This is usually the time of year when I’m really digging into the announced SXSW artists. No artists have been announced for this year’s virtual event so I’m feeling the void typically filled by listening to hundreds of random new artists a day. It’s the first time in what feels like years that I’m caught up on all the press releases and artist announcements in the inbox!
In the vein of music discovery, I’m looking forward to a livestream series starting next week on the Scruff of the Neck TV Twitch channel. Presented by BBC Radio 1’s Abbie McCarthy, it’s sure to introduce us to some rising British bands! I already spot a few of my 2020 faves on the list (Larkins, King-No One, Corella).
