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.

PATCHWERK (DJ duo of inlowercase and big stu) will be soundtracking the later evening for this Independent Venue Week special. Expect a mixture of genre hopping chaos as the pair return to playing out for the first time in almost a year. There’ll probably be a fair whack of Tech House, Outsider House, Breakbeats, Garage and 2 Step, Jungle, Dubstep, and maybe the odd Disco banger.
All proceeds for this event will be going toward the Tin’s restoration fund.
Saturday 1st Feb – 10:30pm – late

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.

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.
