Leeds’ Caro are a band who turn compelling intentions into flowery art pieces, forever inventive is their approach towards indie rock. ‘Lick Your Lips,’ the first release of 2018 for the band is just more proof why eclecticism is becoming a new staple. This is guitar pop with flair, to underestimate the genre’s value and […]
After a long plane journey from Spain, I was lucky enough to grab a few moments with one half of Ireland’s finest pop/folk duo, Alfie of Hudson Taylor. To ask him a few questions about their return to music and what’s coming next, ahead of what proved to be a truly phenomenal night at Manchester’s […]
Brighton rowdy bunch Loa Loa are gearing up for what is expected to be a monumental tear up around the country, kicking off in Newcastle on Thursday the three-piece are planning to air new cuts, alongside a set of familiar rumbles. Central to the set might just be their latest single, ‘Give Me What I Want’ […]
Inspiration can call from anywhere and anything, the only responsibility we have is to listen when it whispers. The world around us offers many breathtaking epiphanies and stark realities – and particular allure is placed upon the four seasons. Changing climates profoundly affect so many aspects of life, and this is where Philip Whitehead takes […]
We’re still in the dark days of Winter but this could end up as one of those tracks that lights up the festival fields and tents of the Summer.
With so much great new music coming our way daily, we’ve compiled our favourites into an easily accessible format, aptly titled: #BitterSweetPlaylist. The idea is, once fully consumed, everyone has their shot at voting for their favourite track by means of the poll at the bottom of the page. At the end of the week, […]

He sheds light on the themes and thoughts at the heart of recent EP, Weightless, and how these are reflected in the video and visuals.
Pontefract’s Glass Caves have always had an enticing quality about them, the feeling that this is a band to invest time in and take note of – a tale of longevity not flash in the pan. This understanding has never worn away, in fact it has just matured, comparably as have the band’s musical efforts. […]
London quintet Yawwn engage heartbeats and aqua funk in debut single ‘Partisan,’ box-ticking all indie pop expectations with blue-colour splash and digital drive.
Emerging euphoric and sincere, last year’s ‘Feel It Again’ (the comeback track from brother duo Hudson Taylor) brought with it an eager rhythm section, heartfelt sentiment and scintillating vocal plaiting. Now well into the next chapter of their story, the brothers are kicking off 2018 with a new single and a nationwide tour.
Hello, This is my second encounter with Mugen’s monstrously melting music. Their first single ‘Come and Go’ as I remember was impeccable, now my ears have been picked to listen to some ‘Commentary‘.
Welcome 2018-ers. For our first post of the year, we decided it was about time that we shared our thoughts on the bands whom we believe are making great music and will continue to do amazing things in the coming twelve months. Catch our selections below, and let us know what you think in the […]
It’s time again that we reflect back on the past year, while 2017 has been divisive for many reasons; there have been crucial moments for growth and celebration. The chart-topping firsts of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘American Dream’ and The National’s ‘Sleep Well Beast’ told us that perseverance still holds its merit, streaming services are proving successful, […]
From the return of Taylor Swift and her electrifying turn towards gut-spilling electro-pop on ‘Look What You Made Me Do,’ to Wolf Alice’s love story of sprawling dreamgaze on ‘Don’t Delete the Kisses’. 2017 has provided some great evolutions from music’s biggest artists; with the year soon to come to a close, we wanted to […]
Opening with swelling synths, bubbling and blistering, creating a woozy, uneasy feeling from the get go. Laying it out on the table for all to see, Cosydrive leaves nothing to the imagination in this psych, autotune-drenched treasure – ‘B-Side’ airs first below.
A song which speaks of someone being sawn in half in the first line certainly isn’t subtle. And I like it that way.
2017 has seen alternative-pop group CHILDCARE release their debut EP ‘Made Simple,’ complete their first UK headline tour, and drop many delightful singles, including latest gem – ‘Put Down Your Pen’.
After hearing a stripped back, live version of Megan Dixon Hood’s new single ‘Alias Grace’ at the Castle Hotel a few weeks ago, I was unsure how the studio version could possibly compete with the fragility and beauty of the solo piano performance. However it just goes to show the skill and versatility of the […]
The last time we heard from soulful troubadour Reuben Koops, he was flying high off the back of a successful debut album, and the ‘Slate EP‘ which followed further cemented Koops as a promising artist. Assuring personal truths and emotional sincerity, his songs are tinged with sunny euphoric tones and are given equal luminosity through crooning folk-pop […]
The word “weird” was thrown around a fair bit the night that ambient pop collective Cigarettes After Sex cast their spell of incredible stillness over Leeds University. “Surely they have a support band – it’d be weird not to,” said the barmaid, only to be proved wrong. Maybe this was because a support band would […]
