In Conversation with…NATALIE MCCOOL
Celebrating the wave of critical acclaim that has been guided her way recently, McCool has followed it up in the only way she knows how, by unveiling a new work – the empowering new single, ‘Fortress’. A tribal synth-led rallying call to join together and make a difference, as we ‘build our fortress.’ McCool is heading […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Charlie Cunningham – ‘Blindfold’
London-based singer/songwriter, Charlie Cunningham reminds us that there is beauty in understatement. His distinctly British touch is intertwined with the Latin flavours of the sun-baked region of Andalusia, sculpted from the years he spent living there. His newest offering ‘Blindfold’, lifted from his third EP ‘Heights’, takes his delicate introspection and rhythmic style to new soaring levels.
LISTEN: Swimming Tapes – ‘Souvenirs’

TRACK OF THE DAY: Albin Lee Meldau – ‘Lou Lou’
It was a few months ago when we discovered the haunting storytelling of Swedish singer, Albin Lee Meldau, when he supported AURORA on a string of UK dates. Now having officially launched his debut single ‘Lou Lou’, we can’t say we ever want to be free of Meldau’s beautiful rapture.
LISTEN: Grymm – ‘Jurassic’
I think by now, we all know that Brighton has become a breeding ground for the scuzzy noise of punks and rockers to vent their angst, and wail their lungs out across the city’s sandy shores, and we love them for that. Drawing our attention back to their windswept shores is the thundering call of […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: The DuBarrys – ‘Catch The Rider’
Brighton’s retro-leaning indie band The DuBarrys are back with their first new material since 2014. The band having regrouped and gained a new member, have come back stronger and more refined than ever before. Returning with new single, ‘Catch The Rider’, they are staking their claim on the emotive, ear-worm friendly title that’s been reserved for […]
In Conversation with…VITAMIN
VITAMIN are probably the most exciting new band you’ll hear that have emerged out of the indie pop world, since Foster the People came raging on to the scene at the tail end of the noughties. Their crowning glory is their new single ‘This Isn’t Love’ – a sharp burst of zingy melodic pop, that features […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: October Drift – ‘Losing My Touch’
It’s time to get serious, we have new music from October Drift, the first fruits to appear from them since the drawls of winter began. ‘Losing My Touch’ continues their assault on our defenceless hearts, with the band offering up an abrasive sonic shock of shoegaze gloom. Yet there are still glimmers of light that […]

In Conversation with…LOSTBOYCROW
Lostboycrow continues to inspire us with his eternally wide-eyed postivity and graceful electro-R&B, alt-pop. He recently released his stunning debut EP ‘Sigh For Me’ – a collection of emotionally-driven and personal stories about the power of infatuation.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Broken Hands – ‘Four’
Whoever says that creativity in music is dead, hasn’t journeyed to the outer reaches of our isle. Case in point, within the sleepy, commuter-friendly pastures of Kent hides a heaving underbelly of dreamers and creatives. Who’s progressive thinking, and real love for exploring the very limits of where self-expression and sonic inventiveness can take them, has […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: EAT – ‘Byker Lime Slicer’
EAT are still a fairly new band to our ears, but ever since they came crashing into our pages with their rip-roaring debut ‘Byker Drone’, we have been craving more from the illusive scuzz-pop rabble. And today, we finally have a new piece to the puzzle, coming in the form of ‘Byker Lime Slicer’ (we see a theme is starting […]
