New Sounds of 2025
Spent Tuesday evening at The Old Blue Last for @diymag.com Hello 2025 pt 1
An eclectic mix of four bands all with something to offer a fun way to start the year's gig season. Here's some quick fire reviews of the bands on show
Thanks DIY!

First up - Fuzz Lightyear
High octane start to affairs. Fuzz Lightyear were loud, raw and in your face. Shades of Fews guitars and Rage Against the Machine rhythms. Standout track My Body:

Second on the bill - @dearyband.bsky.social
The Old Blue Last was filled to the rafters & Deary delivered an atmospheric set with dreamy vocals & soaring guitars. The Drift (NSOL#159 no less) stood out alongside other heavier moments!

An entertaining set from The Pill. Short, sweet & at times not so sweet songs when the killer punchlines hit! Good banter with the crowd too. They finished on Bale of Hay which is a fun-filled romp:

Headliner was Jasmine.4.t with a politically charged set of great tunes. The full band inc strings gave an alt country twang to the set with some great guitar work at the fore. Top track (& NSOL#160); the stunning Skin on Skin
