The Astrids Headline At The Underground - 17/01/20 Finally, an Astrids headline show. It certainly didn't disappoint... FIKA, Leed's newest girl band, hit the stage for the first time. They kicked off the night with their own song, '1984', to get the crowd going. An audience favourite was the bands rendition of 'She Will' by Savages, a noise rock band from London. As their 20 minute set started to come to a close, a group of boys at front got everyone shouting 'FIKA, FIKA, FIKA'. The final song played was another original written by the girls named Bitten.

Formed in July 2019, this 5 piece have already had songs featured on BBC London, KEXP and Amazing Radi...

One of the first people I photographed for was an Ormskirk/Liverpool based artist called Charity Shop Pop. Making bedroom pop in his room, Charity is certainly making a name for himself with nearly a thousand monthly listeners on Spotify! His soft 80s influenced music is certainly a hit and with the vintage aesthetic he's going for, I really tried to capture that feel in the photos with my own twist. Another stand out artist from the Liverpool music scene is Paddy Clarke and the Fancy Rats. Formed in 2017, the band are punk and folk inspired. With the release of t...
