The Matchbox + Ravine + Imogen Evans – Friday 12th June 2026 | Sunbird Records, Darwen

The People’s Republic of Sunbird Records proudly presents another New Music Friday with more of the North West’s freshest musicians out there:

The Matchbox – Captivating lyrics of hope in the future, and live performances that breed escapism from the brave new world. Last year they opened a couple of shows on Twin Atlantic’s sold out UK tour. This year they joined The Hunna for a sold out show on their UK tour, in addition to an invite from Andrew Cushin to join him for a show in September.

Ravine – a four-piece alternative band built on raw guitars, heavy atmosphere and emotionally charged songwriting. Blending gritty alt-rock with modern grunge energy, their sound channels tension, vulnerability and release through loud, unapologetic live performances.

Imogen Evans- Lancashire-based singer-songwriter guitarist crafting powerful, emotive alt-pop.
