There's nothing quite like discovering your next favourite band, and for years our friends at This Feeling have been doing exactly that, championing some of the UK's most exciting emerging artists.
Since 2021, we've teamed up with the independent promoters for an annual Big In compilation, bringing together their picks for the year ahead on a limited-edition Blood Records pressing, while raising money for some very worthwhile causes along the way.
This year's edition, Big In 2026, brings together 26 tracks from some of the UK's most exciting emerging artists, handpicked by This Feeling as ones to watch. Pressed across two blue LPs in a gatefold sleeve, the release is limited to just 350 hand-numbered copies, with all profits going to Teenage Cancer Trust.
It's a collaboration that's always meant a lot to us. Our first release together in 2021 raised over £3,000 for Music Venue Trust's Save Our Venues campaign, helping support grassroots venues through an incredibly difficult period for live music.
Five years on, the idea remains the same: give emerging artists a platform, introduce music fans to some brilliant new bands and hopefully do a bit of good in the process.
Here's to the next generation of great music, and many more years of doing our bit.
Big music. Good causes.
