Jamie Reynolds of The Klaxons has already pledged his allegiance, stating, “If the union does exist, I’m joining it.” Geordie Greep from black midi offered his own praise, adding, “It’s always nice to listen to good musicians.” Sharing the stage with legends like Echo & the Bunnymen, as well as rising stars Glass Beams & BALTHVS, shows the collective’s momentum has no signs of slowing. Radio heavyweights were quick to rally behind the music, with Tom Ravenscroft, Deb Grant, and Emily Pilbeam singing their praises on BBC 6 Music. Across the channel, major French players FIP and France Musique have also shown strong support, amplifying their sound across the airwaves.
