This Saturday at London’s 229. This Feeling will turn 20 years old. Armed with The Clause, The Slates, Fitzroy Holt, and Long Island, the new music promoter is celebrating in style.
To kick things off, we’ve picked out 20 of favourite tracks discovered via This Feeling gigs and festival stages. Check out playlist and reviews.
Lacuna Bloome – Plastic
Although they never hit the heights, this crushed the Nambucca and subsequently the New Cross Inn when we booked in. A supreme Anthem.
Cleargreen – Gone
Anthemic brilliance which made the Nambucca feel like Brixton academy
Pastel – Heroes Blood
Bands like Pastel are why you don’t miss This Feeling gigs. Watching the real deal from fledgling status to opening for Liam at Knebworth is what its all about
Holy Youth Movement - Information is Beautiful
From the ashes of the Shimmer Band to the Lower Third in Soho to Truck Festival with Jagz Kooner, they have ignited crowds!
The Crooks – I Wonder
From despair in lockdown to the triumphant Water Rats gig where souls wee laid on the line.
The Ks – Glass Towns
We’ve witnessed The Ks open a bill to crickets for TF, headline for them at Nambucca, Lower Third, and Lafayette now they’re all conquering!
The Bracknall – Fall Out of View
The band of the last 5 years. Great melody. Great people!
Big Image – Uptown
Great stage set up, great presence. Have always been heroes in the making!
Colour TV – Pavlova
Diving Suede and Smiths inspired joy!
The Velvet Hands – Chick Habbit
Riff making kings! Over tens years in the game with TF now, and yet still impossibly young!
Vega Rally – Infinity ‘93
The remix king occasionally steps on to stage solo and at Truck Festival he was resplendent in baggy gold!
Megan Wyn You Don’t Get It
Part of the TF family. Backstage, on stage, a joy to behold!
The Institutes – Better Now
A truly mesmeric band!
Colombia – This Life
A banger that covid curtailed, but has stood the test of time.
Spangled – Crank Up The Splendour
TF Records latest signing.
The North – Soundtrack Your Soul
Poetic throwbacks unleashing the beauty of teenage of life!
Sasha Assad – Cherry Cola
A truck Festival set for the ages. So unique, so distinct!
The Utopiates – Best and Worst Days
A stone-cold classic that’s headlined Trick Festival, 100 Club, and more!
The Lilacs – Vicarage Road
Currently celebrating a top 10 album, we first caught them in Good Mixer for TF with John Kennedy and The Rifles in the audience!
Fitzroy Holt – Around The Wrekin
The future!
