Live at Leeds are celebrating the culmination of ten years leading thousands of punters through the streets of the Yorkshire city to experience the finest new live talent that both the UK and the world has to offer. With no exception, the festival organisers have solidified and strengthened their name once again with the plethora […]
It feels like Indoor Pets are on the cusp of great success, the Sittingbourne fun merchants are motoring at a great neck speed. From touring with the hottest new kids on the block, VANT to scoring a highly prized opening slot for those garage rock marauders, Spring King. It’s been a hectic 2016 for Indoor […]
It’s always a good day when we receive new music from Yorkshire teenager, Billie Marten and this time is no exception. While the title of her new single may suggest a raiding of the kitchen’s larder, here we find Marten overturning much deeper thoughts than ever before. ‘Milk & Honey’, as she explains is “a song about […]
Pop has a new rising star and her name is Sara Hartman. She’s already toured with powerhouse Ellie Goulding and is soon to be joining X Ambassadors on their US tour, this May. But first she brings us her brightest pop constellation to date and the title track of her debut EP – ‘Satellite’.
Never before has isolation and loneliness sounded so life affirming than on ‘The Loner’, the new cut from Boston/LA/Hull (putting it on the map!) band SKATERS, taken from the band’s forthcoming EP ‘Rock and Roll Bye’. With an opening guitar jab that sounds ominously like the lead into a Wombats esque indie-pop jaunt, this proves a […]
The Aussies with a love for 80’s new wave are back. FAIRCHILD return with a new neon-blaring gem that is set to excite the long summer night’s that await us. The track is ‘Neighbourhoods’, and it teases to a mind that is beseeched with lust for one that should probably be left alone. But like most […]
ISLAND were our favourite new band to appear out of 2015, the Londoners have now returned with the first single of a double release. ‘Spotless Mind’ see’s the band find composure in pensive thought, questioning and pondering the ‘what if’s’.
Little is known about the mysterious bride in the photo. Was she abandoned at the alter? Maybe. Has she run away from her wedding? Possibly. Or is this some kind of fairytale, Gothic romance? Most certainly. It’s all up for contention. But let’s leave the matter of the accompanying imagery behind for a moment, and meet […]
This an exquisite slice of alt-pop from London based singer-songwriter Carmody. With smooth and emotive Aurora-esque vocals leading from the start, the track slowly builds as the ludicrously on point production spirals around the melodic centre point.
It is difficult to pin down exactly what it is that gives Westerman that distinctive haunting sound, but there are qualities to his music which are bewitching and enchanting unlike anything else. Just as you’d expect, his latest release ‘Jericho’ is enchanting, prophetic and divine.
Yellow Days defies convention. His compositions drift in and out of formal structures, rather choosing to feel their way, through the yelp’s and calm’s of his disarming vocal call. It’s indie at its most immersive and inventive best, with a soulful twist and the sway of free-form. Not often do we come across such ambition […]
We encounter a great deal of pop music in our day to day lives. Radio, YouTube, Spotify and TV ads, which bombard us with the sight of delicious food whilst Clean Bandit softly whirl in the background. However, rarely do we get to experience pop music at its absolute freshest, its rawest, and arguably at […]
London-via-Kent upstarts Inevitable Daydream are making a name for themselves. Already revered in their hometown of Maidstone, the band since re-locating to London have set their sights further afield. And if their latest track is anything to go by, the revolution is imminent. The bloody and charred remains of gnarled refrains and violent feedback make for a […]
Torn between Exeter and Bristol, Skeleton Frames are the newcomers that are set to excite those long summer night’s that await, with their mosh-pit approved first single proper ‘Quicksand’.
Parkwave are an indie-rock band from Italy releasing their debut album ‘Better Than This’ on American label Friends records (Future Islands, Natural Velvet), and the fantastically titled Italian label, Bizarre Love Triangles. ‘Frames’ is the first single from it, and it contains all of the tropes of indie-rock past delivered in tasteful fashion. Whilst people […]
Ireland’s Silences conquer the senses with pristine focus, their hypnotic folktronica remains both hushed and serene, melodic and irresistibly enchanting. The band are on the cusp of releasing a new work – the ‘Luna’ EP – their most mature and realised effort to date.
Scotland has bared some of the biggest synth pop exports in recent times, namely Chvrches and Prides, now we add ISLE to that distinguished list of pop makers and hip shakers. The duo’s latest hands-in-the-air stomper, ‘Kid’, reaches timely heights in mere seconds.
Even legal battles won’t stop noise-pop makers EAT FAST, formerly EAT, from roaring ahead. Their new release ‘Stammer’ rallies from the get-go and doesn’t let up for its two minute, sixteen second summation.
Held every third Saturday in April is Record Store Day (taking place on Saturday 16th April this year). Physical formats are very important to us, and with RSD approaching, we wanted to properly celebrate the all mighty vinyl record. So in the lead up, we decided to catch up with a few of our favourite record labels […]
L.A’s Milo Greene have returned with the promise of their third album and a sparkling new demo to tempt those ears back into play. ‘Never Mean It’ sumptuously wraps around those earlobes in sweet submission, the new cut pre-empts an evolution for the trio in sound and vision.
