Out of everything I had to miss at this year’s @glasgoespop.bsky.social this hurts the most 💔

Feel (3 Ex-Members of Felt) performing „Primitive Painters“ at Glas-Goes Pop 2026. For this Song they were joined by Radhika and Stuart Murdoch (Belle and Sebastian). Also loved to see The Bats (NZ) again. ❤️ Thank you! #glasgoespop2026 #feltband #indiepop

Buzzing that our bedsit ballad "Stakhanovite Endeavour" garnered its world radio premiere tonight, courtesy of Miguel's Midweek Musings show... This kind of support eclipses our expectations 😸

Tune in (12 Aug) 3-5pm EDT on whupfm.org - titled "Here It Comes." 1st hr new from Teenage Fanclub, Durutti Column, Frankie Rose, Dev Lemons, & The Avalanches. 2nd hr new from The Darling Buds, THAO, som som, strongboi, & Trachcan Sinatras. + The Rosslyns & Joy Formidable #MidweekMusings #WHUP

A couple of days ago a couple of the Rosslyns went for a couple of drinks with a couple of the Coronets, who were lovely company. Please do consider their charming, thoughtful, quirky POP (that’s sometimes also sad) for Bandcamp Friday...

We’ve sent a couple of gorgeous tracks to our 7” cutting expert. Can’t wait for those to become a reality, not long to go!

A year ago today, somehow. Thanks dearly to anyone that’s given this and the album a listen and to the wonderful @assistant.bandcamp.com for editing the video. (More music on the way sometime before the end of the decade) youtu.be/Y1UXxGsFpnI?...

Now 4 years, ofc. Can‘t emphasise enough how surreal it feels to have a physical release on a label I loved so much in my teens and 20s. We’re catching up with the label boss in person soon to buy him a drink / claim our royalties etc 😁

Only a few days until our first UK tour. We booked this entirely DIY through the goodwill of the punk/indiepop community. Please try to buy tickets in advance - it will help reassure the kind folk that are putting on the gigs that they haven't made a terrible mistake. Tickets: linktr.ee/neutrals82

Now with the right link, sorry... Спасибо to KURS Radio and the lads from OTO for playing our 87-sec slide guitar ballad, “Kirsty etc” in the Moscow shop. From an hour of mellow, rewarding music we’d otherwise never have tripped across ❤️

SHOPFIRES@shopfiresmusic.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The recent SHOPFIRES demos I've done are a disparate set of songs. So keep your eyes peeled and your ears open for run of standalone singles. Oh, and the Acoustic Reworks are still a thing. Plus an instrumental mini album might be happening too, we shall see ✨️🙂✨️

Great to be on @wfmu.bsky.social again the other night, thanks to DJ Sydney and her dad, guesting on his birthday, an old friend of the jims' Andrew*. Dinosaur Jr, The Fall and then us - quality. wfmu.org/archiveplaye... *Andrew did live in NYC a long while so we'll take 'New York area band'...

An album I enjoyed so much, I bought 3 copies so can pass on copies to friends @slowcountry.bsky.social
