As It Is
Few bands have left a mark on the UK alternative scene quite like As It Is. Over the last decade, they have not only perfected the nation’s uniquely despondent pop-punk sound but also pushed its boundaries, holding up a mirror to what makes this culture tick. Even in their absence, their influence could be felt in the very foundations of this special community.
Now, returning with their classic lineup, As It Is have re-recorded their seminal debut album, Never Happy, Ever After, in full. This new version is a celebration of their legacy, featuring a cast of special guests spanning generations of the global pop-punk and emo scenes. The album includes contributions from Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens), Lucas Woodland (Holding Absence), Brownsound (Sum 41), NOAHFINNCE, and many more.
The band will make their long-awaited return to the big stage at Slam Dunk Festival 2025, but before that, they will reconnect with fans in a more intimate setting, playing two exclusive warm-up shows. These smaller gigs will serve as a raw and personal reintroduction before As It Is step back into the spotlight where they belong.

High Regard
Female-fronted Hertfordshire trio, High Regard mix a pot of modern pop and rock, picking up traction and acclaim following the release of their debut EP ‘Peace Of Mind’. Having collaborated with members of Trash Boat and The Gospel Youth, High Regard landed radio play and Spotify playlists before performing two sell-out shows in their hometown of St Albans. The band signed to Elicit Music in 2022 and shared the stage with the likes of WSTR, As Everything Unfolds, Orchards and Drones.
