Birmingham art-rock act Dorcha are a must-see; their ‘ISM’ EP was one of our favourite Brum releases in 2016, a headtrip of experimental, orchestral, gothic electronica and gut-punch drums. With a new album in the works this year and new single ‘Bruiser’ ready to drop, we’re impatient to get down to the Hare & Hounds and get an earful of their new material. Support comes from Nottingham experimentalists Rattle and the music art mash up of Adrena Adrena.
