It’s forever autumn in our hearts as the Hideous Panda and fierce panda indie label dynamos once again lurch into joint monthly action with another three acts of hi-octane indie Hope-a-Rama. We’re also delighted to announce ongoing support from - and indeed for - the Tonic Music Charity for Mental Health, not least because October 10th brings us the wonders of World Mental Health Day. Onwards! The Special Guests (onstage 9.30pm) need no introduction, primarily because we haven’t written one. LARLIN (onstage 8.45pm) barrel in from Brighton crafting emotionally charged alt-rock that sits somewhere between introspection and intensity. Fronted by Sheffield-born songwriter and vocalist Maryann Hoar, the lineup brings together a wealth of production experience, with Lewis Foord (Wet Leg, Kid Kapichi, JADE) and Cameron Nesbitt (Lovejoy, James Marriott, Tom High) shaping a sound that is both sonically rich, restless, atmospheric, and unflinchingly honest. Music for overthinkers turned all the way up, in essence. ECHO ECHO (onstage 8.00pm) deliver the double whammy of the grunge and indeed the gaze. Fresh from wowing the masses at Wilderness Festival their youthful pizazz is as wild as the seasonal winds. www.tonicmusic.co.uk
