TRACK OF THE DAY: Pure Youth – ‘Other Side’

June 15, 2016April 19, 2017Andrew ShelleyComment(0)

Indie. Indie. Indie. 2016 sure is the year for it, and it looks as though London based four-piece Pure Youth are the latest to get in on the act. No strangers to early-stage success, they have amounted large support from the likes of BBC Radio 2, Amazing Radio and featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday.

LISTEN: Foreign Air – ‘In The Shadows’

March 1, 2016April 19, 2017Andrew ShelleyComment(0)

Venturing out on their first headline tour on February 3rd, The Sherlocks bring with them a whole range of touring experience – having supported band such as Reverend & the Makers, Simple Minds and The Buzzcocks to name a few – yet they clearly ooze their youthful, energetic exuberance through every single chord.

ALBUM REVIEW: Cage The Elephant – ‘Tell Me I’m Pretty’

December 30, 2015April 19, 2017Andrew ShelleyComment(0)

Cage The Elephant have (thankfully) made their return and graced us with the maturity that was always in deep down inside of them. The band’s fourth album Tell Me I’m Pretty comes two years after the huge success of Melophobia – nominated for a grammy in ‘Best Alternative Album’ – and slots in comfortably alongside all […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: Pure Youth – ‘New November’

December 20, 2015April 19, 2017Andrew ShelleyComment(0)

Having been likened to such bands as The 1975 and The Wombats, Pure Youth have leapt into this ever growing cyclone of indie-synth pop, with absolute ease.

December 9, 2015April 19, 2017Andrew ShelleyComment(0)

As far as first singles go, ‘Free Animal’ by American duo Foreign Air is right up there. With the EP due to be released in February of next year, the pair have set themselves a tough act to follow.
