BUFFET LUNCH have been writing pleasingly imperfect pop songs since 2017. Comprised of musicians based in Glasgow, Edinburgh and (sometimes) Newcastle, the group craft ramshackle odysseys of observational charm. Always catchy, often profound. Buffet Lunch have been previously described as a band that create ‘a hodgepodge of noises’, and who are ‘lyrically ridiculous’. Both claims are strongly denied by the group.

EBBY - ft members of Lewsberg

The bare-bones guitar songs of Ebby are equally ramshackle indie and motorik groove. Inspired by the freedom of a child playing an instrument for the first time - their sound is deliberately unpolished, with a sense of almost falling apart. Rough edges and unfinished thoughts are an essential part of the creative process - like sketches captured in the moment.

The debut album ‘abcde’ was quietly released on cassette in February 2025. Slowly but steadily it has been finding its audience through word-of-mouth, online radio shows and a growing live reputation with support slots for acts like Horsegirl, The Bug Club, Preoccupations and Tortoise.

ERMINE FUDGE — Manchester’s resident mischief makers, sounding a bit like the Country Teasers meets the Beatles via a Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Featuring members of Starlight Magic Hour, Splint and Chermansog. Debut album Where Did All The People Go lands soon on Alphaville.
