‘Blow Your Mind’ would have been a hard tune to follow on from, for any artist. Yet Stockport four-piece Kashmere have excelled even themselves with their dynamic new track ‘Porcelain’.

TRACK OF THE DAY: Alice Merton – ‘No Roots’
Meet songwriting extraordinaire Alice Merton, the singer has lived the life of a nomad since she can remember. Although the life of a traveller isn’t as rose-tinted as we may perceive it to be; always on the move, transitory by nature, never quite existing in a place for long enough to seal in lifelong ties […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Indoor Pets – ‘Barbiturates’
The Sittingbourne troop of rowdy pop shakers return with a bang in their one-man race to scuzzy pop glory. The song is ‘Barbiturates’, and in Indoor Pets’ hands this means a rowdy, hip-shaking stormer of a tune.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Seeing Hands – ‘It’s True’
A follow up to their immensely well-received debut ‘I Knew You’ out earlier this year, Newcastle surf-pop dreamboats Seeing Hands have dropped their latest single ‘It’s True’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Mosa Wild – ‘Smoke’
Christmas – a time of year when emotions seem intensified, people longing for the company of a special someone, and often covering great distances in order to do so. A track which seems to capture the intensity of this sensation is ‘Smoke’, the new single from Ashford-based four-piece Mosa Wild; poignant indie which invites you […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Fuoco – ‘Drink Your Tears’
‘Drink Your Tears’ is the latest onslaught by Sittingbourne “wonk rock” two piece Fuoco and it is a baneful shark assault. It tracks the scent of weakness and descends upon your ears; eyes rolled back, mouth widened. The guitar and lyrics kick in with a mumbled chant – this is a distant disturbance in the […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Keroscene – ‘I Can’t Do A Thing’
Coming straight at you, and channelling 90s shoegaze and 60s revivalist psych-vocals are West Londoners Keroscene with their tune ‘I Can’t Do a Thing’, accompanied here by a suitably mind-melding video. Warm layers of fuzz give the track its backbone, on top of which glitchy lead guitars and wavy, hazy vocals deliver infectious melodies.
TRACK OF THE DAY: High Hazels – ‘Joined At The Lip’
‘Joined At The Lip’ is the new single from Sheffield four-piece High Hazels. Their music expertly combines both great craftsmanship and attention to sonic detail, and this is no different.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Team Picture – ‘Potpourri Headache’
To end off the year, Leeds band Team Picture emerge once more from deep within a genre pick ’n’ mix bag, of lo-fi white noise laden guitars, tranquil vocals, thick synthesis and math rock riffs. ‘Potpourri Headache’ is an exemplary performance of genre-mixing, starting with an atmospheric standstill, where nothing moves nor breathes. Nothing but […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Temples of Youth – ‘Divide’
“Awake a nation fallen, England we cannot sleep” – these lines alone have the power to stir something deep within the listener, drawing not only on personal unrest, but a time of political uncertainty. Music offers an assurance – in the new single ‘Divide’ from Temples of Youth – the electronic duo from Winchester show that […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: W.H. Lung – ‘Inspiration’
Opening with whirling synths and an aggressive pushing bassline, Manchester three-piece W.H Lung’s debut track ‘Inspiration’ is a 7-minute psychedelic odyssey that relentlessly travels from motif to motif, yet never straying too far as to be unable to return.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Luna Bay – ‘Smoke and Mirrors’
London/Wales based four piece Luna Bay are back with more of their moody undertoned indie-rock in the shape of latest release ‘Smoke and Mirrors’. A majestically eerie track with immense radio potential in which lead singer Connor O’Mara’s vocals are soft, powerful and still as distinctive as ever.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Grymm – ‘OCD’
Brighton rabble Grymm have begun to seep into the very core of our consciousness over the past year. With each new reveal, taken from the recording studio and brought to our ears, we have become privy to the sounds of a band that are ferociously hungry and loaded with potential, new single ‘OCD’ works to further […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Orchards – ‘Honey’
Originality is easy to come by when an artist listens to their gut. Repetition and mirroring, on the other hand, are harder to avoid, so succumb at your peril. Today’s band in the spotlight need not worry because the music that Orchards craft is vivaciously and impressively of their own making. Only on their second […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Opaeka – ‘Risk’
Brisbane based Roy Gordon is operating under the moniker of Opaeka, his opening induction requires little coercion. The sublime widescreen electro-pop of ‘Risk’ will 100% get the blood pumping.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Big White – ‘Down At The Beach’
Sydney’s Big White let us join in on the fairytale, as they uncover new visuals for single ‘Down At The Beach’.
