I often wonder why a collective of 2 or 3 musicians can produce a much grislier and often more powerful sound than a simple four piece can provide, but I guess the simple truth is, that with refinement comes a boundless sense of freedom and often this results in, amps being turned up higher and […]
Since we first heard Storms melodic slacker rock all those many moons ago, we’ve fallen infectiously and venomously in love with them. With the impact of their new track ‘Girl’, we can’t help but feel even more enamoured by their ability to craft emotionally brutal, hook laden songs.
For the last four years Melbourne based indie pop outfit Tully On Tully, have been turning heads and accruing fans all across the world. Gracing stages across Australia, Singapore, America, and Canada with a live show described by Australian critics as “mesmerising”, its no surprise that they have been the focus of much well deserved […]
Sloes immediately stunned us and many others with their debut release ‘Devil in You’ earlier in the year. The band have since premiered a new track entitled ‘Swan Song’. A sumptuous, breathtaking release of indie and folk, structurally complex and dramatically delivered.
There’s nothing I like more than being pleasantly surprised by a musician’s musical talent and songwriting skill. It’s that strike of lightning, that pure shot of emotion whether it be hope, pain, joy or melancholia. Every little minute detail sounds as gloriously rewarding as the next, because even from the most troubling times, eventually comes solace […]
Miamigo made an impressive entrance with their debut single ‘Opinions’ but not many bands after achieving instant success, manage to keep the momentum going into their sophomore release and even top their efforts in doing so. But just one listen to Miamigo’s second track ‘Hard to Love’ and it’s near impossible to conjure anything less […]
What makes Tenterhook a particularly pleasing musical find is not just his flawless falsetto, enchanting delivery and gentle building melodies but his simple love of sharing real stories that come from the heart. His new single ‘What I Like’ is the perfect example of this, tender with immaculate poise and awash in gorgeous melody, it makes […]
First thing to remember, Many Things will not rest until they have you on your feet and dancing the night away. Whilst you are two-stepping through step-one, making sure to not loose your balance, the bands powerful, if not instinctive, lyrical prowess kicks in.
American singer/songwriter Tyler Lyle comes from a musical family, music is like second nature to Lyle, and after many celebratory moments with his debut release, ‘The Golden Age and the Silver Girl’, Lyle is back with his sophomore offering. ‘Winter Is For Kierkegaard’ is the first taster of his new material, a folk pop wonder […]
Since their inception in 2014, October Drift have quickly established themselves as a dominant musical force. After the soaring success of their début release ‘Whoever’, the four-piece have returned to further cement themselves as permanent fixtures in our lives with the breathtaking new single ‘You Are, You Are’.
Canberra boys Slow Turismo have been building up quite a reputation for themselves around Australia with their unique brand of sun drenched indie pop. Well textured and intricate arrangements that have even the heaviest feet tapping along in time have gained them widespread attention. Their latest single ‘Corners’ is the third in a string of […]
Nostalgia is a beautiful thing, looking back fondly to a time when we younger and carefree. We cherish the past, not necessarily because we’re dissatisfied with our present and fearful of what the future might bring, but because it’s made us who we are today. But when we start to over-analyse the past and begin […]
My introduction to Argentina was during England’s crushing defeat following that Michael Owen wonder goal in the ’98 World Cup- devastating as a nine year old boy. I’ve since recovered and moved on and have just been introduced to Resistencia born quintet, Oh So Quiet.
Saltwater Sun usher in girl-fronted rock with pop sensibilities, akin to the sweet ferocity of Wolf Alice and The Preatures. With their début single ‘Habit On My Mind’ they prove that infectious songwriting, taut soaring guitars and glistening rhythms are the perfect cocktail to create a blaring, radiant summer anthem.
Envision the brooding, melancholy of Daughter with a touch of the atmospheric intensity of The XX and the understated, melodic elegance of London Grammar, and London quintet Sloes will emerge. The band may be new to our ears but they feel like home. Their music is full of pleasant surprises but still it’s intensely comforting.
Brother/sister duo Lucy and Thom Southern’s blues rock is so tantalising that it’s almost criminal to stand still. Attitude drips from every lick, every riff, every sweet vocal turn. It’s always a satisfying proposition when Southern release a new track and their latest ‘Lone Driver’ is effortlessly cool.
We’ve been fans of the Liverpool alt-folk collective, Cavalry, for a while now. But since last year’s sudden arrival to the scene with their gorgeous début ‘Lament’, the band had taken a prolonged breather, leaving us high and dry, and craving for some new material to savour. But today marks a change. The quintet have […]
In the last six months, Palace have ridden a wave of overwhelming critical acclaim and fan support. Last October, they released their debut EP ‘Lost in the Night’, which garnered the attention of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music and XFM. Following on from the huge success of their debut EP, Palace have unveiled their magnificent […]
We’ve come to the conclusion that with each new Mispers track you just have to throw caution to the wind, because each and every time The Mispers release a new track, they always defy our expectations and not just go one step ahead, but ten steps ahead of where they last left you. And their […]
Amy has a voice filled with enchantment and wisdom. Brought up as witness to the nightlife of her mum’s pubs and bars, Amy’s songs are riddled with anecdotes and wry humour based on the colourful characters she has met on her way. Her sound is reminiscent of a young Stevie Nicks with the glottal growl […]
