Live – Winter Gardens | everyday saints | Rats-Tails at The Prince Albert

Winter Gardens, everyday saints & Rats-Tails at The Prince Albert, Brighton, 20th March 2025

A gentle start to the evening with London-based dream rockers Rats-Tails. At times, the vocal is almost whispered, which only serves to draw in the early crowd’s appreciation more. A few pops of psychedelia, and the clarinet inclusion, ensure the overall sound challenges the expected and adds some sharpness to the baseline etherealness.

Onto local outfit everyday saints, with some clear influences shining through from goth/alt 80s onwards, both sonically and visually. Plenty of darkwave leaning mixed with a bunch of palpably danceable hooks, the band manage to capture that integration of gloom and pop cultivated by the likes of The Cure and Garbage. Definitely ones to watch.

And for the headline slot, a very popular booking in Winter Gardens, and rightfully so. The band have continued to develop their signature sound which culminates in a fusion of melancholic shoegaze with some sweeping Lush-esque undertones. Latest single Anthropocene demonstrates their evolution to becoming one of Brighton’s most sought after acts.

All in all, a night that makes a mockery of those events that say they can’t find women to front their line-ups when there’s so much blatant gender-diverse talent around…
