**Rough Trade Recommends presents: Sarah Meth + Roscoe Roscoe + LOLA\*** **\*Curated by Sarah Meth** Rough Trade's monthly new music showcase returns with some of the best up-and-coming acts in the alternative scene. **Sarah Meth** Sarah Meth is a London born artist, producer and songwriter. Her broad range of influences, from Karen Dalton to Nina Simone to Alex G, are evident in her songwriting, which melds a lyrical frankness and vulnerability with a playful pop sensibility. Mostly written from her bedroom, Sarah’s songs paint an intimate and relatable picture of modern life and romance with a wry smile and a dark sense of humour. From touring with King Krule to playing 2025’s Green Man Rising Stage and tipped by the Guardian as one to watch, Sarah’s star is firmly in ascendance. **Roscoe Roscoe** East London’s Roscoe Roscoe fuse the epic, ’wall-of-sound’ guitars of Shoegaze and Post Rock combined with massive instrumental compositions, drawing sonic influences from 90’s genre pioneers ‘My Bloody Valentine’ & ‘Sigur Ros’, to the vast, acoustic arrangements of The Beach Boys’ ‘Pet Sounds’ **LOLA** A London-based three-piece channeling the minimalism and intensity of early post-punk and avant-garde movements. LOLA released their debut single, I Hope the Sky Is Grey When I Wake Up, in 2023 and will release their first album later this year.
