Alder x SMC Presents: PVC live w/ Tradwife / April Tapes

What to expect

Alder x SMC Presents brings PVC, Tradwife and April Tapes to Alder.

PVC are a Glasgow five-piece making their Alder debut; they play 90s grunge with post-punk and gothic influences, are fronted by Cara's distinctive vocals and give energetic live performances.

They have built a following in Glasgow, played sold-out shows, appeared at HOUSEGUEST Festival 2026 and on BBC Introducing, Off The Record and at Wide Days.

Tradwife return to Alder's stage with an energetic and unpredictable live show after playing there before; a sound engineer asked to rebook them and himself.

They are described as 'post-Brexit flamenco doom punks' and bring an unconventional but distinctive approach to punk.

April Tapes are a Sheffield and Chesterfield four-piece alt-rock band combining lo-fi, melodic guitar and mixed male-female vocals.

They take a DIY approach to songwriting and have appeared at Tramlines, Y Not Festival, Truck Festival and Alder multiple times.
