It’s true, I listen to a lot of new music every day. However, every track doesn’t always tickle the musical tastebuds, yet there’s the occasional moment when you hear a new band for the first time and for those three or so minutes, it’s pure magic. And this can’t be truer of the debut track, […]

WATCH: Why We Run – ‘Comfortable Lie’
When I first laid my eyes on the début video from Sydney-based alt-rock quartet Why We Run, I was partly in awe of the stylistically brave optics of the idea and partly surprised that, to my knowledge, no one else in music has ever done this before. When you watch the video, you’ll see why.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Tired Lion – ‘I Don’t Think You Like Me’
Unrestrained guitar noise can be oppressive at times, but crafted with a bit of love and care it can be mighty. Take the newest cut from Australian four-piece, Tired Lion, for example. ‘I Don’t Think You Like Me’ roars like the winter’s howling wind and zings with feisty attitude.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Slow Turismo – ‘Corners’
Adding to the biggest influx of Aussie bands to reach our shores since Crowded House dared touch a Talking Heads cover at their last London gig, Slow Turismo offer new single, ‘Corners’ and prove themselves to be very worthy exports. Following up from their beautifully sunny video, ‘Thunderstorms’, the Melbourne based family band offer yet […]
PREMIERE: LiVVO – ‘You’
David Liversidge has always been the heart and soul of the Manchester live circuit, in our eyes. Rapidly building up a strong reputation around the city for his unrelenting work ethic and heartfelt, sincere folk-pop songs. After realising late last year that he was aiming for a new musical style, Liversidge decided to switch lanes […]
In Conversation with…LiVVO
You may be more familiar with this artist by his birth name David Liversidge. He’s an artist that we’ve championed here since the first time we laid our ears on his stunning set of pipes. Now he’s back under the alias, LiVVO, with a bigger, much bolder sound and he’s ready to show the world […]
LISTEN: Work Drugs – ‘Chase the Night’
Philadelphia based ‘sedative-wave/smooth-fi’ outfit, Work Drugs, have unveiled their latest work ‘Chase the Night’. It’s the lead single from their new album ‘Louisa’ due out this summer. A seductively nocturnal wonderment of synth pop.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Young Kato – ‘Children of the Stars’
After the sun-drenched radiance of previous single ‘Sunshine’. Cheltenham’s alt-popsters Young Kato are back with a new slice of heaven, entitled ‘Children of the Stars’. Taken off the band’s début record ‘Don’t Wait ’Til Tomorrow’. Like the album title suggests, the music of Young Kato is just as urgent and immediate.
INTRODUCING: Pooltheory
Pooltheory, is an artist that is relatively unknown at the time we’re writing this but his début track ‘The Dreamer’ gives us complete clarity. A sleepy, midnight getaway that recalls the melody-driven alt-pop of Woods.
In Conversation with…FYFE
There has always been a fluidity to the rhythms that Fyfe constructs and a visual element to his craft. Harnessing that raw power and might, Fyfe is finally ready to unveil his début LP, entitled ‘Control’, on 9th March.
WATCH: Trampolene – ‘Imagine Something Yesterday’
Romantic and nostalgic. Tramploene cover new ground with their new track ‘Imagine Something Yesterday’. A brit-pop tinged rock song daydreaming of a better time, yet striving for personal achievement.
EP REVIEW: Delamere – ‘Bright Young Things’
“Moving slowly and walking backwards” singer James Fitchford gleams on ‘Regress’. Although, this may be the struggle that many young bands face, Delamere are not one of them. Their début EP proves this. Ensuring us that they are moving anywhere but backwards as they leap to higher heights.
My Life in Music: PSYENCE
Psyence make visionary, sensory, otherworldly sounds that scream out with a need for escapism. It’s the sort of freedom that we all crave in our lives, but one that we can’t always reach. Psyence strolled into our lives with their signature spacious rhythms and heavy hitting psych-blues rock..Distortion blaring, guitars ringing, percussion crashing. Once you’ve taken […]
INTRODUCING: Wyldest
North London trio Wyldest – Zoe Mead, Holly Mullineaux and Jack Gooderham – have only been writing and performing their brand of lo-fi dream pop since summer 2014 but have already enjoyed early support from the likes of Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, NME, DIY and The Telegraph.
SONG OF THE WEEK: Broken Hands – ‘Death Grip’
Broken Hands have always been a firm favourite of ours. Now the band are back in full force with their first sonic output in over a year entitled ‘Death Grip’. A powerful 3 minutes of guitar fuzz, pummelling percussion and raging vocal intensity.
In Conversation with…SHAKE SHAKE GO
Folk pop hasn’t sounded more sweeter or more alive than the emotional rush of Shake Shake Go. Their spirited, pastoral tones and hand-on-heart storytelling will warm even the coldest of hearts and leave them in wonderment. We meet the Welsh-French band at a transitional period, one which is sure to seal their future as a […]
LISTEN: Surf Rock is Dead – ‘Zen A’
New York based duo Surf Rock is Dead have quite simply won over our hearts with their latest single ‘Zen A’. A slacker rock gem that’s wrapped in a post-punk blanket and thrown together with the jangly rush of lush, hazy surf. A combination that you wouldn’t necessarily think fits but it feels so right.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Wonderful Humans – ‘Just What I Needed’
It may be chilly outside but Wonderful Humans have come up with a plan to beat the bitter cold that’s been plaguing us this winter, and it comes in the form of their new track ‘Just What I Needed’. When you have Wonderful Humans blasting out of your speakers, it’s never a dull day. They […]
In Conversation with…BLACK ENGLISH
Black English have gone through a lot of changes in the past year. Be it a name change and a re-shuffle of the line up, but one thing that is for certain, is that they’ve weathered the turbulent times and are doing better than ever. Their début record ‘NO’ is quite the indie masterpiece, glimmering […]
SONG OF THE WEEK: Sienna Chorus – ‘Perfect Remedy’
