TTSSFU – Causing a stir – making waves – upping the ante
TTSSFU at the 6 Music Festival put on by the BBC this past March and recorded live on March 25.
TTSSFU which stands for (kind of) Tasmin Nicole Stephens was originally with the Post-Punk band Duvet before heading into solo territory.
Tasmin’s label, Partisan Records picks up the story:
Tasmin quickly went from being a mere fixture in Manchester’s indie scene to one of its fastest-rising stars, now poised to break out well beyond it. She watched as early releases like the mesmeric, reverb-heavy single ‘I Hope You Die’ – the lead track from 2024’s Warhol-inspired EP ‘Me, Jed and Andy’ connected at press and picked up steam to a point where, for TTSSFU to become a reality, it was now or never.
In a little over a year performing as TTSSFU, Tasmin has played sold out headlines across the UK, with support slots alongside Kim Deal, English Teacher, Soccer Mommy and more, plus packed festival sets from Green Man to the Great Escape. “I try to act a bit scary on stage,” Stephens chuckles of her frontwoman persona. “I’d always really looked up to Alice Glass and Sky Ferreira, cos she doesn’t move much but she’s very demanding, and also recently Ethel Cain. I like people who create a force around them.”
So you get the idea she’s on a lot of radar – she recently made an appearance at SXSW – so that gave her the extra added bonus of being watched over here.
A lot of high, positive energy is following her around from gig to gig. I get the feeling she’s going to be a household name before too long.
In the meantime, press Play and dive in.
