Rubie is a songstress, composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Glasgow. Winner of End of the Road's Next Wave competition 2025 and one of The Skinny's artists to watch in 2026, she is building a reputation for her highly theatrical live shows, tender and sprawling songwriting and eclectic DIY production. Her forthcoming third album Like Bears is her most ambitious; across 10 glam inflected romps, sultry quasi bond themes and tearjerking campfire songs, it paints vivid pictures of the present apocalypse, from secret underground mutual aid networks to antifascist heist getaways.

poisonous relationship is the musical project of Glasgow-based artist Jamie Crewe, who sings, writes, produces, performs, and DJs. Rooted in feminine house, P.R. ventures into esoteric pop songwriting, experimental structures, and dance floor experiences both tender and demonic. Singing is key. P.R.'s discography is available for download at poisonousrelationship.bandcamp.com.
