LISTEN: Great News – ‘Secrets’

April 3, 2016April 19, 2017Harry HayesComment(0)

‘Secrets’ sounds like the sonic embodiment of your favourite desert. It’s a sweet tune made by Norway based Great News. There’s some nods to Grimes in their choice of synths and melody writing; the wandering lead lines and wobbly pitches. The rhythm section locks the song tight, and gives it a bit of bounce – […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: Pandamic – ‘Heck’

March 31, 2016April 19, 2017Harry HayesComment(0)

Pandemic hail from sunny Oz and create wonderful beachy pop-punk. Whilst it’s stupid to ignore the influence bands like FIDLAR and Violent Soho have had on this scene, Pandemic still manage to chuck something different in with their track ‘Heck’. It bobs along with some nice harmonies (weirdly reminiscent of CSNY) and gritty guitars. There’s […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: EAT – ‘Byker Drone’

February 16, 2016April 19, 2017Harry HayesComment(0)

EAT are quite mysterious. All I can find on them on their social media, is that they’re British, and that ‘Byker Drone’ is their debut release. If J Mascis discovered caffeine, he’d write ‘Byker Drone’. It’s a wonderful piece of music, and very promising.

TRACK OF THE DAY: No Monster Club – ‘Lemonade’

February 8, 2016April 19, 2017Harry HayesComment(0)

No Monster Club have created a lovely indie-pop jingle in ‘Lemonade’. From what their website tells us it’s a one-man-band type thing; the product of a clever human called Bobby Aherne. There has been a string of other singles and album/EP releases from him, and soon a new album that is out in a few […]

LISTEN: The Oscillation – ‘Truth In Reverse’

January 29, 2016April 19, 2017Harry HayesComment(0)

‘Truth In Reverse’ is the lead single from The Oscillation’s new album, ‘Monographic’. It’s a lengthy choice for a single, clocking in at just under 8 minutes. Despite this length, the song is really minimalist in its approach. It centres around only a couple of ideas and just stretches them out into a scraggly fuzzed-up […]

INTRODUCING: First

January 24, 2016June 12, 2020Harry HayesComment(0)

First are a three-piece garage-rock band tucked away in London. I’d never heard of them and still don’t understand why not – they’re insane. First have nailed the ’90s alt. rock sound (think Pavement and tinges of early Weezer), but still they manage to put a little something of their own in. It has a […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: Tempesst – ‘Too Slow’

December 19, 2015April 19, 2017Harry HayesComment(0)

I can’t find much about Tempesst online as they’re pretty new, but from I’ve read and heard they’re worth keeping an eye on. They’re kind of like a sun-dazed Fleet Foxes, with shades of Tame Impala in the vocals. Their debut track ’Tidal Wave’ made an impact, earning positive reviews from DIY and NME. Their […]
