Bearded Theory 2025: Thursday Highlights
Here’s a visual shimmy through the Thursday action at Bearded Theory 2025.
And here’s what the press say about the bands we snapped…
- Adwaith: “Solas is Adwaith’s OK Computer, their Hounds of Love, their classic and fans new and old alike will enjoy every second of it.” – Joyzine
- CLT DRP: “With elements of punk, electronica and heavy pop, the band have created an uncompromising sound that’s uniquely their own. Live, they are a force to be reckoned with and will leave your head spinning and craving some more.“– York Press
- Eighty Eight Miles: “Leading a new generation of female fronted bands, Eighty Eight Miles are a colourful, infectious Indie Pop/Rock collective from the Midland UK.” – NottsRocks
- English Teacher: “English Teacher is intent on ensuring that in the face of prejudice, queer people maintain a key privilege: the privilege to laugh at ourselves.“ – Washington Square News
- Fat Dog: “Their sound has a completely unique blend that captures a grimey Punk spirit, injects some stanky brass textures and wraps it all up in a whirlwind of electro-synth madness“ – boot-music
- Jess Silk Trio: “…a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and she gets people sitting up and listening...” – Off The Tracks
- Midnight Rodeo: “Midnight Rodeo make dreamy, pastoral pop that veers between folky psychedelia (Jefferson Airplane immediately springs to mind), errant shoegaze or just four-to-the-floor rock that’s unexpected in places yet instantly welcome.” – Under The Radar
- Molotov Jukebox: “High energy party music with lots of influences they leave the audience happy but exhausted.” – FATEA Records
- The Meffs: “The Meffs completely owned the night and proved once again why they’re arguably the most important band in the UK punk scene at the moment.” – Northern Exposure
- W.I.T.C.H.: “1970s Zambian psych-rock icons are electrifying a global cult following with a riotous revival...” Spin.com
