Sprawl 006:BATHING SUITS
@bathingsuitsband
Operating under the mantra “Always dancey. Always loud. Always sexy,” Bathing Suits fuse abrasive guitars with pummelling techno to create a visceral noise-trance sound. Drawing inspiration from the frenetic energy of Model/Actriz and Psychotic Monks alongside the raunchy edge of early-2010s pop, their new single “Empathy” (Underplay Recordings) is a seven-minute club exorcism produced by DJ Subaru.
Born from Leeds’ DIY party scene, the band have built a reputation for their high-octane live shows, sharing stages with Prostitute, Man/Woman/Chainsaw and TTSSFU, and appearing at festivals including Transmusicales, The Great Escape and Green Man.
HONESTY
@honestyrhere
HONESTY isn’t a traditional band. Formed of four core members — George Mitchell, Matt Peel, Josh Lewis and Imi Marston — alongside a rotating cast of collaborators (including Kosi Tides, Softlizard, Rarelyalways, Florence Shaw and Liam Bailey), the Leeds-based collective emerged as an experiment in doing things differently, driven by a journey toward self-acceptance.
Their debut album U R HERE (February 2025) blends influences from Mount Kimbie and My Bloody Valentine to Björk and Burial, creating a subtly exhilarating take on club music that has quickly defined their sound.
Through evolving audio-visual shows, DJ residencies, remix work and collaborations, HONESTY continually reshape themselves — their output fluid, rave-infused and driven by a sense of reinvention. Where they go next remains wide open.
