Track of the Day

The latest release from 23-year-old storyteller Westerman follows the charming fictional love story about a girl he meets in the French town of Saint-Tropez – inspired by his younger sisters mispronunciation of ‘Misanthrope’. Sweet, right?

Brighton four-piece Yonaka won’t be forgotten in a hurry, as a lot of new bands come and go at the drop of a hat after the hype has settled. This bunch of rowdy rock luminaries are coming in heavy and won’t be told ‘no’ by anyone. Upon the release of their debut single ‘Ignorance’, the foursome […]

London-based singer/songwriter, Charlie Cunningham reminds us that there is beauty in understatement. His distinctly British touch is intertwined with the Latin flavours of the sun-baked region of Andalusia, sculpted from the years he spent living there. His newest offering ‘Blindfold’, lifted from his third EP ‘Heights’, takes his delicate introspection and rhythmic style to new soaring levels.

It was a few months ago when we discovered the haunting storytelling of Swedish singer, Albin Lee Meldau, when he supported AURORA on a string of UK dates. Now having officially launched his debut single ‘Lou Lou’, we can’t say we ever want to be free of Meldau’s beautiful rapture.

Brighton’s retro-leaning indie band The DuBarrys are back with their first new material since 2014. The band having regrouped and gained a new member, have come back stronger and more refined than ever before. Returning with new single, ‘Catch The Rider’, they are staking their claim on the emotive, ear-worm friendly title that’s been reserved for […]

Flaunting an American slacker swagger, ‘2AM’ is an earnest and endearing piece of music from Bear Hands, which throbs and chugs throughout with all the ache and emotional strain that comes with growing older.

Sometimes a track is lifted above its average-to-good trajectory towards becoming something more special by a single aspect. In this particular case Sarah Negahdari’s unique and soaring vocals provide an impassioned centre-point to Happy Hollows’ new single ‘Way Home’. A swirly-synthy build-up makes way for a driving alt-rock section, ushered in by the shiver-inducing first […]

It’s time to get serious, we have new music from October Drift, the first fruits to appear from them since the drawls of winter began. ‘Losing My Touch’ continues their assault on our defenceless hearts, with the band offering up an abrasive sonic shock of shoegaze gloom. Yet there are still glimmers of light that […]

Whoever says that creativity in music is dead, hasn’t journeyed to the outer reaches of our isle. Case in point, within the sleepy, commuter-friendly pastures of Kent hides a heaving underbelly of dreamers and creatives. Who’s progressive thinking, and real love for exploring the very limits of where self-expression and sonic inventiveness can take them, has […]

It seems as though for years there have been factions of British adolescents hidden away, listening to a concoction of psychedelia and grunge, waiting for the perfect time to emerge. Palma Violets heard the wanting wake-up calls, and JAWS awoke from their slumber to follow suit; it’s only right that RINSE join the party now.

EAT are still a fairly new band to our ears, but ever since they came crashing into our pages with their rip-roaring debut ‘Byker Drone’, we have been craving more from the illusive scuzz-pop rabble. And today, we finally have a new piece to the puzzle, coming in the form of ‘Byker Lime Slicer’ (we see a theme is starting […]

The force is strong in Leeds indie poppers VITAMIN. The band continue to churn out perfect doses of sparkling intent with each new release, and on current single ‘This Isn’t Love’, the foursome propel their pop train to even greater heights than ever before.

The shimmering and all-powerful psych of The Vryll Society continues on the experimental Liverpool group’s latest single ‘Self Realization’. Signed to Deltasonic Records (The Coral, The Zutons), the Kraut pop collective immerse the listener with another cathartically potent release. For fans of The Verve to Stone Roses and The Horrors, The Vryll Society combines the […]

Comparing love and drugs; The Beatles did it, so did Roxy Music and Justin Timberlake to name but a few. With a sound so cool you’d think the studio was a fridge, Private Island set themselves apart from the rest with a smooth ride through their Californian dream.

Augustines return with new single ‘Are We Alive’, their first release in two years, and it’s a jubilant homecoming.

Stockholm’s Oracle North capture the atmospheric in new single ‘Communion’. A stark but immensely mesmeric electro-indie haunter, its patchwork of sounds will linger long after listening.

Creativity runs in Shaddad’s blood. Descending from a long line of artists and poets, dating as far back as the 1800’s, it’s not hard to fathom why Shaddad herself, is a remarkable songwriter and artist. Her latest ‘Run’, the title track from her new EP, is a sweeping but immensely intimate warning note to a […]

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.

Today’s newest burst of awesomeness comes from Kent band Dreamweaver, and the first single to be taken from their debut EP ‘Listless Fruition’. Recorded with Indoor Pets‘ James Simpson, the collaboration brings together a collective love for lo-fi, psych-pop.

Happiness is a beautiful thing. It can change our whole outlook and lift our mood, radiating positively in all that we do. The first single to be taken from Canadian troubadour Jon Bryant’s new album, ‘Twenty Something’, is reaching for a ray of hope. In essence, it is grasping for that glimmer of ‘Light’ within.
