Placebo

During the course of three decades, eight albums and more than 14million album sales, Placebo have maintained an experimental edge to their sound – with 2022 album Never Let Me Go hailed as a ‘gob-smackingly urgent long-player’.

Channelling Molko and Olsdal’s skills as songwriters and sound-makers, Never Let Me Go satisfies the near-brutal appetite for self-expression which has been a trademark since early singles Pure Morning, Nancy Boy, and Without You I’m Nothing, alongside a furious relevance for today’s listeners.

The multi-platinum selling band continue to mix alt-rock with goth and electronica, to create a signature sound which draws in a cult following around the world.

Female alt-pop-rock four-piece Friedberg, were formed in London in 2019 and are fronted by singer-songwriter and actress Anna F. Their single Go Wild became a runaway hit when it featured on the FIFA 2020 soundtrack and BBC’sNormal People.
