For Bryde, (aka. Sarah Howells) 2016 has been a defining year, taking the music project to new heights and travelling down new sonic pathways. EP2 spurred many first’s for the artist: from recording a track in L.A, collaborating with brilliant Bill Ryder-Jones (of The Coral fame), a partnership with Tipping Point Records and the introduction of a […]
For JAWS album number two was make or break, we live in a time where success is fickle. Yes the B-Towners had amassed a strong, dedicated following but after a short sabbatical (that felt like an eternity) between their debut and their latest, it was uncertain that they would achieve similar results the second time around. But […]
Brighton rockers Grymm can be a behemoth of growling intent – riling and shaking with aplomb – then again the next minute, they turn around in gentle surrender, and what results is a beautiful reflection of the bipolar nature of their music. Take new single ‘OCD’ as the prime example, romantic tugs of guitar simper and tussle […]
London indie garage-punks Childcare are a devilish delight, only two tracks make up their online presence as it stands but this is soon to change in the new year, upon release of a brand spakin’ new EP, due out via Lost in the Manor Records. In a series of snaps captured by Wolf James at a […]

With each new reveal, taken from the recording studio and brought to our ears, we have become privy to the sounds of a band that are ferociously hungry and loaded with potential, new single ‘OCD’ works to further […]
Originality is easy to come by when an artist listens to their gut. Repetition and mirroring, on the other hand, are harder to avoid, so succumb at your peril. Today’s band in the spotlight need not worry because the music that Orchards craft is vivaciously and impressively of their own making. Only on their second […]
SuperGlu are a promising band hailing from Manningtree in Essex. When the collective initially formed, only one of the four had actual ties to music, but like the stars aligning when the foursome came together it was a match made in heaven. SuperGlu combine the uplifting joy of Clean Cut Kid‘s indie pop with the raw punch […]

Sydney’s Big White let us join in on the fairytale, as they uncover new visuals for single ‘Down At The Beach’. Filmed on location at an abandoned castle in Belgium, the quintet take a tour through its scared halls and vast grounds, it may not be the seaside spot of the title but it sure is breathtaking.
The night’s evening of music was hosted in Salford’s premier local, The Eagle Inn. Hidden in the small pocket of back-streets located between Manchester’s hustle and bustle of Deansgate and the glory of its 18,000 capacity arena, the quirks and charms of the venue-slash-boozer easily outweigh the rush that its counterparts provide. Working as the official […]
A passage of words set to a melody can wield immeasurable strength, and ignite within its listener a life-long connection. For the greats and the poets of our generations, a skill such as this one refuses coercion and falls naturally, and might even move millions in its wake. A song that has travelled the ages and continues to stir […]
Caro, to a point, still remain quite anonymous in the eyes of their audience. The reason behind this lack of familiarity may not be out of shyness for the spotlight but simply because the trio still are in all terms considered, a newly formed band. But that’s not to say that the Leeds trio haven’t caused […]
Launching in January is Clue Records’ very own singles club – Clue Club. Singles clubs are not unfamiliar in the record business but the way that Clue are approaching their subscription service is.

Kent band Bison Bonasus deliver off-kilter energy and brash schizophrenic time-signatures at a thrilling pace on lead single ‘Eddie’s Gone To Tel Aviv’, taken from their forthcoming new EP. With an opening that hints to The 1975’s ‘Love Me’, Bonasus jest at a harder, rougher venture than the Manchester pop band takes, soon leading into an artsier Spring King-styled stomp, we are offered nothing but […]

Which leads to a series […]
Irish trio whenyoung hit the bullseye with second single ‘Actor’ – a blast of distorted indie-rock drowned in lo-fi vocals and set loose with sugary pop hooks. The newcomers target self-image in a way that’s both bold and lightning fast. Concerned with the falsities that people wear as an act to dilute their own personalities, […]
