“One of the year’s most endearing and disarming indie rock records” Pitchfork
“Outstanding debut from Californian four-piece” 9/10 Uncut
“Mildred quietly lay the foundations of their own glowing world” 4/5 Mojo
Mildred is a band from Oakland, CA of four equal parts. They don’t have a lead singer, no one person writes the songs. The songs that make up Fenceline come together as a group with their genesis sprouting from any one of their members – Henry Easton Koehler (vocals, guitar), Jack Schrott (vocals, guitar), Matt Palmquist (vocals, bass, woodwinds) or Will Fortna (drums, production) – each time. The songs are often wrestled from the lead writer by the other three, a lyric might have been mumbled absentmindedly for a few days before one of the other three grabs at it. If you ask any Mildred member what their favourite part of Fenceline is, it will never be something they wrote. If you pin them down and ask them what their favourite part of something they did write was, it will always be something somebody else added to it.
This is what makes Mildred – in many ways a timeless four piece – so special. This wonderfully easy bond between four friends just hanging out and writing songs is so palpable its intoxicating. Summed up neatly by Clash Magazine saying, “imagine if Pavement went Americana and you’d be close”, Mildred make music that is pure and poetic, gently addictive and never overwrought. They describe the creation of the band as being born from “deciding that playing/talking about/thinking about music together is fun and something we want to structure our lives around as best we can”. Mildred is a vehicle for these four people to continue to spend time in each other’s company. Most bands are formed so they can get out of whatever diy space they start out playing in, Mildred was formed so they can spend more time there. mildredband.bandcamp.com/album/fenceline
Plus support: Hank Bee: Hank Bee is the solo project of Liverpool-based, Northumbrian musician Hannah Brown. Drawing from the folk and country traditions of the North-East while embracing the intensity of alternative rock, her music offers lyrical candour wrapped in vivid guitar-led arrangements. Performing alongside her band, their live shows have become a local staple, blending reflective songwriting with epic, emotive performances.
“You’re delicately being cradled by her songs one moment, and then they’ll suddenly choose to burst into life in ways that feel precise and not laboured, and for me, that’s the sign of a mature songwriter ready to have a major moment in the spotlight.” – Farout Magazine
Featured on the likes of BBC6 Music, KEXP, and X Radio and long-listed for Greenman Rising 2026, Hank Bee is one of the UKs most promising emerging artists. Originally from Morpeth, Northumberland, Brown moved to Liverpool in 2016 and has become a familiar face in its music scene. Her writing is shaped by place, identity, and a fascination with the beauty and drudgery of the everyday. https://hankbee.com
