Oi Nah @ Space Studios Norwich
A night of glorious noise comes to Space Studios – all yours for the paltry price of six quid.
OI Nah. Over the last couple of years, Norwich’s most cherub-faced hardcore merchants have grown into an absolute behemoth. Their live shows are sweaty carnage incarnate and if you are a fan of the pit, then you won’t be disappointed. The debit single, Before Death was released on Asinine Records in June 2025, and they’ve not let up since as a recent Wild Paths barnstorming performance will attest.

The Dodo Appreciation Society recently unleashed their debut full-length album, Animal Frequencies , which explores the full gamut of nature's wonders from the Sex Life of a Slug to the chaos of Wasp in the Bedroom (don't panic) through the lens of Beefheart experimentalism and pure unbridled noisejoy. The Northampton duo offer up an unforgettable spectacle that simply must be experience live at least once (and preferably umpteen times) in your lifetime. I promise that you will not regret this. If you missed them at The Holloway at Halloween, now is your chance to atone. And if you saw them, of course you want to see them again.
All hail the Dodo.

Mountain Peaks combine beautiful shimmering shoegazy soundscapes with manic barking vocals. Tenderness and brutality in a sublime screamo/post-hardcore sandwich. They’ve been carving out a solid reputation, playing shows the length and breadth of the country (including a recent jaunt across the water to Guernsey). Recently released ep, What I Could Have Been (I could have been more) has been garnering praise amid comparisons to The Used and the crown of heirs apparent to the emo throne appears to sit relatively comfortably on their heads.
Wrap your eyes and ears around the video for their single, I Am Not Happy (With Losing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2WDWG0ZdmM
Rudimentary Paste, Norwich's post-postmodernist foamcore wonkwranglers are endorsed by BBC6Music's Tom Robinson and will serve you a delicious bowl of noise-flavoured soup seasoned with an eclectic mix of daft fun, inside-out guitars and sneaky hard satire. Expect a wall of racket touching on Robocop, grief, bigotry, love, the awfulness of Brexit mythology and life in a Sea Cucumber's anus all though the prism of faded Hollywood glamour and the gritty menace of 1980s public service announcements.
No-one can protect you from the foamcore.
