Belcher Miler Alternative Sound

Hailing from Hastings, Calista Morgan, the mastermind behind Miler, has crafted a sound that draws on Irish and Northumbrian folk traditions, as well as confessional indie, hazy shoegaze, and 1990s grunge. • Miler's music is rooted in traditional folk, with influences from Stevie Nicks, Florence and the Machine, and Kate Bush. • Belcher, on the other hand, is a three-piece fuzz pop band from Los Angeles, often compared to Slow Pulp and the Smashing Pumpkins. • The two bands will come together at The Hope & Ruin in Brighton on Friday, 30 October 2026, for a free gig, with tickets and details available via the button beside this article.

As Miler prepares to release their debut EP, Your Best, on 11 December 2026, their latest single, Betty, offers a glimpse into their emotive and introspective sound. With Belcher's high-energy fuzz pop adding to the mix, this gig is set to be an exciting showcase of alternative sounds, and fans can look forward to experiencing the unique blend of styles that these two bands have to offer.
