FreeFall. are a South Wales indie/alt-rock band combining gritty guitars, melodic hooks, and high-energy songwriting.
Since forming in 2024, they’ve quickly built momentum across the UK independent scene, earning a reputation for loud, powerful live shows and an uncompromising sound that balances edge with melody.

In under two years, the band have released a string of singles and their EP Fire, gaining support from BBC Music Introducing, Rock Radio UK, and a range of independent music platforms while reaching listeners in over 100 countries.

Their live journey has already taken them to venues including The Globe, The O2 Academy, and The Exchange, alongside headline festival appearances across the UK.

With new music on the way and the band moving into a new phase creatively, FreeFall continue to build their presence with more headline shows and an evolving sound across the UK indie/alt-rock scene.

Live at Y Muni Pontypridd
PYROGARIC
Stage time: 8:20pm

Pyrogaric are a Welsh stoner rock trio. The band formed in Newport back in 2022 and have self-released three full-length studio albums recorded at RedRock Studios with Lyndon Price. Jamey-Leigh’s beautiful ’70s inspired aesthetic, drumming and powerful vocals lead listeners through enchantingtales of rebirth, war and loss. An undeniably impressive, unusual and attention-grabbing stage show. This atmospheric storytelling, coupled with driving rhythms, Keelan Powell’s heavy riffs and Jim’s commanding
baseline, creates Pyrogaric’s immersive audience experience without relying on effects.

Y Muni Pontypridd this Friday, first up we have The Poached!

🎸 Stage time: 7:30PM
🎟️ Tickets: https://awenboxoffice.com/whats-on/tiwn-media-ymuni-presents/

The Poached is an eclectic five-piece rock band, united by a shared belief in music without boundaries. The band blends gritty rock energy with lyrical depth and bold sonic textures.

Led by the commanding vocals of Dara Towoba, The Poached have built their sound around intricate guitar and bass lines, underscored by Wesley Kwok’s
razor-sharp drumming. Together with Aiden Hover, Joe Thirwell, and Laurie Harley, the group craft songs that are both emotionally charged and irresistibly dynamic.

Influenced by the raw power of Nirvana, the post-punk edge of Fontaines D.C. and the timeless storytelling of Fleetwood Mac their music explores themes of identity, defiance, and connection — always rooted in real emotion
and personal truth.

Following early buzz on BBC Radio Wales and packed-out shows in Cardiff, the band
has gone on to play well-attended gigs across the UK, drawing in an ever-growing community of fans. Fiercely independent and unapologetically themselves, The Poached aim to break down the walls of otherness in music
proving there are no rules to who gets to take up space on stage.
