spacecadetbloom
spacecadetbloom are a Sunderland-based shoegaze band. Their music is a shimmering blend of dreamy textures, heartfelt lyricism and fuzzy, grunge-inspired sounds with relentless drumming and anthemic choruses. Their influences range from ethereal trailblazers like slowdive and Cocteau Twins to modern day bands like Title Fight and Split Chain, fusing the sounds of the past and present with their own eclectic tastes. A rapidly growing audience of fans with an appetite for 90s alternative and grunge has begun to form around this four-piece as they continue to captivate audiences wherever they go.
The Last Time
The Last Time are a 4 piece rising indie-pop band from Sunderland. Over the past few years, they have made their mark on the local music scene with performances at venues such as Independent and The Bunker, where they supported Tom A. Smith, as well as appearances at Waves Festival, the BBC Introducing Stage at Redcar Kite Festival and most recently, the Mercury Prize Fringe Week at Pop Recs.
The band have been supported continuously by Sunderland’s Young Musician’s Project, which has previously had close links with local artists including Faye Fantarrow, Isabel Maria and Eve Cole.
The Last Time recorded their debut single, “Feel It Now,” with rising Newcastle-based producer Josh Ingledew at Blank Studios towards the end of 2024. Released on 11th April alongside a launch show at The Ship Isis in Sunderland, the single was extremely well received and also received BBC Introducing airplay. With their second single, “Getting Older,” looming, The Last Time continue to gain momentum and expand their presence in the region.
