Over the past decade, few artists have embodied the unbridled freedom of punk like Skating Polly. Formed when stepsisters Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse were just nine and 13, the Oklahoma-bred band have channeled their chameleonic musicality into a sound they call “ugly-pop,” unruly and subversive and wildly melodic. With Kelli’s brother Kurtis Mayo joining on drums in 2017, they’ve also built a close-knit community of fans while earning the admiration of their musical forebears, a feat that’s found them collaborating with icons like X’s Exene Cervenka and Beat Happening’s Calvin Johnson, touring with Babes In Toyland, and starring as the subject of a feature-length documentary. On their double album Chaos County Line, Skating Polly reach a whole new level of self-possession, ultimately sharing their most expansive and emotionally powerful work to date.

The follow-up to 2018’s The Make It All Show, Chaos County Line finds Skating Polly working again with Brad Wood, the acclaimed producer behind indie-rock classics like Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville. As their songs journey from art-punk to noise-rock to piano-driven power-pop, the band matches that musical complexity with a sharply honed narrative voice that manifests in countless forms (ultravivid poetry, diary-like confession, fearlessly detailed storytelling, etc.). Not only the outcome of their constant growth as songwriters, Chaos County Line’s scope and depth has much to do with Skating Polly’s newly heightened clarity of vision. “All these songs are the most special to me of anything I’ve ever written, and I think Kelli feels the same,” says Peyton. “In the past I didn’t always write with a clear purpose, but this time I knew exactly what I wanted to say. We both ended up writing about the most difficult emotional experiences we’ve ever been through, and instead of being terrified of saying exactly what I was feeling it just all came out so naturally.” https://skatingpolly.com

+ Playing Alice: Playing Alice are an all queer all female disco-punk 4-piece from Brighton. Belting powerful vocals that glitter in harmonies, they mix catchy riffs and bass driven grooves to create their unique take on punk. Grab your dancing shoes and prepare to be blasted into a world where feminist and queer values reign supreme.

+ Ugly Ozo: Feminine rage, revenge, and supernatural horrors. Writing songs to be chanted around a fire under a full moon, Ugly Ozo offers the soundtrack to your ritual. Hailing from the Isle of Wight, Ugly Ozo (the self-produced brainchild of Jess Baker) has been creating ‘doom-gaze’ music since 2019, writing about themes ranging from Bob Lazar and the conspiracies at Area 51, to dreams of liberation through making out with the devil. Taking inspiration from artists such as Smashing Pumpkins, The Wytches, My Bloody Valentine, Pixies, The Breeders, and Pretty Sick.

Consisting of two sisters, lead guitarist and vocalist Jess, and her younger sister Boo on bass. Ugly Ozo will leave you feeling empowered, bewitched, and ultimately a bit freaked out.
