About SCHØØL
SCHØØL was formed in Paris in autumn 2023. The project is led by Francis Mallari (Rendez-Vous), joined by Erica Ashleson (Special Friend, Dog Park) on bass, Jack Moase (Liquid Face) on guitar, and Alex Battez (Marble Arch) on drums.
The members came together to form the band they dreamed of in their youth, drawing inspiration from 1990s shoegaze acts like Swirlies and Drop Nineteens. Their music blends nostalgic guitar textures with themes of vulnerability and personal reflection.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
