“I feel like this is currently the gayest place in all of London,” smiled Scene Queen as she looked out on a crowd as diverse as you see at metalcore gigs these days.

After nearly a decade-long hiatus since Treehouse (2016), electronicore pioneers I See Stars return with their long-awaited, highly anticipated new album THE WHEEL, a deeply personal and arguably ambitious concept album.
