Under 18s welcome with an adult

It's like Nico fronting the Field Mice, until drummer Serra Petale stirs up a crashing rhythm that sends guitarist Mattias Bhatt and bassist Harry Deacon into overdrive, and everything turns a bit Breeders.

A genuine love of melody unites this melee, shining through on Best Friends or debut single Wonderlust and highlighting Emmery's lyrics about a yearning desperation to be someone and somewhere else. Kid Wave can play, too. Their tight four-part harmonies and aggressive drums are matched by taut, twisting chords the effect is harder and more thrilling than their debut album, Wonderlust, would have you believe. There's a nod to Joan Jett in the strutting I'm Trying to Break Your Heart and sulky darkness of Gloom. Brimstone is feistier still, with Bhatt playing hard and fast as Emmery, head down and hair flying, rocks out next to him. She might not be a household name quite yet, but the dream holds fast
