Media Puzzle FREE ENTRY + Second Born + Gravel

Media Puzzle FREE ENTRY + Second Born + Gravel on Thursday 13th August 2026 at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. Named after the Melbourne Cup-winning racehorse, media puzzle is the solo recording project of Lismore-based artist and musician Tom Peter. Over the past three years, media puzzle has released three scuzzy post-punk albums and two blisteringly short, high-energy EPs. Residing somewhere between Suicide's dark minimalism and Uranium Club's eccentric edge, the project's last two releases earned an exclusive vinyl feature at Rough Trade and a strong 8.0 rating from Pitchfork, which praised the project for its "DIY batter of post-punk and no-wave idiosyncrasies". Having carved out a space between drum machine-driven synth-punk and fuzzy scuzz-pop, the newest record marks a departure from previous efforts and hints at a maturing sound. After a year of DIY recording and touring, media puzzle returns with a fourth (and still somewhat speedy) album, New Racehorse. Moving beyond the drum machine-heavy egg-punk approach of earlier releases, this record is their most collaborative yet, blending oddball pop and garage punk. For fans of early Beck, Uranium Club, DEVO, and everything in between.
