Mock Tudors South Yorkshire’s answer to Buzzcocks meet The Sweet. Mock Tudors’ frenetic glam infused garage-rock oozed from the basement of ‘Delicious Clam’ in Sheffield in January of 2022. Since then the band have released a set of EP’s alongside a bootleg LP, toured extensively with the likes of The Bug Club & The Futureheads, and played live in session twice for BBC 6 music. With songs about everything from domestic recycling politics (Bin Day), to a PTA meeting gone awry (Nutbush Coffee Morning) Mock Tudors write it, so you don’t have to.

The band’s truly DIY approach sees them creating everything in-house, from music videos and artwork to handmade leather and ceramic merchandise. This band is a semi-professional Tudor cottage industry… just don’t tell the Lord of the manor.

Good News Sheffield’s resident wonky-popskis Good News released their debut album Small Forms via Bingo Records on September 13 – 2024 supported by headline UK tour.

First singles out the gates are double a-sides ‘Orange Juice In The Shower’ b/w ‘Tits’, a pair of tracks which set the tone for an album as bristling with lean pop hooks as it is with caustic socio-political barbs. ‘Orange Juice…’ looks at domestic relationships while ‘Tits’ looks outwards, dishing out withering criticism much further reaching than its 1:39 run time would seemingly allow. Treated bass and eczema-dry percussion carry the music, rhythm first, delivering taut missives accented by discordant clarinet and guitar. Good News epitomise the concept of making a point and not sticking around too long.

Recorded in a studio built in the band’s attic with in-house Bingo Records producer Zac Barfoot, Small Forms follows their 2023 debut EP Same As That, which earned the band a live session with Marc Riley & Gideon Coe (BBC 6 Music). Since then, their feisty clarinet, bass, and cowbell-propelled rhythms have bounced around the North & London supporting The Bug Club, Kid Congo & The Pink Monkeybirds, Wesley Gonzalez & Wild Garlic and Acid Klaus.
