Newcastle quartet Seeing Hands have spent the past six months or so building a name for themselves in their home town, playing shows alongside local heroes A Festival, A Parade, The Great Curve and even making an appearance at Evolution Emerging 2016, and their name has sharply become one of excitable rumour. With Seeing Hands […]
When we heard that Australian grunge rockers Tired Lion were making the long trip across continents, from their homeland to the shores of the UK and Europe, we knew we had to grab some time with them. By chance, we locked in an exclusive back-seat ride on their gigantic tour, with highlights starting at Glastonbury festival and […]
There’s a lot riding on Delamere right now. Their debut album isn’t just the band’s first, it’s also the flagship release from Scruff Of The Neck Records – it’s the first record the label have ever put out. Clearly, there’s a lot of anticipation in both parties.
San Fransisco is an inspiring place – coloured in rolling fog, hilly landscapes and fragrant with culture. Yet for the man behind DONCAT, Duncan Nielsen finds his inspiration comes from a much more internal place. So to hear that his home state takes centre stage on new single ‘Western’ is somewhat of a surprise.
Newcastle’s Them Things are an interesting proposition, and not just for the music they make. The four members form a multicultural collective, with British, Russian and French natives finding their creative equals within the group and a spiritual home in the North East city. Their latest single ‘Mythomania’ is hard to unlearn, especially once subjected […]
With a pang of 70’s psychedelia, and a twang of heavy reverb, Cali-based indie pop outfit Blondfire drift in with their latest single ‘Domino’ – suitably artsy video included.
Flavouring the essence of a mind-altering trip with sonic explorations into the dark romance of the soul, Tokyo Tea Room’s new release ‘Like A Drug’ is both riddled with desire and addiction in equal measure.
Sia. Lorde. Madonna. All these artists have their own spark of gold, their own distinct voice, an originality. This is also true for Shells. Her music is authentic, capturing an undefined rawness – at times teetering on the rebellious and fragile, while at others, expansive and intimate. Her new release ‘Jagwar’ is her crowning glory.
Toronto’s fiercest pop star RALPH is back, this time tackling an issue close to her heart. One that she explains was inspired by Aziz Ansari’s Netflix series Master of None, ‘Something More’ tries to find substance in today’s social media obsessed world.
If you have trouble deciding which sweet treat to take when offered a heavenly selection, best of luck choosing which heavenly hook to sing along to when listening to Inspired & the Sleep’s latest single. The Californian dream-poppers put resentment to one side for this ditty, rejoicing in the ‘Sweet Company’ of relationships past and present.
If you stop time, step back to the mid-00’s and scrolled down any festival bill, there’a good chance all-female Australian quartet, RACKETT may have featured somewhere during one of ‘indie’s’ most iconic comings.
Amethysts have transcended sounds from raw live guitar to precisely recorded synth effects, producing ‘My Love’ – a case study of how to utilise the power of a male/female harmony, for a riling emotional atmosphere.
The journey is what makes the story, and in the case of London’s Bat and Ball, the road to where we meet the-now-three-piece has been long but nevertheless eventful. The homecoming is marked by an enigmatic and surprisingly adventurous left turn on dynamic new cut ‘Cruel Cats’.
Chesterfield pop-rockers TRASH are back with brand new track ‘Give Up’, following last year’s superb Urban Glow EP.
Combining elements of Radiohead, Bowie and The Strokes, and contrasting huge stadium choruses with intricate and complex verses, ‘Drained’ is the latest from Cambridge three-piece Too Cool Kid.
Album craft these days seems to have become an even more complex art. As, ironically, their place in music consumption is becoming less and less certain. Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal et al. have begun to breed a more lean-back playlist culture – why limit yourself to one band’s long form when you can experience multiple […]
With an obvious knack for writing beautiful, distinct, and wonderfully haunting ballads. The latest release from Westerman draws a slightly different approach forward, making ‘Mother Song’ all the more enchanting upon its gossamer caress.
Riding in on a wave of tropical indie-pop fury, FLIIIS have returned with new single ‘On The Sonnet’, which promises romance and strife in equal measure.
With their unique amalgamation of Folk and Americana Blues capturing the imagination of both the public and the press, we took the time to pin down the Icelandic powerhouse known as Kaleo for a chat, and asked them about their European Tour, their outlandish videos, and just what makes their music tick.
‘Held’ marks the second offering from Lowtide in recent months. The Melbourne dreamgazers continue to drip feed new tracks that will soon culminate with the release of their debut full-length in August.
