About Lucy Bedroque:

Los Angeles based nineteen year old Jeremiah Mark (they/he) released their first full-length endeavor under the moniker Lucy Bedroque, their deadAir Records debut. With no prior singles, the breakneck seventeen track shotgun blast of Digicore and Hardcore Hip Hop, titled “Unmusique” has established them as a bastion of these underground sounds. The release date coincided with their first show on the Jane Remover and Dazegxd tour “TURN UP OR DIE”, along with a full west coast run.

Leading up to this moment, Lucy Bedroque gained a cult following in the shadowy sectors of the online underground, with a break-out debut LP “Sisterhood” as Lostrushi. This is the name that raised them to notoriety alongside peers 9lives, prettifun, and egobreak. The new material continues further down the same path, combining cutthroat rage, with the eclecticism and sensitivities of Stereolab, Radiohead, and Deftones.

While forging their distinct multi-media surrealism, Mark also found a penchant for customized linguistics and contorting the English language. Most notably, the title “Glutmother” (the name fans chose for a hyper-active Subreddit) graces the cover art of the debut and the packaging of “Unmusique. “The role of motherhood here is representative of a superiority to everything around it. But beyond humans, it’s a reference to mother nature and creation.” They explain. As for why it’s juxtaposed with gluttony, that’s because “People want more than anyone can handle, and I’ve responded to it with a perfectionist’s mindset.” They combine into a deep resonance of identity that’d easily evade a new listener.

About Bôa:

In 1998, British alt-rock band bôa dropped their breakout single “Duvet,” a sweeping anthem that went on to soundtrack the Japanese cult-classic anime Serial Experiments Lain. Nearly two decades later, “Duvet” re-emerged anew on TikTok, igniting a feverish renewed interest in the band (today “Duvet” boasts over 1b streams on Spotify alone) and inspiring bôa to return to the studio to record their first new music in over 20 years.

In between, the members of bôa have simply lived life. Their extended hiatus, which began in 2004, brought no hostility, no dejection, no gripes. Vocalist-guitarist Jasmine Rodgers studied zoology, alongside releasing solo music. Bassist Alex Caird threw himself into art, painting, and teaching music. And drummer Lee Sullivan ensconced himself in family life while writing and producing music. That time apart gave them a heap of life’s experiences for a new, third official full-length album Whiplash (out October 18, Nettwerk), a collection of melody-driven narratives. The album’s title is multifaceted, referencing their personal highs and lows, but also our collective cultural unrest. Whiplash, however, chisels away at both — envisioning a community in pursuit of solace.

Now with new music and as their TikTok fanbase will tell you, those universal sentiments — pain, solitude, triumph — immediately transcend any generational divide. And that’s how 25 years later, bôa feels impossibly new again. bôa is compelling proof that time is indeed a circle.

About Bôa:

In 1998, British alt-rock band bôa dropped their breakout single “Duvet,” a sweeping anthem that went on to soundtrack the Japanese cult-classic anime Serial Experiments Lain. Nearly two decades later, “Duvet” re-emerged anew on TikTok, igniting a feverish renewed interest in the band (today “Duvet” boasts over 1b streams on Spotify alone) and inspiring bôa to return to the studio to record their first new music in over 20 years.

In between, the members of bôa have simply lived life. Their extended hiatus, which began in 2004, brought no hostility, no dejection, no gripes. Vocalist-guitarist Jasmine Rodgers studied zoology, alongside releasing solo music. Bassist Alex Caird threw himself into art, painting, and teaching music. And drummer Lee Sullivan ensconced himself in family life while writing and producing music. That time apart gave them a heap of life’s experiences for a new, third official full-length album Whiplash (out October 18, Nettwerk), a collection of melody-driven narratives. The album’s title is multifaceted, referencing their personal highs and lows, but also our collective cultural unrest. Whiplash, however, chisels away at both — envisioning a community in pursuit of solace.

Now with new music and as their TikTok fanbase will tell you, those universal sentiments — pain, solitude, triumph — immediately transcend any generational divide. And that’s how 25 years later, bôa feels impossibly new again. bôa is compelling proof that time is indeed a circle.
