With the way that technology and music making work hand-in-hand today, it’s so easy for an artist or producer to start creating and releasing their own compositions. Particularly in a way that showcases their artistry, with the same degree of skill and competency that could only be achieved before in a full fledged studio. The revolution […]
Powerhouse soul is what Rag’N’Bone Man deals in. His gritty, street-trodden confessionals bare the weight of the soul, and within that it’s his emotionally candid way of expression that acts as a cathartic release.
Indie groove machines HABITATS impressed us with their first EP ‘Diamond Days’. Since then, the foursome have been gaining motion on the live scene, picking up support from the movers and shakers at BBC Radio, and in between that they have found time to travel to the Big Apple to record their newest and most […]
Re-invention is always good. It brings about a new way of thinking, it pushes creativity to the forefront and more importantly for the artist, it re-invigorates them. This is true for Joel Baker, the soulful singer has always been drawn to two different worlds.

Entice yourself into the twisting sonics of London duo Ardyn’s new single ‘The Garden’, taken from their debut EP ‘Universe’. Combining the crystal pop of Zella Day and the alluring melancholy of Lana Del Rey, this is their best moment yet.
New to the synth-pop mantle is FEELS. As yet, they only have two singles to their name and a blossoming fanbase, but the trio have built up a strong arsenal to lead with. Poised with a touch of the dramatic and a boldness to back it up, their electro-pop is undeniably refreshing and uncompromising.
Irish prodigy, Chanele McGuinness weaves classic and timeless themes of the difficult truths we experience in life, seen through a youthful eye but told with a maturity that is beyond her years. Her emotive debut EP ‘Already Gone’ introduced a brave new voice to the world – unfaltering and unwavering in earnest self-reflection about the world and the […]
Exeter’s Skeleton Frames are equal parts haunting and foreboding. The band’s sweet side is spearheaded by singer Emily Isherwood’s rapturous coo, that spirals in and out of focus, its her tormented yet delicate delivery that makes this band so irresistible.

Charleston four-piece Beach Tiger bring us a woozy cut of irresistible psych pop in ‘Just Woke Up’. Buoyant, lingering melodies meet chiming guitars, a bouncy drum beat and atmospheric keys in blissful union, ‘Just Woke Up’ is a vivid and honest admission of insecurity and self-doubt.
The purity of an artist’s vision can sometimes get lost in a minefield of opinions and strategy. And when that vision is blurred, it loses its original authenticity – the essence of what made it a true expression of the artist’s soul in the first place. So sometimes stripping back to basics is necessary. A return […]
Leeds band Black Surf have an unusual backstory – forming two years ago through the wonders of FaceTime and dropbox, which also involved crossing countries (between Leeds, UK and Sydney, Australia).
