Hard to believe we know but it is true, Kirk Brandon has now been leading SPEAR OF DESTINY for over 40 years.⁠

SPEAR OF DESTINY were formed in 1983 after the demise of Kirk Brandon’s post punk iconic rockers THEATRE OF HATE. (Brandon had also, before TOH, been the main man in every punk rockers favourite band of that era, The Pack)⁠

The current line up of Spear is the longest serving to date and features Adrian Portas (New Model Army / S*x Gang Children), Craig Adams (Sisters of Mercy / The Cult / The Mission) and Phil Martini (Jim Jones and the Righteous Mind) on drums. During 2019 the line up was boasted by Saxophonist Clive Osborne. Long time Brandon collaborator Steve Allen-Jones completes the band line up on keyboards..⁠

Post Pandemic has seen SOD play some fabulous club shows and festivals including sell out shows at the iconic 100 Club in London, Manchester Ritz and Glasgow Oran Mor. SOD's performances at Sign of the Times, Rebellion and Kubix festivals have heralded fantastic reviews “Festival Stealing Dream set” wrote The Northern Echo.⁠

Late 2024 will see Spear take to the road with long term friend Richard Jobson who will fronting a revitalised line up of the much loved Post Punk Heroes THE SKIDS. This amazing line will be playing close to 30 shows across the UK in November and December 2024, NOT to be missed.⁠

For SPEAR OF DESTINY 2025 will be the year of 'Janus”. Janus The Recordings are the choicest cuts from the band's two biggest selling albums, Outland & The Price You Pay. 24 tracks re-recorded and re-imagined, beautifully packaged and presented on Double Vinyl, Extended Double CD and Download. Janus The Tour will pull a set list from these fantastic new recordings.

There is something vivacious at the heart of Shanti Celeste’s work, a bounce, a swing, an uplifting lilt.⁠
Her career to date has been characterised by a contemporary, U.K. take on the classic Motor City sound. The expansive, emotional visions of the early Techno pioneers are reflected in Celeste’s open take to her craft.⁠
Her approach to production has leant her DJing a breath that has earned her a distinct enthusiasm amongst today’s electronic music base.⁠
This freedom is reflected on the platforms she shares her craft through - her regular NTS Radio show, and more recently, her label Peach Discs. These outlets provide Shanti with a place to amplify talent she meets, hears and wants to help along the way.⁠
Dancing, and the music that gets us there, exists to uplift, and in her life and work, Shanti is the embodiment of an elevated state.⁠

The band initially gained prominence in 2013 with their debut album "King of Conflict", which debuted #3 on the Billboard New Artist Alternative Chart and #8 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. ⁠

If you haven't already, check out Max's debut album released in June 2024 on (link in our bio) ⁠

“It suggests an artist of greater breadth and depth, with aspirations far beyond minor success – the musical design and complexity has more in common with ‘Pet Sounds’ or ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, in that it’s experimental, bold and ambitious. Give this man a budget and he will create recordings of true historical genius.” — Nightshift Magazine⁠

For twelve long days, Chuck Prophet waited. A stage four lymphoma diagnosis had knocked the wind out of him, dragged him off the road and into surgery, and now here he was, a perpetual motion machine forced to sit still, confronting his mortality for the first time as he wondered if he’d live long enough to see the end of the year, let alone get back on tour.⁠

“I was going through a tunnel,” he recalls. “It was dark. But I had music: music to play, music to listen to, music to get me out of my head. Music was my saviour.”⁠

That much is plain to hear on Wake The Dead, Prophet’s extraordinary—and unlikely—new album. Recorded with ¿Qiensave?, a band of brothers from the Central Coast farming community of Salinas, California, the collection dives headfirst into the world of Cumbia music, which consumed and comforted Prophet during his illness and subsequent recovery...⁠

Chuck will be touring the UK with members of his own band and , playing his classics along with tracks from the new album.⁠ ⁠

A need for experimentation, exploring new sounds and new ways of making music is the inspiration that drives HAAi, the Australian-born London-based DJ who released her debut album, Baby, We’re Ascending, in 2022 on Mute.⁠

HAAi, aka Teneil Throssell hosted Coconut Beats parties in Dalston which led to shows on Rinse FM and Worldwide FM, and eventually to a prestigious residency at the London club Phonox where Throssell played Saturday nights for two years (up until autumn 2018). As her residency came to end, BBC Radio 1 broadcast her Essential Mix which went on to win the accolade of the Essential Mix of the Year, and her monthly Radio 1 slot, which continued into 2020.⁠

In recent years, HAAi has toured extensively, remixed Kylie Minogue, released her own DJ-Kicks mix, and curated events in prestigious venues such as the classical music venue, BOZAR, inviting an ever-increasing fanbase into her world. HAAi’s taste in music is unique and diverse, revelling in tracks full of intricate detail and character. Her sets are infused with heavy bass lines – from breaks to thumping techno – as well as all manner of percussive elements.⁠
