LISTEN: Jack Jones – ‘Swim Up’ / ‘It’s Not My Thing’

August 2, 2018Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

Songwriter, performer and musician Jack Jones has always wielded an endearing sensibility, whether fronting rock trio Trampolene, or featuring in Pete Doherty’s Puta Madres as lead guitarist. Jones’ poetic lyrics speak of modern day life in a way that’s rarely voiced; his writings, witty and self-aware, yet yearning and gritty, but also sensitive and in […]

LISTEN: The Hubbards – ‘That’s Not Right’

July 18, 2018July 18, 2018Will WolstenholmeComment(0)

The latest from The Hubbards – ‘That’s Not Right’ – is a slacker-rock resumption of the band’s crafted peculiarities, as they continue to fuse twee-pop comments of social inclusivity and love, with the boot-cut DIY dynamics of grungy Seattle.

LISTEN: Stray One – ‘Remembering in Colour’

July 3, 2018Emily OldfieldComment(0)

‘Remembering In Colour’ is one of those rare tracks which enters, occupies and expresses a state of mind so much more evocatively than a string of words could ever convey. This is the latest track from Manchester-based musical project Stray One – consisting of Jay Plent and Benjamin Harris.

Listen

LISTEN: Bill Nickson – ‘What To Say’

June 18, 2018Paul CookComment(0)

We might as well get into it from the start. This is a startlingly good debut from an artist with a seemingly acute grasp of the kind of lo-fi Americana that festivals like End of the Road fill their bills with.

PREMIERE: Cosmo Problems – ‘Conversations’ (Feat. Lostboycrow)

June 1, 2018June 1, 2018Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

Life hits us all differently; we take different paths, we share in the experience; sometimes we find strength in others, but we must also learn to rely on our own ability to pull ourselves through. Along we way we find the power of expression and individuality, channeled through various means but each avenue distinctively vital. […]

PREMIERE: Dom Major – ‘Cigarettes & Beer’

May 31, 2018May 31, 2018Charlotte HolroydComment(0)

A Manchester musician known for his captivating songcraft and innately downcast ballads. Dom Major writes evocative music from a very personal place, his first release of the year—’Cigarettes & Beer‘—airs first below.

Listen Premiere

PREMIERE: Gabrielle Sey – ‘Break My Silence’

May 28, 2018Emily OldfieldComment(0)

Vibrant African influences burst through the latest track ‘Break My Silence’ from Gabrielle Sey—which airs first below—delivering not just a sound which is distinctly refreshing but commands a whole new rhythm to deliver a determined message: speak your mind, speak your experiences.

INTRODUCING: Peakes

May 23, 2018June 7, 2018Zoe PeckComment(0)

An interesting addition to the new wave of electro-pop acts coming out of Leeds is Peakes, the dreamy synth-pop three piece producing soaring, cyclic vocals broken up by sporadic, impatient drum explosions.

Listen

LISTEN: Kalpa – ‘B Side’

May 2, 2018Jacob Shoobridge-ChandlerComment(0)

A thumping throwback to a Seventies four-to-the-floor funky bass line sets the tone for this new single – ‘B Side‘ – from Bath quintet Kalpa. The cheekiness of the music makes you bop and walk with a spring in your step in the hope that it’s setting you up for a brain melt-down of songwriting […]

LISTEN: Oliver Manning – ‘Unclean Seventeen’

May 1, 2018Emily LeonardComment(0)

Introducing Sheffield’s own homegrown talent, Oliver Manning. A man with a voice touched by the influence of Lou Reed, and his music, driven by skilled sweet-sounding guitar work, Manning successfully pulls off the perfect balance of deeply felt and profound music whilst retaining an upbeat ambiance throughout.

PREMIERE: Youth Sector – ‘Strange’

April 18, 2018Joe AndersonComment(0)

Sometimes the expectation to be a normal, well-adjusted member of society is all so mundane and tedious. Sometimes collectively letting your hair down and dancing the night away is about as much elation and buzz one can get. Youth Sector promises this (plus more) with new single, ‘Strange.’

LISTEN: Bowery – ‘Psychotic Man’

April 6, 2018Joe AndersonComment(0)

Manchester five-piece Bowery are back with their sophomore single, ‘Psychotic Man.’ Stirring the pot further into dirty, hard rock hedonism, get ready for a riff-packed psychy juggernaut that punches just as hard as their debut single.

LISTEN: Lycio – ‘Evil People’

March 15, 2018March 15, 2018Will WolstenholmeComment(0)

Birmingham trio Lycio craft an enigmatic alternative-pop of contemporary class in new single, ‘Evil People.’ The bending track pins you to the best edge of your seat, as Lycio command an expansive sound set ostensibly beyond their three-piece capacity.
