Friday 5th June at Banquet Records,

Admission will be via order number, please bring yours to the shop.To celebrate the release of the new album 'Louder Than Fate', Jared James Nichols visits Banquet Records to play an in-store set.With “Louder Than Fate”, Jared James Nichols delivers his fourth studio album and easily his most powerful and fully realized statement to date. Raw, unapologetic, and deeply rooted in the lineage of blues-driven hard rock, the album captures an artist at the peak of his creative confidence, channeling grit, groove, and soul with relentless intensity.Produced and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour, Amon Amarth, Uriah Heep, Steel Panther etc.), “Louder Than Fate” balances muscle and melody, combining thunderous riffs, searing solos, and emotionally charged vocals with a modern, punchy production. The songs move effortlessly between hard-hitting rock anthems and more reflective, dynamic moments, showcasing Nichols’ ability to fuse classic influences with a contemporary edge. Tracks like “Bending or Breaking” and “Killing Time” expand the sonic palette with subtle keyboards and cinematic string arrangements, adding depth without ever sacrificing power.Since his breakout debut, Jared James Nichols has built a reputation as one of the most electrifying guitarists and performers of his generation.

CUT YOUR OWN DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE 7".To celebrate the release of 'I Built You A Tower', choose a song from the new album and take part in the vinyl-cutting process yourself. You'll leave with a copy of the new album and a unique 7" lathe-cut single made will have a record lathe at Banquet all day, so you can get hands-on with the record cutting process - choosing 1 of 3 tracks (Riptides / Punching The Flowers / Stone Over Water), lowering the cutterhead onto the disc manually, and pressing play as your chosen track is cut in real time onto vinyl. It’s part interactive workshop, part listening experience and your opportunity to make a one-of-a-kind collectors item to celebrate the launch of the new DCFC album.Due to the time restrictions, we can only offer a limited number of spaces throughout the day and you must stick to your allocated slot - of course, you're more than welcome to come down to pick up the new album, some merch or any records of the back-catalogue we have in stock and witness some records being cut.Admission will be via order number, please bring yours to the shop.

Thursday 11th June at Banquet Records,

Admission will be via order number, please bring yours to the shop.To celebrate the release of the new album, Liz Lawrence visits Kingston to play an in-store set, please note: this is a performance set only, there will be no signing / meet and greet afterwards. There will also be special, event exclusive lyric booklets given away to attendees.Vespers, the new record by Liz Lawrence, is an album about tragedy. It is the record of a life and death, an act of devotion and reflection. Liz wrote the songs in the ashes of disaster: "It is dedicated to my beautiful sister Jessie and her too-short life.” Jessie was 35 when she died. Vespers was written over a period of three weeks, its songs coming in a short burst, all at once, six months after Jessie died. Its music exists at the borders of the before and the after. "If you want to understand the change in me, from the person who made Peanuts to the person who wrote Vespers, then this is it. Grief changes you. I don't recognise the person I was before."The demos for these songs were written simply and plainly, often first recorded only as a vocal, and later fleshed out on the old nylon-stringed guitar that Liz has had since she was 10 years old. Liz recorded and produced the finished version of Vespers herself, in the late summer of 2025, at Vada Studios in Worcestershire, close to her home and to her family. The studios are in a deconsecrated church, built on top of an old convent and burial ground.

Saturday 20th June at Banquet Records,

CANCELLEDTo celebrate the release of ''Still There's a Glow', Sweet Pill visits Kingston to play an in-store set.Sweet Pill’s sophomore album, Still There’s a Glow, is a resilient response to the mounting pressures following their breakout debut, Where The Heart Is. Facing exhaustion, the band scrapped early demos to prioritize mental health, ultimately crafting a raw document of self-reflection that vocalist Zayna Youssef calls “the hardest thing I’ve had to do.”Marking a significant evolution in their creative dynamic, the new album is the first written fully as a collaborative unit by Youssef, guitarists Jayce Williams and Sean McCall, bassist Ryan Cullen, & drummer Chris Kearney. Recorded at Gradwell House with longtime producers Matt Weber & Dave Downham, the record aims to bottle the kinetic energy of their live shows—performances that have earned them endorsements from stars like Hayley Williams and Doja Cat. The resulting sound is an elevated mix of math-rock intricacy, urgent punk, and heartfelt emo.In support of the album, Sweet Pill will embark on a global tour, headlining clubs and a woman of color in the alternative scene, Youssef hopes the album and tour will foster a judgment-free community for fans.

Sunday 21st June at Banquet Records,

Admission will be via order number, please bring yours to the shop.To celebrate the release of the new album, Swim Deep visits Kingston to play an in-store set."Birmingham hailing quintet Swim Deep announces their fifth studio album ‘Hum’, due June 19th via Submarine Cat Records. They also share first single ‘Pieces Of You’ — a defiant cut of alternative rock: roaring with clouds of distortion that bring a bite and rawness to its chiming melodies. Fresh and inspired from a sold-out tour across Thailand and China in December, and with an unexpected line-up change: ‘Hum’ is the work of a group rejuvenated, driven by their innate passion for music – even when the going gets tough – and sounding more confident than ever, whilst juggling the challenges of maintaining a grassroots indie band on their fifth album. Speaking on the track, lead singer Austin “Ozzy” Williams adds: “I had found a new writing partner at the full-time bar job: there stood J.J. Buchanan by the barrels of beer kegs we were hauling. A sharp songwriter and a soaring guitarist, who brought something fresh to this song and the whole sonic landscape that would shape ‘Hum’. Thematically, ‘Hum’ continues the life journey of ‘There’s A Big Star Outside’, which captured a transformational period for Williams – preparing for the arrival of his first child, but also the departure of his wife’s father.
