*Short Waves Presents:* **\-SWEET RETURN** are a London alternative rock band formed in 2025. Their sound drags the emotional tension of Jeff Buckley into the heavier, distorted world of early Smashing Pumpkins, landing somewhere bruised, melodic and volatile. They joined Babyshambles as main support for the Nottingham date of their UK tour on 8 December 2025. **\-EVERGREEN** is a London-based four-piece led by Irish vocalist Sofia Tobin and guitarist Alex Dengate. Blending folk storytelling, 70s rock, and elements of Celtic mysticism, they explore grief, love, and resilience. Pouring their unguarded hearts into every note, they craft raw, haunting, and cathartic live performances **LEO WALRUS** At 24-years old, Leo Walrus is steadily looking forward. Developing his identity as a songwriter over the past decade, the Southend-born artist has settled in South-East London, navigating the city’s music scene with entrancing live shows at beloved venues including The Troubadour, Paper Dress Vintage, The George Tavern and The Old Blue Last. Since bringing out his first singles ‘Creeper Star’ and ‘Up Somewhere’ followed by his first full-length album I May Need Some Silence last summer, Walrus has gained the support of Hard of Hearing Magazine, Still Listening, Clunk, The Most Radicalist, Acute Pop, BBC Radio London and BBC Radio Essex & Cambridgeshire. Emerging from the insular time which defined the sound of his debut, sophomore record Moontime shows Walrus deepening his craft. The result is an expansive collection that encompasses both hopeful foresight and poignant self-reflections, inviting listeners to share in Walrus’ carefully understood truths and bright-eyed sense of wonder.
