f54 presents Gently Tender + 60juno

Gently Tender are a South London 6 piece band formed from the ashes of Palma Violets— Sam Fryer, Pete Mayhew and Will Doyle are now joined by musicians Francesca Brierley, Adam Brown and Evie Hilyer-Ziegler. Their sound is inspired by the british countryside - an indie rock band with lush harmonies and pastoral melodies - touching on folk, punk and soul. Having released a critically acclaimed, Matthew E White produced debut album in 2022, they’re launching new music in spring 2026.

Emerging from Merced, CA, 60juno leads the central valley post-punk scene with a blend of his own creation that sets him apart as he continues to establish a notable sound worth remembering. Taking the usual wistful, dreamy components of DIY indie-rock a step further into post-punk territory with heightened energy and rough, low vocals thrown on top merges 60juno into a lane of his own making. The independent musician is the sole driving force behind the bass, drums, guitar and vocals that seamlessly translate heavy nostalgia into deep, dreamy melodies.
