distribution, but also on a worldwide basis with artists old and new.

The label has notably released the first album by the reunited Magic Band, and also acclaimed albums from Bardo Pond, Deerhoof and Australia's The Drones. The label develops new home-grown talent such as Alexander Tucker and Fuck Buttons, and has also worked to release records by such varied luminaries as Apse, Autolux, Spiritualized, Built To Spill, Sleepy Sun, Death Vessel, Fursaxa, Jackie-O Motherfucker, The Scientists, Threnody Ensemble and White Out (with Jim O'Rourke).

Shadow Mountains are a 4-piece rock band from Liverpool, UK. Formed in 2024, Shadow Mountains features members Lee Glynn - Vox/Guitars (ex Sound Of Guns), Jack McAllister - Guitars, Jake Marray - Bass and James Lorenzo - Drums.

Shadow Mountains’ new single “Sinking Like a Stone” drops 10 October 2025. 

Mixed by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild) and featuring a live orchestra, it explores the weight of adult responsibilities too young. 

The Liverpool four‑piece—fronted by Lee Glynn (ex‑Sound of Guns) with Jack Mac, Jake Marray and James Lorenzo—blends heavy riffs with melodic hooks and a cinematic feel that is hard to categorise. 

Their singles “Foxholes” and “Changing Tides” earned This Feeling’s Track of the Week. Influenced by U2, Foo Fighters & Queens Of The Stone Age, the band is rolling out a cinematic video and a UK tour, including the Cavern Club and Deaf Institute, ahead of an early 2026 EP.
