We credited Apes as Australia’s answer to Catfish and the Bottlemen last time they graced our pages, now the Victoria band are back. Predicting their debut album for release in early 2017, the band’s new single ‘If You Want It’ continues to build their name for towering indie rock anthems.
Praise be! The hitherto enigmatic EAT FAST have released their first slice of new music since sparkling debut EP ‘Fenham Dreadlock’, and truth be told ‘Public Display of Affection’ is a bit of a stomper.
The great Northern city of Leeds has been enjoying a resurgance of late, the creative types that reside in the city have founded a new inspiring hub – a place to create, to breed new ways of thinking, to celebrate the arts and in doing so, have built a strong community where like-minded creatives thrive. […]
Mellowed-out songwriting and textured sophistication leads to a bright, complex listen complete with far-out breakdowns and psychedelic colour. It is the work of Canterbury band Syd Arthur. The four-piece having just released their most assured record to-date, in third long-player ‘Apricity’, take their musical prowess to a whole new state of sonic perfection.
Think music so intimate, all that is needed is a guitar and vocals to guide us into new sensations. That is the effect of the work of Luke De-Sciscio, and his track ‘Vivid Love’ from forthcoming album ‘Gossamer Rose’.
Don’t we all from time to time imagine a perfect version of our favourite food or a dream destination to escape to? Well, we’re in the business of making dreams come true. Naturally, we’ll get as close as we can to making an idea, reality. So when Kent band Indoor Pets felt inspired to ramp […]
As South London quartet Hidden Charms embrace the stage tonight, adorned in eye-catching retro fashions, it’s easy to worry this band could be throwback style over substance. Whilst it’s easy to see the groups 60s rock influence of The Kinks and The Beatles to The Stones in their dress, Hidden Charms certainly rip it up […]
‘Drag’ from Slowcoaches is all rush, no hush, as any self-respecting pop-punk influenced track ought to be. Sounding like something from the soundtrack to a 90s teen movie, the beautiful racket induced by bassist/vocalist Heather and guitarist Matt is self described as ‘slack-metal’. Following in the vein of similarly angsty takes from Joanna Gruesome or […]
Cult lovers the world over, rejoice, Happyness are back on tour with a new EP, a fresh energy and an undiminished love of cake. Prior to their cracking show at Manchester’s Sound Control supporting Twin Peaks, I grabbed a moment (and a beer) with the band’s guitarist Benji Compston, and queried him on the subject matter […]
Bristol singer/songwriter Fenne Lily captures the fine lines of experience in a truly unique and enigmatic way. On ‘Bud’, the singer triggers vocal intensity and delicacy with aching ease.
The grimy, secluded surroundings of The Star and Garter seemed to be the perfect place for Gold Class to arrive for their stopover in Manchester, as part of their larger European tour. Like the venue itself, Gold Class seem to combine the dual characteristics of being rough around the edges, yet genuinely classy, if you’ll pardon the pun.
Slow Riot cut ties with new single ‘Absent Dreams’. This clean slate equally drives the band forward sonically, the dark pop ambitions grow misty amongst the smoke-screen of distortion and sinister lunges at character.
17-year-old George Van De Broek (aka Yellow Days) has a lot to be thankful for this year. After all, in the mere ten months that he’s been active online (uploading rough cuts to soundcloud with limited social media presence), the young songwriter/producer has found himself signed to the same label as BANKS – London imprint Good Years. His […]
Manchester’s newly-formed duo Pool Art are sure to stand out from the masses of homogenised sludge that occupies a lot of today’s music industry. Completely obscure in its form, their debut single is both unforgettable and a complete monstrosity. ‘Don’t Feed Me To Them’ is more than just a pleading – it’s a balling, raging […]
Combining an indie energy with a dynamic dance flare, it’s no surprise Junior Empire have been acclaimed as Annie Mac’s ‘New Faces’ of the month on BBC Radio One. The London-based band collide the vibrancy of rolling guitar with animation of synth and beats on ‘Danger’.
Oxford-born singer/songwriter, Richard Walters is naturally gifted with a voice that transcends the average, in fact, his gentle but never frail vocal register demands attention. Fraught with emotion, his songs are moving and heartfelt detailing revealing moments in life that are both relatable and deeply personal.
The Vyrll Society veer their all-powerful psych into chillingly cool pop with their latest single ‘A Perfect Rhythm’. Steering their experimental sound into soft pop-contagion, the Liverpool group could be set to be the British Tame Impala. Signed to Deltasonic Records (of The Coral to The Zutons), The Vyrll Society are England’s softly transcending answer […]
London folk singer/songwriter King Charles will never let an obstacle deter him from his calling, nor will any logistical or monetary limitations cease his determination to tour his music. Part of which inspired his new song, ‘Find A Way’. A track that came to fruition during the musician’s European tour, last April.
After six long month’s passing by without a peep from FAIRCHILD, we can finally bring you the latest piece of infectious perfection from the Gold Coast dance-rockers. ‘Relevance’ spreads intensity through moody precision, a concise but adamantly anthemic track that’s intended for those indie disco’s.
Talmont take the subject of desire, and let it spin not just through your ears, but beneath your fingers. Yes, their debut single ‘Buried in Gold’ is almost intimate, working with layers of sound and lyrics, lingering over the theme of ‘touch’ in a way which quickly immerses the audience.
