CRITCH x BUSES x Gravyboat presented by NMW

New Music Wednesdays are proud to present a showcase of the best local talents at the Lubber Fiend!

Alternative, punk and indie rock fusion coming straight out of Sunderland, CRITCH bring a presence to the stage like no other. Releasing their debut EP No Ball Games November 2025, they’re ready for a bigger and better 2026… Come experience the energy that these local boys bring.

Finding a place between Britpop, punk and indie rock, BUSES have cemented themselves as a local scene favourite. Off the back of playing the Globe and Bunker so far this year, the band are all warmed up and ready to blow the roof off of the Lubber.

Huddersfield based 5-piece indie band and gravy boat enthusiasts. Formed in 2023, Gravyboat's music is built on jangly guitars and infectious riffs to sing along to.
