Criolo
Brazilian hip hop
Tue 10 Sep
Brazilian songwriter and performer Criolo draws influence from his love of samba, afrobeat, reggae and his life growing up in a favela in Sao Paulo. Politically and culturally motivated, Criolo is a rapper, composer and urban poet whose voice resounds with the youth of post-slump Brazil, exploring stories of poverty, police violence and social discrimination.

 My Vitriol
Reunion show
Fri 01 Nov
UK-based My Vitriol were formed when Sri Lankan-born singer/songwriter Som Wardner met drummer Ravi Kesavaram at UCL. With a name inspired by a character in the Graham Green novel Bright Rock, the yet unsigned duo has put together a demo EP which was promptly discovered by Radio 1 and sparked media interest. They finished uni and guitarist Seth Taylor and bassist Carolyn Bannister joined the fold. Back from hiatus, they're playing a special show in November.
 Frankie Cosmos
Indie pop
Tue 22 Oct
Guided by the short, sweet, and self-conscious guitar pop of singer/songwriter Greta Kline, indie pop group Frankie Cosmos started as a prolific home-based solo project in the early 2010s and grew into a full band. Their melting confessionals and soft, mellow sound will grace the Islington Assembly Hall stage this Autumn.

 Chastity Belt
Feminist rock
Thu 24 Oct
The four-piece take cues from both the politics of the riot grrrl scene and the intricate moody guitar-based sounds of early-90s Pacific Northwestern indie bands like Sleater-Kinney and Autoclave. Moody and personal as ever, Chastity Belt manage to integrate their irreverent humour into their seemingly serious musical presence as they take a comic approach to feminine stereotypes and customs in their lyrics, challenging gender norms and femininity as a construct.
 Babeheaven
UK neo-soul
Wed 30 Oct
Babeheaven have established themselves as one of London's most exciting neo-soul artists. Having toured with the likes of Loyle Carner, and The Japanese House, they have gone on to sell out headline shows at Scala and Jazz Cafe. Now it's time for them to bring their laid back soul to Islington Assembly Hall.
