Huskinson
Nottinghamshire alt rock band with anthems that punch in the gut but keep their melody and groove.

A square, richly coloured digital illustration of a bald man staring straight ahead with a serious expression, his face painted as a Mexican Day of the Dead sugar skull. His forehead has a symmetrical pattern of swirls and a heart shape in red, teal and black on a cream base. Dark teal rings surround his pale blue eyes, the tip of his nose is painted dark teal, and black stitch lines run across his mouth and chin like skull teeth. More teal and red swirls run down his neck. He is completely surrounded by deep red roses, dark teal leaves and clusters of small red berries on a black background. Above his head, in large, bright red capital letters, is the word ALIEN.

A square, almost entirely red design. The background is a bright, slightly mottled scarlet with faint streaks and texture, like scuffed paint. In the centre is a very large letter V in a deeper red, picked out by heavy shadows along its edges so it looks cut into or raised from the surface. Across the top, overlapping the arms of the V, is the band name HUSKINSON in bold, heavy black capital letters, and at the bottom, in the same black lettering, is the title VERSUS.
About Huskinson
Huskinson are a Nottinghamshire-based alt rock act who came together around lockdown to record a set of anthems that punch in the gut but still keep their melody and groove. The band features brothers Rob and Chris Huskinson on bass guitar and drums, with Marcus Shaw on vocals and Andy Dawson on guitar.
They recorded ten tracks, and six of them make up their first EP, Versus. The tracks are classic, timeless alt rock and show off great musicianship throughout. Look out for regular releases from the band through 2026 and 2027.

Mary Jane
Full picture description: Mary Jane artwork
A square, richly coloured digital illustration of a woman's face, painted as a Mexican Day of the Dead sugar skull. Her skin is cream, with ornate swirls, dots and teardrop shapes in red, orange and turquoise across her forehead and cheeks. Wide dark teal rings circle her pale blue eyes, the tip of her nose is painted dark teal, and thin black lines stitched across her red lips suggest skull teeth. Long, dark, wavy hair flows around her face, decorated with big red and orange roses, marigold-like flowers, teal leaves and small red berries. In the top left corner, in large white capital letters, are the words MARY JANE.
