The Loose Cut are ambitious. Their sound cuts through the noise, it’s a thunderous call to the heavy rock of QOTSA. Unforgettable and wonderfully intense, the four piece are here to make their presence known.

TRACK OF THE DAY: Inevitable Daydream – ‘Drive All Night’
The esoteric Kent-hailing, now London-based troop spat out their opening statement last month to a celebratory yelp from all who were lucky enough to stumble on the slacker grunge of their delicious debut, ‘Gunblade’. Returning with a wistful slice of equally rambunctious labours, the trio unveil ‘Drive All Night’.
LISTEN IN // Flyte’s Barn On The Farm Festival Playlist
Flyte are a band who wear their hearts on the sleeves. Every little aspect from the music video’s to the press shots to the music itself is precious, honest and heartwarmingly timeless. These Londoners are big on harmonies and drench themselves in feeling.
LISTEN: Klangstof – ‘Amansworld’
James Brown preached that it’s ‘A man’s world’, Klangstof echoes this sentiment in the titular track of his latest double release. But ‘Amansworld’ is far removed from the tortured soul of Brown‘s classic. Klangstof rather captivates on a whole different level with darkly painted vocals, hypnotizing electronics and dynamic progressions.
TRACK OF THE DAY: NGOD – ‘Blue’
Appearing from out of the depths of Yorkshire is a promising young band named NGOD. The quintet hail from Bradford, and are primed and ready to make a name for themselves outside of their hometown. New single ‘Blue’ is a feel good, supercharged bolt of alt-rock that is no less indebted to its addictive charms […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: Billie Marten – ‘Milk & Honey’
It’s always a good day when we receive new music from Yorkshire teenager, Billie Marten and this time is no exception. While the title of her new single may suggest a raiding of the kitchen’s larder, here we find Marten overturning much deeper thoughts than ever before. ‘Milk & Honey’, as she explains is “a song about […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: FAIRCHILD – ‘Neighbourhoods’
The Aussies with a love for 80’s new wave are back. FAIRCHILD return with a new neon-blaring gem that is set to excite the long summer night’s that await us.

TRACK OF THE DAY: ISLAND – ‘Spotless Mind’

TRACK OF THE DAY: LYRA – ‘Rabbit In The Headlights’
Little is known about the mysterious bride in the photo. Was she abandoned at the alter? Maybe. Has she run away from her wedding? Possibly. Or is this some kind of fairytale, Gothic romance? Most certainly. It’s all up for contention. But let’s leave the matter of the accompanying imagery behind for a moment, and meet […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Yellow Days – ‘Little Palace’
Yellow Days defies convention. His compositions drift in and out of formal structures, rather choosing to feel their way, through the yelp’s and calm’s of his disarming vocal call. It’s indie at its most immersive and inventive best, with a soulful twist and the sway of free-form. Not often do we come across such ambition […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Inevitable Daydream – ‘Gunblade’
London-via-Kent upstarts Inevitable Daydream are making a name for themselves. Already revered in their hometown of Maidstone, the band since re-locating to London have set their sights further afield. And if their latest track is anything to go by, the revolution is imminent. The bloody and charred remains of gnarled refrains and violent feedback make for a […]

LIVE REVIEW: Nothing But Thieves at O2 Ritz, Manchester
Nothing But Thieves have achieved moderate success since forming – from touring with MUSE, their self-titled debut album achieving top 10 status in the UK Album Chart and sold-out headline tours across the board. Having long since escaped the days where they were writing songs in the confines of guitarist Dom Craik’s garage in Southend-On-Sea, no more […]
