PIHKA IS MY NAME X IAN GX

Brighton-based vocalist lan GX and Berlin-based Finnish electro duo Pihka Is My Name return this July with a powerful new Double A-Side release, In A Breath and Spiritual, arriving alongside their debut UK tour and marking the next chapter in one of Europe’s most exciting emerging alt-electronic collaborations.
Following the atmospheric debut single Too Much Noise, the project shifts into brighter territory with two euphoric crossover electronic-pop anthems designed for festival stages, dancefloors and late-night drives. Blending cinematic synths, emotional songwriting and infectious hooks, the release draws inspiration from Empire of the Sun, The Human League, CHVRCHES and M83 while forging a distinct identity of its own.

In Your Ears Music Presents Wynona Bleach with Kained and Test Card Girl

WYNONA BLEACH Live In Manchester

In Your Ears Music Presents WYNONA BLEACH Live from Aatma, Manchester!

Fusing epic shoegaze textures with melodic alt-rock and dream pop, Northern Irish quintet Wynona Bleach officially formed in Belfast in 2018. Prior to this they toured heavily under a different moniker including Reading & Leeds festivals and a 10 date Russian headline tour.

In January of 2018, they issued their debut single “Eyes Burning ,” and followed this up with a self-titled EP “Sugar“, pressed on limited edition green vinyl under their own label “Madame Mazu”. 
In 2019/2020, weeks after being personally chosen as support for Alice In Chains on the Irish leg of their world tour, Wynona Bleach moved a full recording studio from Belfast to an abandoned warehouse near Coimbra, Portugal, where they lived & worked with Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral) to record their first full length LP “Moonsoake” – a release delayed by covid restrictions and vinyl-shortages.

The album was partly mixed by Grammy Nominated mixing engineers Avril Mackintosh and Andy Bradfield (Rufus Wainwright, Manic Street Preachers , The xx + more). 
 Ahead of their debut in 2022 they released 4 singles from their debut, “Glimmer“, “Drag“, “Aubergines” and “Moonsoake”and announced their signing to Fierce Panda Records . The debut album “Moonsoake” was released on Feb 18th 2022.

 Test Card Girl is a solo project by Manchester singer-songwriter Catherine Burgis. Having grown increasingly frustrated with an admin-based existence, Catherine performed her first gig as a solo artist in February 2020, with all subsequent gigs immediately being cancelled due to the dawning of the global pandemic. With live performance not possible, Catherine turned her attention to recording and released her first single ‘Holds Me Down’ in 2020. The single was picked up by BBC 6Music, Radio X, Absolute Radio and XS Manchester and she was named Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6 Music ‘One to Watch’ in January 2021.
