Cheerbleederz + Tiny Stills Announce April 2026 UK Co-Headline Tour Dates + Manchester Punk Festival Appearance
London indie punk trio cheerbleederz are pleased to announce a run of April 2026 UK tour dates with LA emo-rock trio Tiny Stills, along with an appearance at this year’s Manchester Punk Festival—tickets are on sale now, see below for full listings.
To celebrate the news, a special split 7” vinyl single featuring the two bands covering each other’s songs will be released on Alcopop! Records, and is available to purchase exclusively on the tour dates.
Worry not though, as both tracks will also be released on streaming services, with Tiny Stills’ cover of cheerbleederz bop ‘nail biters’ available from 18th February 2026 on all good digital service providers.
Tiny Stills are an indie fifth-wave-emo rock band from Los Angeles, California made up of real life friends who actually like each other; Kailynn West, Chris Clark, and Jenny Merullo. Their tour van is filled with Zyn, canned cocktails, and antacid for Kailynn’s constant tummy aches.
“We are huge fans of cheerbleederz and we loved being able to put our spin on their song,” say Tiny Stills of the split release. “I also learned I’ll never be able to scream vocals the way they can.”
“Their version of ‘nail biters’ absolutely rules and we are so grateful to have this all released on a 7 inch!” add cheerbleederz.
cheerbleederz released their latest EP, (prove me wrong), last year via Alcopop! Records, picking up support from DORK Magazine, Louder Than War, Punktastic, Amy Lamé at BBC Radio 6music, John Kennedy at Radio X, Noizze, Get In Her Ears, and more.
Another tightly-honed collection of irresistible DIY songwriting, the EP addressed broader themes of taking control of your own life and responsibility for yourself, and feeling disillusioned with growing older and apart from friends.
(prove me wrong), was recorded across multiple sessions with long-time collaborator and producer Rich Mandell (Fresh, Supermilk, Happy Accidents) in the live room at The Bookhouse Studio, London, and his new studio space in the same building.
The EP was the first new material from the band since the release of their critically-acclaimed 2022 debut album even in jest, which picked up support from Brooklyn Vegan, UPSET, GIGWISE, DORK, Noizze, The Punk Site and more, with multiple radio spins at BBC 6Music, Radio X, BBC Radio London and Amazing Radio.
Since releasing their debut, the band have toured with Fresh, The Spook School, and millennial ’Teenage Dirtbag’ sensations Wheatus, after front man Brendan B. Brown serendipitously discovered them on Bandcamp and became an instant fan. The band have also appeared at Manchester Punk Festival, 2000 Trees and TRUCK Festival, and recently completed their first European tour dates.
The trio closed out their 2025 with a short run of UK headline tour dates, followed by a run of dates with Washington D.C power pop outfit Dim Wizard.
