Opting to remain ambiguous and to only exist outside of the interweb, newly-formed foursome, October Drift have managed to create a campaign most would laugh at.

We were devastated to hear last year that The Civil Wars decided to call it a day, now even though the hurt is still there, I’d say Brighton’s Paper Hawk pretty much help to ease that pain. If the duo were to pass the baton onto any band, I’d say Paper Hawk are the perfect candidates. […]
Leeds/Hull indie pop outfit The Hubbards may be a band that I’ve just come across, but immediately after listening to a couple of their tracks, I have to say, I’m impressed.
When a songwriter can fit the term ‘pathetic fallacy’ into a song and give it meaning, then I think you’re onto a winner.

Having lovingly crafted music that sings out with a joy and a pain this is both perfectly imperfect and thoroughly […]

Brighton’s The DuBarrys have been on a roll recently, after unveiling the magnificent first track ‘Undress Your Soul’ from their forthcoming début EP.
