“This is my favourite show, I’m having so much fun,” Sunday (1994)’s lead vocalist Paige Turner announced mid-set, as she moved towards the her bandmate, guitarist Lee Newell. It’s hard to fathom that the LA-based dream-pop group’s first single only came out last year, judging by the size and devotion of the crowd that filled EartH Theatre on Thursday night. Fresh off a very successful run of European dates and a summer on the UK festival circuit, the band returned to London

Isle of Wight natives Wet Leg are back on the road, touring the UK and EU until 27 November in celebration of their new album ‘Moisturizer’ . Kicking off their run at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Thursday, 13th November, the group showcased their growth and delivered one of their strongest shows to date. After two openers and a long build-up, anticipation in the room was high. Anyone who has seen Wet Leg before knows they never shy away from giving their all. Lead singe

Nothing says spooky season like cold, dark evenings, horror films, and Halloween costumes. Whether it’s for a cosy night in, a party, or pumpkin carving, the perfect choice of film or song can set the scene for a great night. Here are a few of the Sonic Hub team’s favourites to get you in the mood for this Halloween! Spooky Tunes Arguably the most famous song associated with Halloween, Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ seems to feature on everybody’s Halloween playlist. And of cou

It’s official: hard life are back. The indie-pop band, formerly known as easy life, returned to the stage on Tuesday (28 October 2025) at O2 Academy Leeds for the first night of their ‘Onion Tour’, marking the start of a new era and the release of their third studio album. Leeds was stop number one of seven, and the Sonic Hub team was there to witness the comeback in full force. Opening the night was rising UK songwriter Woody, who delivered an emotionally charged set of Mk.g

Small venues make everything feel more intimate, and as the blue-tinted lights of Hoxton Hall flooded the room, you could feel the excitement in the air as the crowd waited patiently for Oregon native Alec Duckart, also known as Searows, to take the stage. To warm up the chilly air, Hetta Falzon lulled the audience with a beautiful marriage of pop and jazz, singing about not fitting in, comparing oneself to peers, and struggling with anxiety. It was the perfect start to the

The digital world stopped in its tracks when Taylor Swift dropped the razor-sharp ‘Actually Romantic’, seemingly aimed at her contemporary Charli XCX. From lyric dissections to think pieces arguing it missed the mark, the track sparks a timely question: how did the diss track become such a defining feature of pop? And do we secretly need a little gossip to make it through the mundane? Full feature at the link in bio.

When Lola Young collapsed onstage last month, the reaction online told its own story. Beneath the polite messages wishing her well was an undercurrent of anger: people frustrated at only getting half a show, worrying about future cancellations, and even criticising her for needing a break. Why do we lash out when a concert is cancelled? And why do we blame performers, particularly young women, for health conditions they largely cannot control?

Sonic Hub was back at All Things Go this year, and though the sun was far too hot for the end of September, the weekend was stacked with impressive performances from both smaller and well-established artists.

The Toronto-based four-piece — Jordan and Kylie Miller, Leandra Earl, and Eliza Enman-McDaniel — embark on an eleven-track emotional roller coaster, plunging headfirst into exploring not only the highs and lows, but the chaotic messiness of love and loss. Punctuated with gritty guitar, energetic drums, and varying elements of both alt and punk rock, every song tells a different, holistic story, from the perspective of a different band member. Lead singer Jordan Miller, who al
