SLEAZE #12: The Island, Alright (Okay), Dead Animals, Maryam

Transmission presents the 12th instalment of SLEAZE, a night of alternative metal, shoegaze, and industrial music.

The Island
The Island are a 4 piece alternative metal/punk band, with a touch a Prog, based out of Manchetser. They released their debut record Purgatory through trepanation recordings in 2022 (available on all major streaming platforms) and have been on a tear since playing shows up and down the UK.

alright (okay)
The four-piece garage rock outfit alright (okay) has a loud yet laid back sound. From their tunes laced with infectious hooks to their energetic live performances that'll make the next person think the people in the front row have just gone for a swim in the local pool, these certified sexy boys are ones to watch out for. Rumour has it that Dead Animals actually has a shrine dedicated to them..

Dead Animals
Dead Animals is the solo project of Ruby, the 'obscene queen' of industrial-glam-goth-pop.
Occasionally joined by fellow heathens such as Jane Black or Guy Jean, Dead Animals have crafted a look and sound that is both nostalgic and like no other.

Maryam
Maryam are a heavy-shoegaze band based in Liverpool. A band that on the surface might sound abrasive and loud, Maryam are a double-edged sword; unashamed to suddenly switch up to a laid back, balladic sound. Drawing influence from nu-metal and modern shoegaze, front-person Maryam Ismail’s songwriting is multi-faceted, and layered with a lifetime of emotions.
