As It Is: Album Launch Show

As It Is bring their album launch to Liverpool on 25 July 2026 at Jacaranda Baltic. The Brighton-formed pop punk and emo outfit, now centred around vocalist Patty Walters with guitarist Ronnie Ish and bassist Alistair Testo, arrives with a new self-titled record and a set built for close-quarters energy. Expect sharp melodic hooks, confessional turns and heavier bursts that have marked their path from early DIY EPs to their work with Fearless Records.

Since 2015’s Never Happy, Ever After and its follow-up okay., the band has steered between fast, hook-led tracks and more emo-leaning textures. The Great Depression pushed into darker conceptual ground around mental health, adding a more theatrical edge and post-hardcore grit, while I Went To Hell And Back (2022) balanced urgency with slower, vocal-led contrasts. This launch show folds that history into fresh material, letting the new songs bite and breathe alongside the staples fans shout back. It’s a direct snapshot of where As It Is stand in 2026, channelling cathartic singalongs and a punch that suits the room.
