thistle. play the Mash House on the 31st January, support from Little Grandad.

“A heady mix of shoegaze, indie rock and hardcore that combines to incredible effect” - Rolling Stone UK

Northampton four piece. Check out it's nice to see you, stranger. Guitars squeal away, he's carrying drums on his head to play it outside in the rain while smoking a cigarette. Fine, great even! The band is a hot topic, with support from all the usual tastemaking places; We hear So Young is bullish and Steve Lamacq recently attended a show. It's energetic, it's got a classic vibe to it and it's hardcore-adjacent in a way very conducive to a pit. Reckon we're on for a good do.
