More info

https://punchlove.net

A Brooklyn-based band dedicated to pushing the envelope of experimental sonic practices. For the five multi-instrumentalists and audio engineers, moving into a maze of a house in Brooklyn together was the transition that created the album they had been writing their whole lives.

Melding DIY recording and experimental sonic visions with studio quality, their debut album, “Channels," is a layered bed of adventurous, pain-pop songs that coalesce around a digitally-stimulated, emotionally-serrated brand of modern shoegaze. "Channels" is out now everywhere on Kanine Records.

Don't miss Champion Trees upcoming gig!

10 Jun 2026, 19:00 – 23:00 The Old Church, Stoke Newington Church St, London N16 9ES, UK

Tickets: https://www.realsounds.uk/event-details/313

Thank you to our students Alfie & Tyler G for helping prepare and host this podcast.

More about the artist Champion Trees - formed when cousins Francis Christie (vocal, guitar) and Lex Pienaar (bass) got together with drummer Langa Dubazana at the University of Cape Town.

Taking notes from 90s luminaries Belle & Sebastian and Pavement, they set out to have fun with music and language, building a following on the back of their well-received 2022 debut album NOW 3000.

The lush arrangements of newly released second album A Duck’s Water Off My Back are a marked departure from the lean production of the band’s early material, thanks in part to the addition of new members James Bickford-Smith (violin, synthesizers), Michael Burke (saxophone), and Michelle Hromin (clarinet), whose contributions have brought new textural depth to the music.

A Duck’s Water Off My Back has greatly expanded the band's following, particularly after it received critical acclaim from Outside Noise, who maintain that it features "some of the most beautiful poetry we've heard in independent music all year".

Special Friend - French/American indie-noise-pop duo based in Paris. Formed in 2018 by Erica Ashleson (drums, vocals) and Guillaume Siracusa (guitar, vocals), after having met at a concert in Paris.

At the time, Erica was learning to play drums and Guillaume accompanied on guitar and the two friends made their first compositions within just 4 months.

In 2019, they released a self-titled EP recorded in their rehearsal studio in two days, unveiling a singular sound of minimalistic indie-noise-pop, recalling the likes of Yo La Tengo, Duster, and Electrelane.

A first album Ennemi Commun released in 2021, was positively received, allowing the band to tour and play at the prominent festivals La Route du Rock, La Cathédrale - Binic, and the Paris Pop Fest 2022 edition.

The duo spent most of 2022 composing and recording their next album, Wait until the flames come rushing in which was released June 30th 2023 on Skep Wax (UK), Howlin Banana Records (FR), and Hidden Bay Records (FR).

Since forming after the pandemic, they released two albums, receiving glowing reviews from CLASH, Wonderland, and Loud & Quiet, and airplay on BBC Radio 6. Subsequently, 'Nunhead' was remixed by the bassist of legendary goth group Bauhaus. They also supported the Libertines, Goat Girl and Fat Dog. After its release, their second record 'White Bardo' amassed 70k in organic streams as well as 18k+ views on ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ music video. The band showcased at Rotterdam's Left of the Dial last autumn. So far in 2025 they have supported Pete Doherty, performed at New York City's New Colossus Festival & completed 3 UK tours all over the country and multiple festivals including Bestival in August.
