LIVE REVIEW: Wilsen & John Joseph Brill at St Pancras Old Church
As a child, I grew up with the church. Every Sunday morning, we would venture out as a family for the hour or so to partake in prayer. Stepping back into a church for the first time in some years had quite a strange effect on me, especially due to the circumstances. Illuminated with candles […]
LIVE REVIEW: Family Jools at The Fiddlers Elbow, Camden
Bristol’s Family Jools presented a glorious throwback to the past on Monday night in Camden boozer, The Fiddlers Elbow, melding the cool wooziness of 70’s rock with effervescent blues. It was a short performance, the band only playing four songs, but it was more than enough to achieve real impact.
In Conversation with…TEAM PICTURE
Leeds rebels Team Picture burst onto our radar with the seminal fuzz-rock of ‘Birthday Blues’, a visceral middle finger to alienation. Music like theirs must be cherished, and 2017 is seeing to this by providing a bunch of firsts for the band. Their debut show in Manchester see’s them popping their live performance cherry in […]
LISTEN: Too Cool Kid – ‘Sleep Me Off’
Cambridge alt-rock trio Too Cool Kid make a contrasting return with their latest track ‘Sleep Me Off’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Swimming Tapes – ‘Cameos’
Taken from their debut EP ‘Souvenirs’, London indie dreamers Swimming Tapes radiate melancholic bliss on ‘Cameos’. A succulent sun-soaked taste of a band destined for great success.
LISTEN: A Festival, A Parade – ‘People Person’
Following their debut release ‘If Dogs Could Talk’ last Autumn, it’s a swirling shimmering start by the Geordie lads at A Festival, A Parade with their new single ‘People Person’.
EP REVIEW: Sunstack Jones – ‘Days Stand Still’
Sunstack Jones sound like summer, even when listening in winter- and I like them for it. Their sound strings together the positive power of a number of genres; I hear bits of beach, elements of shoegaze, twangs of country, pieces of jangle pop – and it comes together with a rewarding warmth.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Tourists – ‘Masquerade’
The seaside town of Torquay has acted as the perfect springboard for electronic-pop purveyors Tourists to launch themselves from. The journey so far feeling more like a graceful glide and half-turn, than a straight dive into the unknown. As the band begin preparations for their first full-length album, we are delighted to fill in a piece […]
LIVE REVIEW: Indoor Pets + Trash at The Lexington, London
Two years ago, with just two tracks online, Indoor Pets were part of a bill showcasing Kent talent, playing to just over a dozen people in a pub in Maidstone. Now the Sittingbourne lads are Radio 1 regulars, and this show is sold out.
TRACK OF THE DAY: EAT FAST – ‘Sand Drone’
Eat Fast’s ‘Sand Drone’ is a tune that meets in a head on collision with your ears and rattles all the space in between. The band are quick to start, jumping the gun with a foot-to-the-floor mentality, a refreshing introduction to their first sample of music this year.
LISTEN: Kidsmoke – ‘Waves’
Wrexham’s Kidsmoke offer hope where there’s nothing but black with latest single ‘Waves’. Uplifting chimes of guitar pop try their best to beat off even the dreariest signs of resignation, like the saying goes “If at first you don’t succeed, try, and try again.”
TRACK OF THE DAY: Carnivals – ‘City of Skulls’
Carnivals waste no time in getting to where they want to be with their new release ‘City of Skulls’. Opening with a raucous explosion of forceful guitars and drums, overseen by the lead guitar (and subsequent vocal) hook – aptly referential to the clear psych influences. One can’t help but notice the South-East Londoner’s influences, […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: ISLAND – ‘Dreaming Of’
Music often has the ability to transcend into a force greater than itself, in the case of London group ISLAND we find their dreamy snapshots of young life to be certainly profound, if not remarkably invigorating. The final taster to be revealed from their upcoming ‘A Place You Like’ EP remains pensive and subtle, without ever […]
SONG OF THE WEEK: National Service – ‘A Little More Time’
Fierce Panda are on a role with their latest release, ‘A Little More Time’ the debut single from North London lads, National Service.
ALBUM REVIEW: Toothless – ‘The Pace Of The Passing’
In January 2016, Bombay Bicycle Club announced an indefinite hiatus after a decade of playing together. By this point frontman Jack Steadman was firmly absorbed in the world of electronica and heartbroken fans were assured that other members had various projects in the works. Toothless is bassist Ed Nash’s project and is the first to see […]
LISTEN: Dorine Levy – ‘Feelings’
