The final release roundup of 2024, before I complete the wrap of the year. The next one of these will be on the first Friday in January, looking what music is coming your way in 2025.

This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and events, keeps me up to speed, and indeed simply reads these posts.

06-Dec 2024 / Lauren Mayberry / Vicious Creature / Official Artist Store
Lauren Mayberry steps away from CHVRCHES for her first solo album, and it’s definitely a different sound (for the most part), but her trademark lyrical barbs are still present and correct.

/Upcoming/Livestreams/Gigs/Club Nights/Events

/amodelofcontrol.com continues to maintain an events calendar, but it has now moved to /amodelofcontrol.com/events – and is now a dynamic, searchable database, and you can add individual events to your own calendars. The listing has had a revamp and redesign (and I’m re-adding events, so it’s a bit of a work in progress).

If you have updates, relevant events for me, or want to tell me about something else, use the contact details above. It goes without saying that any gig or club still in the listing is subject to change at short notice, or may not happen at all.
