World News (uk), support: Terra Twin

With an eclectic set of influences from the ‘70s and ‘80s dipping into post-punk, indie-rock and shoegaze alike, World News combines addictive atmospheric guitar riffs with seductive, nonchalant melodies. Moody, punchy, and nostalgic, they’ve drawn comparisons to iconic British bands from The Smiths and The Clash to Dire Straits, wearing the past on their sleeve while remaining perfectly original yet strangely familiar.

Initially starting out as a bedroom project in 2020 when vocalist, and accomplished actor, Maxim Baldry was living in New Zealand, Terra Twin came into fruition at the end of 2021. Now joined by Lewis Spear (electric guitar), Jonny Thwaites (bass) and Alex Wadstein (drums) the quartet have released released their second EP 'The Recogniser' on Dance To The Radio.
