This Feeling Stage is where to catch the up and coming artists AND audiences. Nah, really, you’re probably rubbing shoulders with musicians and media/industry in the crowd. So many high profile names are spreading the TF Zone’s word, too.

A stage with a travelling circus of music LOVERS, dancers, moshers and smilers! Electric empathy makes for lively scenes. Pentire can attest.

Their set on the Friday of Truck Festival was our first taste of this “post-jangle” indie gang, live.

Pentire: Fun Facts

  • This Feeling Stage’s legendary host, John Kennedy found their name via toilet wall graffitti in a South London venue - if I remember it right.

  • Being named after a Cornish headland they dedicated profits from their single, ‘Water’ to the Marine Conversation Society. Ahoy maties, NICE one.

They’re from Herefordshire though. Hey, the South West of England is really HAVING it right now on the musical talents front!

Fun Acts:

With obvious Pentire fans crammed in, singing along (and at some point half the tent were on shoulders, it seemed) it was a memorable appearance.

Having played some great shows/supports - all while gaining national radio support - this was a key show of the band’s year.

The TF Zone strikes again with a winner!

“TRUCK FESTIVAL has been the festival we’ve all been attending since we were very young, and so to have rocked up and called ourselves artists for the weekend was so unbelievably cool.” (Pentire)

…and here’s half a minute of Pentire’s trademark bounce-punk joy captured at TheZine.UK Instagram.

They go again with more tour dates announced for this Autumn.

Pentire’s debut EP - ‘Out In A Minute’ - is out NOW!

Keep a keen eye and ear on what a difference This Feeling makes to the now and next of the entertainment world community from grassroots up.

TF Zone rangers are part of the newer wave of music industrious. The DIY sector that’s driving alternative rock scenes, passionately, seed the fertile environment. As a documentary of alternative art rocking movements, it’s crystal clear to TheZineUK. If this increasingly influential network recommend or stage an artist, add a song to the Best New Bands Spotify playlist, recommend, tip or collaborate with somebody, if you want to be part of something take a listen or at least another look.
