About this Event

We Broke Free are proud to present:



Dream Wife

The pop punk trio - Alice, Bella & Rakel - Dream Wife formed within the walls of art university in Brighton. When they left uni that's when the rocky roads of Dream Wife kicked in full speed: Their reputation as one of the best new live bands in London is already cemented following tours with Sleigh Bells, The Kills and their recent US triumphant stateside debut on tour at SXSW which earned them praise from NPR, DIY, Stereogum, Nylon, Entertainment Weekly etc. Armed with razor sharp pop tunes and a take no prisoners punk attitude they’re are known to elicit pure chaos at their raucous live shows.



“The girl gang proving there’ s force in femininity. Dream Wife create pop anthems for the Instagram generation” - Dazed



“Icelandic-Brightonian three-piece with the attitude

of New York punks and pizazz of disco queens” -

The Guardian



“Dream Wife is a perfect example of what makes SXSW special, the discovery and excitement of seeing something real that has feeling and meat to it, and makes you grateful you were there to witness it.”- NPR Music



“New single ‘Somebody’ is a well-oiled machine worthy of the Strokes but performed with the righteous indignation of Bikini Kill...snappy, punk-informed rock‘n’ roll.” -Stereogum



“Dream Wife offer a soundtrack ripe for a punk Sofia Coppola movie soundtrack” - NYLON



LEECHES

Band with big bags of beers and riffs.



Leeches are a bunch of desperate, bubbly individuals who've been hurt before and won't suffer fools gladly (or something). Interests include embroidery, nights in by the fire, long walks and debauchery.



Formed in the depths of Dorset in the pre-summer haze of 2016, LEECHES are bringing infectious pop hooks to fuzzy alt-rock - a match made in heaven some might say. Their debut single, 'Inside Voices' was released in early October 2016, and the band have finally got themselves together to release their debut EP on cassette via Leisure Records (but not before sticking the artwork through the washing machine). 'Strange Bonds' is a four-track trip through duo's thoughts and whimsy, mixing their moments of tender reflection with pop hooks and psyche-riffs.



+++ LYRA

LYRA are a new local band based in Bournemouth consisting of members: Billy Cook (Guitar/Vocals), Danny Gunn (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Will Crankshaw (Bass), Fin Taylor (Drums)



The distressing sound of distortion and the relaxed riffs blends the two influences of The Cure and a shoegaze band of the 90's to create a unique new wave of Indie music. LYRA are currently in the creation of an EP that will blow your mind.
