SOFT PLAY are back and delivering banger after banger, their sensitive current single ‘Everything and Nothing’ having recently been premiered by Jack Saunders at Radio 1 - and adding to the anticipation for the July 19th release of their new album ‘HEAVY JELLY’ following the thumping intensity of ‘Act Violently’, ‘Mirror Muscles’ and ‘Punk’s Dead’. The duo’s life-affirming resurgence continues with the confirmation of their ‘HEAVY JELLY’ UK tour this October. Their first headline tour in six years, the ‘HEAVY JELLY’ tour is set to ignite venues across the country before culminating with a very special Halloween show at the O2 Academy Brixton - with fancy dress very much encouraged.

Their select recent gigs – including headline sets 2000trees, Bearded Theory and a rammed sold-out show at the Electric Brixton - have shown that SOFT PLAY have upped the ante following their return, both in terms of raw power and mischievous humour. As Louder Than War’s review of the Brixton show enthused, “Their raucous energy, sardonic humour, and unadulterated punk spirit proved their return is not only welcome but essential.”

‘’Everything And Nothing is SOFT PLAY simultaneously at their heaviest and most vulnerable. It ruminates on profound loss and the ravaging, devastating effects that that has on the human heart, but also the strength that can come from it – as well as all the joy and fun that, despite everything, is still to be found in life.’’ - Kerrang!

“‘HEAVY JELLY’ might be 2024’s sweetest comeback.” – DIY

Romi, Sarah, Emily, and Meg were fed up of music being a ‘members-only club’ at its best and a phallocracy at its worst, so in 2018, they decided to do something about it.

Cue, Panic Shack.

Armed with brash, witty lyrics and killer hooks, they crashed through the UK music scene with a tidal wave of ear-crunching noise. Immediately building up a reputation for their raw, unapologetic live shows and off-kilter songs, Panic Shack prove that DIY does it better.

Since their inception it’s been non-stop for this Welsh punk quintet. With support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music, Huw Stephens, Jack Saunders, Radio X, Bob Vylan, and PRS, it’s clear that this band have started something special.

Having already played prestigious stages at Green Man Festival, Liverpool Sound City, Cardiff Castle, and 2000 Trees Festival, and joined bands like The Wytches, Grandma’s House, and Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard on stages across the UK, Panic Shack are only going to continue to create unhinged, earth-shattering music (until, of course, they’re rich enough to be sipping champagne after taking a dip in the pool at their mansions).
