While some bands are still grasping for that illusive spark of creativity to come, ETCHES defy the framework and charge ahead with their defiant, self-perpetuating artful indie electronica. The band are less likely to follow trends, rather they choose to set them. Upon sampling the fine flavours of their forthcoming release, their debut EP ‘Wall Of […]
A time comes occasionally when a much-needed voice cuts through, and of course in those times, we should take note and listen, and the debut offering from Bristol’s Fenne Lily is just that. Like the burgeoning promise that sparked Lucy Rose’s first steps, Lily’s assured musings are at once, pure and vital.
Long Tall Jefferson is a wandering soul. Moving from city to city, he imparts to others the stories of his own lived experiences and observations. One of those defining narratives being new single, ‘Old Friend’, which is taken from the debut album ‘I Want My Honey Back’, out 8th April.
Somerset rockers October Drift came blazing on to the scene in rip-roaring fashion, and continue to deliver hit after hit of impressive bouldering rock anthems and downcast ballads. So upon the release of their largest body of work to date – ‘Stranger Days EP’ – we just had to see what all the fuss was about.
Yorkshire’s Glass Caves are well known for their tireless work ethic. Whether it’s the trailblazing triumph of their self-released debut album, or the countless cold days they’ve spent outside on the streets busking, to the months they’ve spent slogging up and down the country on tour, the band aren’t afraid to put the hard graft in. Call it […]
Memories are powerful, acting as vivid recalls of the past. They can leave us wounded at the thought of a painful moment, and equally, joyful at the recollection of a happy moment. We each have our own safe havens that we return to, as we comb back through out past, from the people we’ve met […]
London-based Sarah Howells has formed a stronghold that’s impenetrable and vehemently powerful in her latest project, Bryde. Her words act as a guide, battling through all the pain, self-doubt and injustices that we hold against ourselves, so that we ultimately come out stronger and wiser after listening to her brutally honest and remarkably brave confessionals.
The country locale of Kent has been instrumental in bringing to our attention some of the most inventive, and vital musical contributions in recent times. Not least today’s band Tin Foil Astronaut, the collective led by Max Taylor defy limitations. Rather they choose to operate in their own dream space, from out of which their new […]
The metropolitan festival is back in the hub of the city, celebrating its 10th year running. And as you might expect, the team at Live at Leeds are making this year’s festivities equally special and memorable, with what is their biggest and most ambitious line-up to date. The music festival falls on Saturday 30th April, […]
Richard Walters is known for delivering breathtaking compositions strewn with tender sentiments and thoughtful lyrics. His voice carries an emotional weight that tugs at the heartstrings and yearns for connection, but it’s within his latest love note (‘A.M’) that we find Walters at his most vulnerable, and his most strikingly poignant best.
It’s been slightly over a year since Manchester-based singer/songwriter David Liversidge re-invented his musical identity and went forward under the new guise of LiVVO. Bringing forth a bolder vision and a more electronic-leaning sound, in which his signature personally-etched songwriting could flourish. Going through the motions, he realised the sound that he was achieving on […]
ECHOS found each other and have never looked back. Like a joining of two lost souls, they meet in the middle and form an equally powerful duo. Headstrong they may be, but boring they will never be. Everything they do is emotionally led and at the risk of sounding obvious, they have forged a unique […]
The DuBarrys are a band that we’ve had our eyes and ears firmly fixed on since they released their self-titled debut EP in the winter of 2014. A mixture of ambient tones and personally-etched songwriting addressed to finely-tuned indie pop production. Return to the present and the foursome continue to impress, with the release of […]
Ethereal, spellbinding, and forward-looking are the attributes of which London trio Wyldest have fully grasped within their sweet sonics. With the highly anticipated release of their debut EP ‘Dark Matter’ heavy in the air and a huge headline show at Dalston’s Servant Jazz Quarters next week. We had to take the opportunity to grab a few moments with the band, […]
Pop music with substance can be hard to come by, but that’s not to say that it doesn’t exist and equally, that it isn’t needed. Brighton-hailing newcomer to the pop scene is Olivia Sebastianelli. Her debut effort ‘Lighting Fires’ is a bright and uncompromising skyscaping pop song, that rests on its thoughtful approach to the genre.
Ireland is a beautiful place. Cocooned in vast valley’s, natural habitats, and the cascading hills that grace its landscape. So when thinking about the country’s musical endeavours, it isn’t a giant leap to assume that within its burrows, hide creative minds that equally spawn wonder themselves. And one of those brilliant minds, rests in the intelligent […]
Our favourite starry-eyed Londoners are back with the penultimate piece to be lifted off their debut EP. ‘Wanders’ is said track – a love affair of washy synths, sumptuous vocals, crisp beats and the push/pull twang of languid, reverb-soaked guitars.
