Song of the Week

SONG OF THE WEEK: ETCHES – ‘Do Nothing’

September 13, 2015April 17, 2017Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

ETCHES have always been situated in the left-field, alt-indie bracket. Although, this still may be true, their new single ‘Do Nothing’ with its woozy rhythms, stylish hooks and incredibly tight production leans further towards an irresistible psych-pop edge.

September 8, 2015April 17, 2017Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

Introducing Listen

INTRODUCING: First Pope

September 5, 2015September 28, 2017Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

The times when you stumble on a new artist and are instantly impressed, are rare. But when these moments come, you know your life will never be the same again. Music can change the way you see the world; one poetic refrain can lift your mood, a shared emotion can help you find solace. To me, a […]

Interviews

MY LIFE IN MUSIC: Indoor Pets

August 23, 2015June 12, 2020Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

Jaunty, nimble rhythms race against spry, chugging guitars. It’s clear that Indoor Pets don’t take themselves over seriously, but it’s because of that, that their liberating guitar pop is so successful, instinctively vibrant and genuine. Led by singer Jamie’s spirited vocal and off kilter idiosyncrasies, the songs are delivered with a zestful zing that could […]

Interviews

MY LIFE IN MUSIC: Storms

August 19, 2015November 6, 2016Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

London’s Storms combine the best of the 90s to create a sound that is utterly addictive and forthright in its attack on the senses. Abrasive, grungy guitars swirl with melodic Brit-pop, choruses soar and verses croon. Storms latest release ‘Shame’ is a stomping, virile beast – taut and swaggering with sass. It’s a hell of […]

Interviews

In Conversation with…FALSE ADVERTISING

August 17, 2015May 14, 2017Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

Manchester has a new buzz band in town, their name: FALSE ADVERTISING. It’s grungy guitars and fuzzed-up pop with twisted girl/boy vocals, simply too impossible to say no to. The band arrived on the scene early 2015 and have been busy establishing themselves as a live force, and now they’re ready to unleash their debut […]

Interviews

MY LIFE IN MUSIC: Sienna Chorus

August 14, 2015November 6, 2016Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

As the name alludes, the music of Sienna Chorus is rich and vibrant interlaced with majestic choral harmonies. Their songs are written as if they were screenplays of classic black and white movies, imbued with understated introspection and romantic gesture, stylishly delivered in epic cinematic form.

Interviews

MY LIFE IN MUSIC: Fuoco

August 12, 2015November 6, 2016Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

Noise has never sounded as good as it does when Fuoco are about. With conviction the duo torment the eardrums with their insatiable, lusty, grunge rock. On last year’s ‘Perverted Gaze’ EP, the duo delivered a melody drenched, squealing succubus of intent: primal and devilishly good. Trust me, just one listen and you won’t be able to […]

SONG OF THE WEEK: BANNERS – ‘Shine A Light’

August 11, 2015April 17, 2017Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

Liverpool-based Mike Nelson is BANNERS, he delivers sublime, grandiose pop. Having just unveiled his second release ‘Shine A Light’, it is clear that he is set on a path of greatness. A voice that equals the emotional intensity and touching beauty of Rhodes.

Curated Playlists

LISTEN IN // FAIRCHILD’s 80’s Playlist

August 6, 2015December 6, 2020Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

If you’re looking for euphoric, danceable, visceral, even at times aggressive indie rock, then look no further than the music of FAIRCHILD. Their latest release, AA-side ‘Nom De Guerre’ / ‘Hot Rod’ takes polarising turns, the former is a vibrant, guitar-led stomper whereas ‘Hot Rod’ fizzes with venomous intent over a rampant bed of synths. […]

Song of the Week

SONG OF THE WEEK: Storms – ‘Shame’

August 3, 2015April 17, 2017Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

London band Storms are back with a storming new track entitled ‘Shame’. A song that confirms why this band are unique, with venomous aplomb ‘Shame’ rallies an insatiable hook-driven chorus with blaring noise and writhing, rampant vocal turns in a flamboyant glam-grunge style. It’s a powerful statement.

In Conversation with…BROKEN HANDS

July 27, 2015December 31, 2019Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

Confinement and structure dictate most of our lives, so we look to other methods of expression to free ourselves from these mundanities. Broken Hands have found the answer and have set out to take us higher with their visionary sound. A fascination with flight and travel brought forth new inspiration for the band, which soon […]
