TRACK OF THE DAY: Maisie Johnson – ‘Start Again’
Maisie Johnson’s latest single ‘Start Again’ keeps an alt-rock animal locked to a popified chain, as blues beats keep rhythm shuffling from side to side, sedating the track to a poison-power sway.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Oh Joy – ‘So Swell’
Having supported the likes of Pinegrove, Vant and Show Me The Body; Dublin-based angst provocateurs Oh Joy burst onto the scene with their new single ‘So Swell’. Combining pop-fuelled hooks and powerfully dynamic noise-rock soundscapes, it is a track smattered with the wry melancholia of grunge, and the sensitive and poignant lyrical content of artists […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Cassia – ‘Out of Her Mind’

TRACK OF THE DAY: Westerman – ‘Keep Track’
In the world of music, it is often those who shout the loudest, or those who unapologetically thrust themselves upon their audience that gain the most attention. This is all well and good, but you can only shout for so long before one runs out of things to be angry about. Just look at Iggy […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: Red Kite – ‘And Yet You Miss The Sea’
