(1) Now that last night's #FridayNightRockParty live from #SXSW2026 is done here are a few of the bands seen so far this year. Although they hail from Belgium, #TheHauntedYouth
were first act I caught at British Music Embassy. Massive, dark melodic sound done with high energy delivery.

"Twist and turn..." Euan Manning of Cork Ireland's #Cardinals
opening up a perfect @sxsw.com set at #SevenGrandAustin Thursday Night with the crowd favorite single. #WQFSatSXSW #SXSW2025

Finished up Monday @sxsw.com with Yorkshire artist
#Ellur at #BritishMusicEmbassy. Rousing finish for my day one! #WQFSatSXSW. #SXSW2025

Took longer to get settled yesterday than I planned. The night quickly got better with UK Merseyside rockers #TheKs
at the #BritishMusicEmbassy. Opened with their excellent single "Chancer". It was a short tight set that left everyone cheering for more. #WQFSatSXSW #SXSW2025
