London trio Wyldest capture the mystical on new single ‘Stalking Moon’, as their dream pop continues to know no bounds. The cut is a fully absorbing four-and-a-bit minutes of reverberating guitars, sensual voice, prowling bass and crescendoing driving melodies.
Two voices coming together to create a distinct, harmonic tapestry will always be powerful. Paper Hawk exemplify this in their songcraft – resting on each other’s beautifully serene vocal cries, before unfurling into something that is both strong and potent. Their alt-folk is sewn together by the delicate brush strokes of their infatuating songwriting and deep-rooted […]
‘Truth In Reverse’ is the lead single from The Oscillation’s new album, ‘Monographic’. It’s a lengthy choice for a single, clocking in at just under 8 minutes. Despite this length, the song is really minimalist in its approach. It centres around only a couple of ideas and just stretches them out into a scraggly fuzzed-up […]
Dua Lipa’s pristine pop is infectiously catchy. And even more so, she holds a captivating energy with each and every sweet vocal turn spun from her lips. It’s pop acts like Dua that make mainstream media stand up and shout ‘hell yes’ along with the adoring masses. Pop music has an incredible ability to connect […]
With the way that technology and music making work hand-in-hand today, it’s so easy for an artist or producer to start creating and releasing their own compositions. Particularly in a way that showcases their artistry, with the same degree of skill and competency that could only be achieved before in a full fledged studio. The revolution […]
Powerhouse soul is what Rag’N’Bone Man deals in. His gritty, street-trodden confessionals bare the weight of the soul, and within that it’s his emotionally candid way of expression that acts as a cathartic release.
If you wanna know how music can be colourful, give Sleepovers a hearty listen. The brit-pop inspired sounds on their first single ‘I AM ME & YOU ARE YOU‘ has the radiant vibrancy of a jar of assorted gobstoppers, with no sweetness spared! If being told “you are the most beautiful girl I’ve met” doesn’t sweep […]
Fuzzy and moody, ‘Paycheck’ is the first cut we can hear from Slingshot Dakota’s forthcoming album ‘Break’. The Pennsylvania two-piece are made up of drummer Tom Patterson and vocalist/keyboardist Carly Commando. The fact that this band uses no guitars is a surprise, owing to the driving textural sounds of the keyboards which provide a great […]
First are a three-piece garage-rock band tucked away in London. I’d never heard of them and still don’t understand why not – they’re insane. First have nailed the ’90s alt. rock sound (think Pavement and tinges of early Weezer), but still they manage to put a little something of their own in. It has a […]

New to the synth-pop mantle is FEELS. As yet, they only have two singles to their name and a blossoming fanbase, but the trio have built up a strong arsenal to lead with. Poised with a touch of the dramatic and a boldness to back it up, their electro-pop is undeniably refreshing and uncompromising.
Irish prodigy, Chanele McGuinness weaves classic and timeless themes of the difficult truths we experience in life, seen through a youthful eye but told with a maturity that is beyond her years. Her emotive debut EP ‘Already Gone’ introduced a brave new voice to the world – unfaltering and unwavering in earnest self-reflection about the world and the […]
Exeter’s Skeleton Frames are equal parts haunting and foreboding. The band’s sweet side is spearheaded by singer Emily Isherwood’s rapturous coo, that spirals in and out of focus, its her tormented yet delicate delivery that makes this band so irresistible. Rumbling outwards from the core of the five-piece is their self-contained cacophony – a rough-around-the-edges distorted ravage of […]
