Much like a teacher, Meryl Streek imparts his knowledge and lived experiences to all who are willing to listen.  His third album, ‘Stories They Don’t Teach You At School’, serves as an alternative form of education, delivered through a visceral blend of factual soundbites and raw emotion, loops and samples, guitars and bass. The lyrics resonate with core values of compassion, resilience, and community—themes rarely explored within a classroom setting or seen in today’s fragmented society. By prioritising conviction over commercial success, the Dublin artist’s outspokenness may invite controversy. Yet beneath the fervor lies a profound desire for positive social change at home in Ireland, and beyond.

Death Cab For Cutie Listening Party👂
We will be hosting a listening party for the new Death Cab For Cutie album ‘I Built You A Tower’ on June 5th at 12pm. We’ll have some special tote bags and stickers to give away for those who purchases the record on the day or pre-orders in advance.

Death Cab for Cutie is one of the definitive indie-rock bands of the century.

After twenty-odd years in the major label system, the band returned to their indie roots and signed with ANTI- Records and they’re back with their brand-new eleventh album. I Built You A Tower is the sound of loss, compartmentalization, and then grief bursting out from the seams. It’s also the sound of the growth that comes after falling apart, of acknowledging pain without letting it destroy you. “I see the tower existing on your emotional horizon,” Ben Gibbard states. “You don’t always have to look at what’s inside it, but it’s a reminder that it happened. You know it’s there. You have to face it.”

Some artists don’t ask permission; they just land in your gut and stay there. Some records arrive polished and pristine. Others bleed the moment you press play. On their debut album ‘Put A Smile On For Me’, the fast-rising London four-piece Keo choose the latter. Raw, bruised, and unflinchingly self-aware, their first full-length release captures the emotional fallout of love, guilt, shame, and self-destruction with a clarity that feels almost confrontational. The record captures a band documenting themselves in real time, preserving every fracture, ugly thought and moment of collapse without compromise. 

Blending grunge intensity, shoegaze textures and confessional songwriting, the record draws on the charged candour of artists including Led Zeppelin, Sun Kil Moon and Smashing Pumpkins, while carrying the lyrical directness and storytelling instinct of artists like Radiohead. Across its 11 tracks, Keo move between moments of towering vulnerability and total collapse, pairing brooding atmospheres with melodies that feel built to be screamed back in over-spilling rooms.

PRE-ORDER 🛍️
Gilla Band • Giraffe
Gilla Band are happy to share their first new music in nearly four years, the new single “Giraffe” is released by Rough Trade Records. The hugely original and influential Dublin four piece will also be touring the UK / Europe at the start of 2027.

Giraffe is the first new music from Gilla Band in nearly 4 years and to mark this the band are releasing a very limited 7” picture disc.

For over ten years now, the Dublin quartet — vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox, and drummer Adam Faulkner — have been redefining what you could loosely call “rock music” in the 21st century, influencing a wide swath of similarly forward-thinking guitar acts along the way.

The band perfected a vision that wasn’t quite post-punk, wasn’t quite noise-rock, wasn’t quite anything besides an idiosyncratic, ground-breaking hybrid that could only come from the four of them - Giraffe is their bold new offering.

EVERLAST IN-STORE 💨
We are excited to welcome Everlast to Jumbo Records, for a very special live performance and signing session to celebrate the release of his new album ‘Embers To Ashes’.

For entry to the signing session, pre-order ‘Embers To Ashes’ on black vinyl, clear smoke vinyl or CD from Jumbo. On sale tomorrow (28th May at 11am) Link in story 🔗

Everlast returns with Embers to Ashes, his eighth album and first in eight years; a raw, reflective collection that captures a life shaped by hard-won lessons, sudden turns, and moments of both triumph and loss. Produced by Yelawolf, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge and recorded in Nashville with contributions from songwriter David Ray (Jelly Roll, Teddy Swims), the 2026 release finds him at his most unflinching and emotionally direct.

Everlast is familiar. It’s not just that he recorded one of the biggest breakout hip-hop hits in history 1992’s ‘Jump Around’ with House of Pain or that he made the empathy anthem ‘What It’s Like’ from his triple-Platinum Wh**ey Ford Sings the Blues. It’s not the GRAMMY nominations or his win with Santana. It’s the way he redefined rap’s relationship with blues and rock, and the humanity he’s always brought to that sound. For more than three decades, he has documented life as he’s lived it from humbling highs to devastati
ng lows and on Embers to Ashes, that perspective cuts deeper than ever.

DINKED EDITION 417 🏷️
Grandma’s House · Baby You’re A Winner
Due 21st August via Brace Yourself

· Clear with black marble vinyl
· Set of four A6 art cards, with bespoke album iconography designs
· 16 page lyric zine compiled by the band
· Limited pressing of 300

‘Baby You’re A Winner’ is a perfect illustration of the elevated musicality of the album that bears its name. Linking up across the record’s twelve tracks with producer Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Perfume Genius, Yard Act), Baby You’re A Winner showcases a real levelling up for Grandmas House: more layered and involved than their trio of previous EPs - Grandmas House (2021), Who Am I (2023), Anything For You (2025) - with a greater focus on the use of vocals and harmonies to embolden the meticulously crafted arrangements. 

It’s the sound of the quartet - Yasmin Berndt (guitar, vocals), Poppy Dodgson (vocal, drums), Zoë Zinsmeister (bass, vocals) and Polly Jessett (guitar) - bringing a greater sense of nuance and space to their music, while deploying myriad genres to maximum effect. From the righteous, elasticated rock of recent single ‘DOG’ to the syncopated post-punk and brass blasts of ‘Dance’ and on to the chamber folk ambiance of closer ‘Spring’, Baby You’re A Winner is the most authentic, realised portrait of Grandmas House to date. 

The songs here navigate a precarious balancing act between sadness and catharsis, ultimately landing in a place of salvation - the product of the band’s tight-knit friendship, this album is their gift to the world, born from a period of grief and hardship but emerging from the other side with profound love and strength. It’s a testament that even when the odds are against you, anyone can be a winner. 

“We wrote this album about the existential crisis of going through life,” explain the band. “It’s about love and infatuation but also about grief and loneliness. It’s emotional, powerful, sad and a good time all at once.”

DINKED EDITION 416 🏷️
Formal Sppeedwear · Punch Card
‘Punch Card’ is the highly anticipated debut album from Stoke on Trent’s Formal Sppeedwear.

· Ultra clear vinyl
· Alternative colour die-cut sleeve
· A5 print
· Hand-signed & numbered edition
· Limited pressing of 350

Stoke-On-Trent’s most tuned-in and turned-out trio are releasing debut album Punch Card, which might be the avant-garde pop record of the year.
Driven by a desire for sonic collage and bolstered by lateral thinking, ‘Punch Card’ is a crafty lesson in how, with touches of masterful manipulation, the collision of opposing forces can cause sparks to fly and an irrepressible need to dance. “Our aim is to undermine anything leaning too far one way or the other. We shoot for homogeneity - if it sounds good and its component parts can’t be pulled out, we’ve matched the job description,” they say of finding balance in their desire to ‘pull the rug’ musically whenever listeners least expect it.
