Strummer Room Records Presewnts... returns with a triple-bill of boundary-pushing live acts, bringing noise, groove, atmosphere and attitude to one of Banbury’s most beloved independent venues.

🔥 The People Assembly
Known for their urgent, politically-charged energy and sprawling post-punk soundscapes, The People Assembly fuse angular guitars, driving rhythms and raw spoken-word intensity into something both confrontational and danceable. Expect sharp hooks, restless momentum and a set that crackles with controlled chaos.

🌊 Midori Wave
Floating somewhere between dream-pop haze and motorik pulse, Midori Wave craft hypnotic, synth-laced tracks that wash over the room in neon colour. Shimmering textures, krautrock grooves and late-night melodies make their live shows immersive, propulsive and quietly euphoric.

🧿 Charms Against The Evil Eye
Dark folk mysticism meets fuzz-heavy psych — Charms Against The Evil Eye bring ritualistic rhythms, droning guitars and spellbinding vocals to the stage. Equal parts haunting and heavy, their performances feel like underground ceremonies designed to leave the crowd slightly bewitched.

🍻 The Apothecary Tap
Set in the heart of Banbury, The Apothecary Tap is a character-packed independent pub celebrated for its rotating craft beers, welcoming atmosphere and commitment to live music. With its intimate room, great sound and proper grassroots spirit, it’s the perfect setting for a night of loud guitars, strange sounds and new discoveries.

🎟️ Come early for drinks, stay late for noise.

Support independent music. Bring your mates. Lose yourself in the waves.
