Grandmas House

Baby You're A Winner
21.08.2026

Darf ich vorstellen?
Das Debütalbum des Bristoler Queen-Quartetts GRANDMAS HOUSE.
Die aus Uni-Freundschaften entstandene Band hat seit 2021 bereits 3 EPs veröffentlicht.

Das musikalische Post-Punk-90s-Alternative-Garage-Rock-Grundskelett wird punktuell mit Chören und Einflüssen aus Folk und Grunge erweitert.
Ein besonderes Alleinstellungsmerkmal sind die beiden kontrastreichen Leadstimmen von Gitarristin Yasmin (eher knurrend-heiser-aggressiv) und Drummerin Poppy (deutlich sanfter-heller-liebevoller).

Abwechslungsreiches Songwriting und Storytelling über vielfältigste Themen (u.a. Trauer, die Behandlung weiblich gelesener Personen im Musikbusiness, chronische Krankheiten, queere Liebe etc.) machen das Album auch über einen längeren Zeitraum zum Grower.

Wer Musik von Acts wie @amylandthesniffers, @lambrinigirlz, den ganz frühen No Doubt aus der Gwen-Stefani-Prä-Abdrift-Ära, @panicshack, @arxxband, @ditzband, @theebikinikill oder @marthadiy mag, dürfte an BABY YOU'RE A WINNER helle Freude haben!

Mal wieder besonderen Dank an Lukas @lasoundcheckpromo und euch anderen fürs bis
hier hin lesen.

Panic Shack (from Cardiff, Wales) performing "Tit School" last night at the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA. What an awesome show to be at the front of the stage for. The next time they come thru Boston it WILL be somewhere bigger, so I'm delighted to have seen them up-close, rather than in the nosebleed seats.🐝😊🎶🎵❤️

Hi everyone!

Over the last year we’ve been working on our second album. It’s called Runners, the cover looks like this, and it’s out on 30 October via @braceyourselfrecords

It's really intended to be listened to in one sitting, but if you’d like a sneak peek before release day, you can hear three songs from it RIGHT NOW on your least-despised streaming service.

We wrote and recorded most of Runners at our rehearsal space in Cable Street with our friend @markmarketstall as engineer and co-producer. We were joined on the record by the string quartet @amaliayoung_ , @gwynethnelmes, @freyahicks and @ramilda.xx, as well as @heather_roche on bass and contrabass clarinets. Our friend Rob Winter mastered it with Henry and Sam at a top secret location we will never reveal.

There’ll be three editions of the album: black vinyl, CD, and an “ice blue” coloured @dinkededition which comes with a bonus 7" and art print and will be available from selected independent record shops. We are massive fans of physical music and real-life record shops in particular so we ACTIVELY encourage you to buy from them if you can.

There’ll be a few events around the release if you’d like you to join us.

On 28 October, there'll be an online listening party on @bandcamp, where we'll stream the album in full and you can ask us questions in the chat while you listen. Or not. We'll post a link nearer the time.

On 29 October, there'll be a free-to-attend in-person listening party at @woodstbear in Walthamstow, where we'll be playing Runners in full straight from vinyl. Sam will be playing some records afterwards that influenced the album. Thanks to Simon and @__decca__ for letting us take over!

Then, on 4 November, we'll be playing an intimate show at a new venue in East London (located at 7 Church Lane, E11 - about 1 minute from Leytonstone Tube). It will be the first week of the venue and the name and details will be announced very soon. Afterwards, we will be taking to the decks playing a load of music we like. Thanks @mrtobyl for asking us to play.

In February and March we'll be on tour, but more details on that to come.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy what you hear. The Front Cover of Runners By Dog Unit. It is a picture of Dawson's Heights, close up and at an angle. The building is against a blue sky.

Dinked Edition Early Doors No. 12🏷️
Post Common - ‘Post Common’
Due 20th November!

• ‘Ice Plume Blue’ vinyl
• 2 x 145mm artcards
• Signed, numbered & debossed A5 insert

Today, new Brighton trio Post Common announce their signing to Brace Yourself Records alongside word of their self-titled debut EP arriving November 20th. The band, comprised of current and former members of UK DIY stalwarts JOHN, TRAAMS, Sisterland and more, also offer a first peak behind the curtain of their intense sonic world with the EP’s lead single ‘Space/Time’.

‘Space/Time’ lays out an effective roadmap for the unwieldy beast that is Post Common, comprised of Stuart Hopkins (guitar/vocals), Ian Humes (bass) and John Newton (drums/vocals) - a project that shares DNA with the trio’s musical heritage but that expands outwards taking in elements of electronic and industrial music alongside their love of post-hardcore.

Post Common were initially formed by Hopkins and Newton after the former moved back to Brighton and they hit it off over a shared love of DIY punk rock, particularly Dischord Records, but also a desire to play with more industrial and electronic flourishes, finding particular inspiration in highly influential New York duo Suicide.

At the centre of their sonic alchemy is the thrilling juxtaposition of Hopkins’ and Newton’s shared vocals - like a MacKaye and Picciotto of the verdant English south coast, the two play off each other to stunning effect. The former’s often yearning, searching melodies are perfectly counterpointed by Newton’s famed guttural bark as they trade lines that walk a fine margin between romance and dystopia, poetry and mundanity. It’s exquisite corpse songcraft at its finest.
