Iowa indie rock group Halfloves have given an introductory peep into the world of their upcoming self-titled album. Their single ‘It’s Easy To Love’ manages to place you in front of a mesmerising explosion of sound. Not a conventional explosion though; more of a controlled detonation in slow motion.
LA-based revolutionaries Transviolet are stoking a bright fire with their outwardly aware world-view and empowering music. The band revealed their stunning debut EP at the tail-end of 2015, and now bring us another piece of the puzzle in visual form for new single ‘New Bohemia’.
No Monster Club have created a lovely indie-pop jingle in ‘Lemonade’. From what their website tells us it’s a one-man-band type thing; the product of a clever human called Bobby Aherne. There has been a string of other singles and album/EP releases from him, and soon a new album that is out in a few […]
Manchester band Easy Kill have been on the scene for a couple of years now, weaving their bittersweet imagery to great effect. Their ability to construct resoundingly emotional droplets of alt-pop, is akin to what I’d imagine, Elbow channelling the bespoke melancholy of The National would feel like – bitterly honest and profoundly thrilling. Easy Kill present […]
London-based, singer/songwriter Westerman, inspired by the time he spent in rural Tuscany, began to notice that his writing had taken on another form. A lightness of touch and resonating depth struck his melodies and his words, leading to the formation of his plaintive debut single ‘Harvard’.
What do you get if you put an indie riff, a surf track and punk attitude into a blender? From the sound of their latest single, the answer must be Indoor Pets. If there were any barriers between styles beforehand, you can be sure that these Kent lads have smashed them down and pissed on […]
London trio Wyldest capture the mystical on new single ‘Stalking Moon’, as their dream pop continues to know no bounds. The cut is a fully absorbing four-and-a-bit minutes of reverberating guitars, sensual voice, prowling bass and crescendoing driving melodies.
If you wanna know how music can be colourful, give Sleepovers a hearty listen. The brit-pop inspired sounds on their first single ‘I AM ME & YOU ARE YOU‘ has the radiant vibrancy of a jar of assorted gobstoppers, with no sweetness spared! If being told “you are the most beautiful girl I’ve met” doesn’t sweep […]
Fuzzy and moody, ‘Paycheck’ is the first cut we can hear from Slingshot Dakota’s forthcoming album ‘Break’. The Pennsylvania two-piece are made up of drummer Tom Patterson and vocalist/keyboardist Carly Commando. The fact that this band uses no guitars is a surprise, owing to the driving textural sounds of the keyboards which provide a great […]
This punchy four-piece from New York have spent the last year birthing their debut EP ‘Late Night Episodes’, and having just released their first single ‘Swim’ it goes truly beyond expectation.

Astronauts, etc. and Bells Atlas guitarist Derek Barber is releasing his sophomore album Me Tie Dough-ty Walker under the moniker of Perhapsy and the brilliant ‘All My Soul Swallowed’ is the first single taken from it.
Charleston four-piece Beach Tiger bring us a woozy cut of irresistible psych pop in ‘Just Woke Up’. Buoyant, lingering melodies meet chiming guitars, a bouncy drum beat and atmospheric keys in blissful union, ‘Just Woke Up’ is a vivid and honest admission of insecurity and self-doubt.
Hearing a debut track from a new artist is the most revelatory of all. Just one song can spark a never-ending love affair with an artist, it’s the introductory hello, the first impression. A debut track can have an immeasurable pull on an artist’s career, and upon the first listen to Londoner Bryde’s atmosphere-building entrance, we were […]
Dublin-based songwriter Maria Kelly will take you on a journey. It may be an all too familiar tale of heartbreak, but it’s her gentle touch and remarkable ability to turn a personal story into one that’s universally identifiable, that is truly what sets her apart from being just another girl with a broken heart and […]
Roo Panes recently revealed the second track to be lifted from his sophomore record, Paperweights. ‘The Original’ speaks of going back to your roots and stripping away the façade that we sometimes paint ourselves in. To ultimately, find some kind of solace within ourselves.
Having been likened to such bands as The 1975 and The Wombats, Pure Youth have leapt into this ever growing cyclone of indie-synth pop, with absolute ease.
I can’t find much about Tempesst online as they’re pretty new, but from I’ve read and heard they’re worth keeping an eye on. They’re kind of like a sun-dazed Fleet Foxes, with shades of Tame Impala in the vocals. Their debut track ’Tidal Wave’ made an impact, earning positive reviews from DIY and NME. Their […]
Over the past year, LA’s Lostboycrow has been continually churning out stunning R&B-led alt-pop, now he’s back with a new cut entitled ‘Love Won’t Sleep’, and it’s the latest jewel to his crown.
