Artemis, The Iris Division, Blind Spot.

Artemis have been appearing in several Manchester venues over the last year, and have put out a number of singles and, most recently in December 2022, their first EP, ‘Disconnected’. Thoughtful and considered lyrics are accompanied by lush and catchy instrumentation. Have a listen at the link below. The band seem to be riding a creative wave and are already planning their upcoming release ‘Letdown’.

The Iris Division are a very new band who promise to present a colourful and trippy aesthetic. There will be flutes, there will be guitars, there will be drums. Set your mycelium coordinates here.

We also welcome Blind Spot to the Aatma stage. The band made their debut appearance at a packed-out Retro Bar at the beginning of May. Expect frenetic 70s-inspired riffing and impassioned vocals.
