Sour Grapes Records presents...

Gaol Bird

Formed from the ashes of satirical post-punkers Cabbage, Gaol Bird is a fiery Mossley post-punk and indie outfit led by frontman Lee Broadbent. Known as a "UK anti-band bored of society's hypocrisy," they slam punk edginess into swathes of upbeat indie. After dropping their self-titled debut EP in June 2023, they've perfected blending Libertines-style 00s indie with fuzzy chaotic punk. Expect raucous live shows packed with fuzzy guitars, cataclysmic percussion, and frenzied moshing. Tracks like "Sober" and "I Fell In Love With A Girl From Llanfair Pg" have been tearing up venues, proving this project is a fiery prospect with massive potential for causing absolute carnage.

Divorce Finance

Divorce Finance are a 5-piece "fucked-up Americana" and post-punk band hailing from the wilds of West Yorkshire.Starting as a lockdown home-recording project, they have rapidly evolved into one of Leeds' premier live acts. Blending psychobilly sleaze, Cramps-style rusty guitar noise, and Tom Waits-esque thumping rhythms, they channel and satirise classic 50s-70s sounds drenched in Cold War nostalgia. The band's name stems from an overheard train conversation between a homeless man and a middle-class suit finding common ground in misery. Following the release of their "Live From The Bunker EP", they bring the loudest, most militant history class you'll ever attend directly to the stage
