The Reytons on becoming 'first unsigned band to headline Tramlines'

They said having been given the opportunity to headline Tramlines, which runs from Friday to Sunday, was "exciting"."I feel like it's going to be extra special because of the struggle it's taken to get where we are," Holland said. "There's been lots of doors shut and lots of people not on the phone and lots of emails not being replied to and we're finally here now and it's out of nothing more than absolute persistence."He added: "We are headlining it and we're going to put on the show of a lifetime."
Tramlines Festival said The Reytons topping the bill on Saturday was "another big moment for the local scene".Alex Deadman, festival organiser, said: "South Yorkshire is such a hotbed of creativity and music. Sheffield gets some attention but Rotherham is often overlooked."The Reytons have done wonders to help shed a light on this part of the world."He added: "Their show at Clifton Park last year was spectacular and their Tramlines performance will be a real moment to remember."

The K's Jamie Boyle issues urgent warning over music venues closing
The closure of grassroots music venues is threatening to derail the British music industry, warns The K's frontman Jamie Boyle ahead of a landmark performance at Hillsborough Stadium Indie band The K's admit it's harder for unsigned bands as grassroots venues face further closures. The band from Earlestown, located between Manchester and Liverpool are today playing The Sarah Nulty main stage at Tramlines Festival in Sheffield, enjoying the recent release of their second album, Pretty On The Internet. 'We're well excited,' said frontman Jamie Boyle. Speaking to the Mirror from Hillsborough Stadium, he went on to add: 'As soon as we finished our first album, our minds were set on the second.' Last year, their debut album reached Number Three, being beaten by Beyoncé and The Libertines. But should their album get to number one, what would it mean for the band? 'It means everything to us. We'd love it. We said yesterday when we did our album release show, there's still one box I haven't ticked for my first album campaign, as amazing as it was but to finally tick that box and get that Number One accolade to our name. 'But regardless, as long as we keep doing what we're doing for a living, making music we love, that's all that matters but a Number One, would be that cherry on the top.' Prior to the record being released, four tracks racked up an impressive four million streams, something the band struggled to get their heads around. 'I think when you see it on paper, you don't even think about it until you have to,' said guitarist Ryan Breslin. He added: 'It's unfathomable the number itself, you see it on paper and then you sit down and think how many people know these songs, it's crazy. I don't think you can actually visualise that community, so all that put into context, it's class. 'As long as people keep listening, as long as everything keeps going down so well, we'll keep doing what we're doing, hopefully it stays that way for a while.' However, they admit that during the creation of the record, they learned to mainly focus on nothing but the album process. 'Don't let anything cloud our vision,' they added. But having worked their way up the industry for the past decade, bassist Dexter commented: 'It's been a lot of hard work over the past ten, seven years. It's been quite hard work. Obviously we're getting to these stages, it's kind of like the fruits coming out of the trees now. It has been hard work but it's served us well.' More recently, the band have launched a pop-up shop in their hometown to celebrate the release of their album, with Ryan admitting it was 'cool' to meet the people who have supported them over the years and seen their rise to success. He went on to add: 'The streams on Spotify, it's hard to kind of comprehended when you've got 100 people still in a shop buying your albums. Yeah, it's a good feeling.' Living between Manchester and Liverpool has been a huge help for the band. 'You get more doors open for you when you live between massive music scenes. There are more venues on your doorstep, which is why it's such a shame. See so many closing doors on a lot of the venues that we started off playing aren't there anymore. Theres a lot of focus on keeping them open now which I hope succeeds.' One of the venues the band have played the most was The Leadmill, Ryan said: 'There's just something in the water.' Speaking about their set at Tramlines, drummer Nathan said: 'We can't wait I think was an extra buzz as well obviously, because we just dropped the album. So I think it's just going to be a little extra special on stage for us and for the fans as well.' Jamie added: 'I think it's going to be f**king mint. I think it's going to rock.'

What The Current Nostalgia-Fest Reveals About Millennial Power
Is there a hole in the space-time continuum? Consider the evidence. Freaky Friday (2003) is back, in the form of this year's Freakier Friday . Anne Hathaway is filming a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada (2006). Pamela Anderson, goddess of the Nineties, is everywhere. We're hooked on Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte (on And Just Like That , but always with Sex and the City in our hearts – 1998 to 2004, may it rest in peace). Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997 to 2003) is being resurrected, while Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson, aka Joey and Pacey ( Dawson's Creek , 1998 to 2003) have cracked open our jaded hearts by being photographed together amid reports of a new project. Oasis are back, as are The Verve and Pulp, and Topshop is planning a return to the high street. So what year is it anyway? And why are we swimming in pop culture from the turn of the millennium? If you're in your late thirties or forties, you're probably finding this déjà vu quite comforting. Here are all the shows, bands and stars we loved so dearly in the most tender years of our lives, and they've produced a whole load of delicious new content. Seeing these moments on social media and consuming them with our friends feels great too; researchers have shown that nostalgia boosts our feeling of 'social connectedness'. Still, the sheer quantity of it is a bit weird right now. Though we loved our teenage obsessions, we dutifully let them go many years ago; now we like The Bear and Pedro Pascal and Charli XCX. We didn't expect them all to come back. If you want to make sense of it, you need to know that people spend money more easily when they're nostalgic. Studies suggest that the warm sense of community makes our need for cash feel less important. No wonder TV execs, film studios and record labels want reboots: retro stuff is big, lucrative business. This glut of culture from 25 years ago, then, tells us exactly whose money they're after. Yes, Generation Z is enjoying it all for the first time, but the main target is an audience of millennials and Generation X. Last year, NielsenIQ and World Data Lab found that millennials (then aged 29 to 44) held 22.5% of the global population's spending power, and Gen X (then 45 to 60) another 23.5%. That's 46% of the world's spending coming from 41% of the population: we punch above our weight. It's good news for anyone who's been feeling a bit middle-aged. We're actually entering our most economically powerful years, or our 'The world is designed for us' era. Culturally, we couldn't be more relevant – you could say we've been rebooted.
