IVW: Ryley Walker
Saturday 1 February 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£17adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Ryley Walker began his career in the early 2010s, after moving from Illinois’ provincial town of Rockford, and settling into Chicago’s independent scene. After a slew of cassette and vinyl releases, Tompkins Square put out his debut album in 2014, which was then followed up by the Dead Oceans released Primrose Green a year later. His most recent album, Course in Fable, was released on his own Husky Pants Recordings label in 2021.

Having toured with the likes of Richard Thompson, and with a supporting slot for Dinosaur Jr. forthcoming—as well as a tremendous Bert Jansch tribute show behind him, wherein his hero Anne Briggs called him the ‘c word’—Walker has rubbed shoulders with the very best.

While, in the past, his desire to be as great as his influences may have dogged and hindered him from bringing his own personality to his music, now, Walker’s music is undeniably his. A mix of Twitter and sobriety may be partially responsible. “Music is an exciting thing I get to do because I’m alive and well. I take every opportunity I’m given very seriously; I’ve gotta pay tribute to that by staying alive and being as good to the people who love me as I can,” he said.

Sink or Swim presents Sacred Skin + Liminal Project + Hey Budapest!

£10adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Los Angeles-based Sacred Skin explore the vastness of spellbinding, anthemic pop music. The first single, Colder was released in March of 2021 and stole the hearts of dark souls everywhere with their melancholic undertones and pitch perfect songwriting. Subsequent singles landed them early live shows at LA’s Substance Festival and famed venue the Hollywood Palladium supporting AFI.

The succession of singles and live dates led to the release of their first LP, The Decline of Pleasure in May 2022. With its distinctive new wave arrangements and powerhouse vocals, the album is unlike anything in its class. Their use of early digital outboard gear and samplers, namely the Sequential Prophet VS synthesizer and the EMU Emulator II, retains a classic studio feel that is timelessly unique. Sacred Skin’s second LP Born in Fire was released on September 13, 2024.

Sink or Swim present Rats On Rafts + THE DSM IV

£10 early bird | £12 advance (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Being called the harbingers of the quote-unquote Dutch Invasion – an increasing number of refractory
bands from The Netherlands making noise overseas.

The Rats’ proclivity for things eroded by the decay of time has remained a constant in their rigorous hands-
on ethos. The Moon Is Big (2011) Tape Hiss (2015) and Excerpts Of Chapter 3: The Mind Runs A Net Of

Rabbit Paths (2021) are truly gripping timestamps of a band refusing to give in to the supposed ‘progress of
the world’ – first as hungry punk rock upstarts, then as fiery analogue recording dogmatists, and psych-rock
protagonists.
Instead of moving along with these volatile currents, Rats on Rafts stubbornly stand their ground in the
subterranean hollows where their creativity always seems to thrive.
New single ‘Hibernation’ is out 24th September on Fire Records.

£10adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Kevin Gibbard and Sophie Landers produce a contemporary form of
gothic post-punk, with songs that contain hook and lead tribal drums and euphoric guitar textures that frame introspective lyrics.

own style of gothic post-punk driven by vicious drums, distinctive
atmospheric guitar and melodic bass. In 2020, Black Doldrums
collaborated with Suicide producer, Jared Artaud who produced
their debut album Dead Awake. Their debut album gained critical
acclaim across mainstream media outlets, such as Uncut, Rolling
Stone and Sonic Seducer. In September 2023, Black Doldrums
collaborated with THE KVB who remixed ‘Dreamcatcher’ the third

The Tin At The Coal Vaults

2025 sees the return of tenebrous LIAR, for the best part of two decades eminent photographer Steve Gullick has steered this artful, brutal, yet simultaneously beautiful musical project through to the release of its imminent ninth album.

“Heart-wringing, ear splitting guitar wrangling” Mojo

“Rollicking rock and thoughtful pop” Uncut

Index for Working Musik emerged from the depths of an East End bunker in 2023 with Dragging the Needlework for the Kids at Uphole (Tough Love), a “Heroin Country” affair, followed by the experimental Indexe’e. This year saw the release of Purple Born, an 8-minute track that channels the likes of John Fahey and Polvo—leather boys, leather girls, and silly cuckoo clocks—and serves as the first signal of the future to come in 2025.

“Sexy and contagious”. Sounds of violence

“Their sound brings to mind John Cale’s drone effects on the early VU albums and the pink noise of the Jesus and Mary Chain”. Louder than War

Roddy Woomble
Wednesday 30 April 2025

The Tin At The Coal Vaults

With his enigmatic and poetic lyrics, warm baritone voice and consummate gift for a tune, Roddy Woomble is widely considered to be among Scotland’s best contemporary songwriters.

Over the sixteen albums that he has released (nine with his band Idlewild, and seven as a solo artist) he has traversed punk rock, chart bothering melodic rock, folk and

most recently electronica, with his most recent project Almost Nothing. Each one delivered with the humble grace that he’s become known for.

Roddy’s upcoming record re-unites him with songwriting partner Sorren Maclean and was recorded with contributions from family and friends, in an old church on the Isle of Mull.
