Perth, Australia trio The Stamps (Sofia Hourani, Rubina Bertolini, Scarlett Graham)make coming-of-age indie pop that’s equal parts grit and glow. Built on the raw chemistry of three best friends, their songs turn late-
night feelings and half-brokenNmoments into something urgent, melodic, and impossible to ignore.
Their new single Maria (produced by Alex Burnett–Thelma Plum, Hockey Dad) shows the band at their most direct: punchy hooks, stacked harmonies, and a spark that feels both dangerous and alive.
With a sound that sits between the euphoric shimmer of MUNA and the scrappy cool of Royel Otis, The Stamps are fast building a reputation for shows that are sweaty, unpolished, and electric -proof that pop can hit hard and still feel personal

Marigold are an emerging new wave alternative band from Exeter, drawing on influences such as Radiohead, Fugazi and Pink Floyd. Formed at college, the four-piece have quickly built a reputation locally, with shows at venues including the Exeter Phoenix. Marigold’s debut EP Afterthought was released in July 2025 and marked them out as a band to watch. Now writing new material, Marigold are ready to travel, play a range venues, and make a name for themselves in the wider alternative scene.
