Picky New Promotions are proud to bring you a headline show featuring Northampton's own local hero MEGAPHONEY on Fri, Nov 20, at The Lab, Megaphoney is the solo project of Northampton-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Peter Marchant, whose uplifting, nostalgic songwriting draws deeply from the classic rock and singer-songwriter records that shaped his musical upbringing. Raised on a soundtrack of 1970s icons alongside his older brother and creative collaborator Matt, Marchant developed a love for timeless melodies, rich arrangements and emotionally resonant storytelling that now sit at the heart of Megaphoney's sound. Following the tragic loss of Matt in 2019, Marchant embarked on a deeply personal journey of artistic growth, reconnecting with the musical roots the brothers shared while forging a voice distinctly his own. Performing almost every instrument on his recordings, Megaphoney's music stands as a testament to the enduring power of inspiration, love and human connection, transforming personal loss into songs filled with warmth, hope and heart.

Picky New Promotions present BLOODY/BATH

The Lab · Northampton

Picky New Promotions are proud to present BLOODY/BATH at The Lab in Northampton on Fri, Oct 30! Hailing from the bleak factory town of Northampton, bloody/bath embody their hometown’s grinding inertia on new single, 'I Saw the Devil.' The opening track from forthcoming EP Dust, the song begins sparse: hip-hop-indebted drums, rhythmic flourishes and spiky bursts of noise gather mass until it can hold no longer, the groove collapsing under its own weight into a lurching breakdown. Coiled and threatening, the track lashes out at the world before the rage, with nowhere else to go, turns inward. bloody/bath emerged in 2020 as a bedroom project by singer-songwriter Kailan Price before quickly evolving into a full five-piece band. What began as lo-fi indie experiments soon transformed into a darker, more menacing sound rooted firmly in post-punk. Drawing from bleak atmospheres, gothic textures and the restless pulse of modern post-punk, bloody/bath craft songs that balance stark vulnerability with intensity. Their music is built on waves of distorted guitars, driving basslines and pounding rhythms, with Price’s vocals cutting through the gloom with raw urgency. Since their formation,...
