Sealionwoman / Bryn Wyrd / Monika Badly
Sealionwoman -
Vocalist Kitty Whitelaw and double bass player Tye McGivern are the doom folk duo Sealionwoman. Distorted double-bass strings rumble with dark, foreboding, sonorous energy; like a flashlight beam piercing a shadowy night, McGivern's voice cuts through Whitelaw's bass, singing plaintive, beautiful melodies. Illusive and alluring, Sealionwoman's music dabbles in celtic folk tales and mythology: their debut album Siren (2018) was inspired by the Scottish folk tale of the selkie – a creature that shapeshifts between human and seal forms. Their follow-up, Nothing Will Grow in the Soil (2024), moves from water to earth, taking the yew tree and its perennial persistence and pagan influence as a thematic focus. Sprouting from this concept, they nurture songs of droning excellence. As their music crescendos from minimalistic harmony into ritualistic chaos, a strange vibrational eeriness fills their songs – one that elicits the haunting world of the late Scott Walker.

Bryn Wyrd -
Bryn Wyrd is a Bristol based duo with strong Midlands roots. The collaboration between Anthony Brown (Repo Man / Iceman Furniss Quintet / Swelt) on upright bass and Aron Ward (Harpoon / Olanza / Repo Man) on assorted electronics, drum machines and fx mangling wields an impressively diverse palate on 'L.A. Crab'. Aron and Ant bring a gnarled, rugged and hyperactive sound to the table with traces of early Warp-style IDM (Idiotic Dance Music) colliding with free-jazz bass wigouts, dub/concrète/industrial textures smudged into the corners and plenty of proper swingin’, sweatin’ groove to gurn your face off to.

Monika Badly -
Hot off the release of their sophomore full length, 'Love Songs', Monika Badly returns to Moor for another dose of bass heavy, noise-punk-industrial techno chaos, channeling themes of gender dysphoria, body horror, misanthropy, and queer rage through cathartic audio obliteration. Visceral, hallucinatory, and overwhelming, their live performances will have you dancing and cowering in equal measure.
