The Doctorates are a band that have just recently come to my attention and I’m so happy about this realisation. The indie rock threesome hail from the country locale of Canterbury. A city that’s steeped in history and tradition. While The Doctorates don’t go down the psychedelic, prog rock route of what the area is […]
Storms just released the new video for their track ‘Undress’. After firmly invigorating us with their last single ‘Swell’, I think we’re just about ready for more from these Londoners.
Picture the icy plains of Switzerland, mountain tops covered in white dust, snow gathering at the water’s edge of their flowing rivers and you’ll be in the right mindscape for the musical wonders that are beholden to Johanna Glaza. ‘Letter to New York’ is her sophomore effort. It’s an EP that equally shows her progression as […]
HARTS (aka. Darren Hart) is an artist that waves the flag proud for true musicianship: a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer. His grooves are slick, his rock’n’roll heavy and his soul / funk / pop is light and breezy. No wonder Prince has taken a shine to him saying that “He reminds me of how I […]
California’s Brolly were greeted with an outcry of love and excitement when they announced last month that they will be releasing their forthcoming EP ‘Wolfe’ this September. A favourite band of ours here at Bitter Sweet Symphonies, so when heard the news of course we were elated.
Northampton singer/songwriter Billy Lockett announced his new single ‘Old Man’ earlier today, that is taken off is forthcoming new EP, out 21st September.
Sometimes we come across bands but never get around to listening to them. I know I’m guilty of this, and most of time I’m missing out on something really great, so rather than waste any more time not listening to what could be our new favourite band. I decided a list was appropriate – 5 Bands You […]
London trio Happyness are a charming prospect. The trio have a sound that’s uniquely theirs yet there’s an air of familiarly about it also. They are a band that take influence from the melding of slacker rock with smatterings of jangly ambient atmospherics and the occasional tendency to break out into all-out noise.
Tom the Lion is an enigma. This Leamington born singer/songwriter is an artist that we are very proud to have supported in the past and with the official release of his début album Sleep, we just can’t contain our excitement. Sleep is a record that exemplifies Tom’s musical brilliance and his exemplary song craft.
Melbourne duo, The Twoks are back with new single ‘Hey’. After we featured their exuberant single ‘First Light’ earlier this year, we were very excited to hear something new from our favourite dance pop duo.
The Eskimo Chain are treating us to a double whammy of psych rock goodness with new AA-side singles ‘Feel Me’ and ‘Riding’. Both tracks hark back to the days of My Bloody Valentine and Joy Division but also add a new flavour into the mix with their slight punk sensibilities and bolstering brit-pop.
Melbourne based quartet, Magic America are a psych rock dream. Their new AA-side single featuring lead track, ‘Pictures’ is a swirling wave of blissed out vocals and hypnotic drum beats. Storming brit-pop hooks add that extra bit of sass to their sound that makes for a tasty combination of sonic delights.
Poor Michael are a young three-piece from Maidenhead, they’ve already gained backing from BBC Introducing and have played alongside the likes of Tail Feather and Broken Hands. Hearing this initially peaked our interest to go and investigate the band further. Recently releasing the second EP of their EP trilogy – “Poor Michael (2 of 3)” […]
Delamere are quickly becoming a well-known name in the industry, after grabbing the attention of BBC Introducing and Manchester label, Scruff of the Neck Records, they are set to take 2014 by storm. With new single ‘Headstrong’ they have proven that they are a band that deserve all that attention and more.
Nothing But Thieves are the breakout band of the year for us. The combination of fizzying intensity and underlying tension within their music is something special to behold. With a lead vocal that soars higher than the clouds and soulful r’n’b infused stadium rock that will have you grooving, while they tear your heart out […]
2013 saw the release of Lonesound’s [aka. James Ewers] collection of three EP’s, which came together to make The Great Outdoors, culminating in a collection of 12 tracks making a body of work that easily could be classed as an album. Now has the come the time for it’s official vinyl release, released via. Netherlands label, […]
London based noise-makers Cassels are a heavenly delight on the ears. This brotherly duo take a no-nonsense approach to their music, coming in hot and heavy with fuzz-toned guitars and ferocious drum grooves. If you like Girl Band or Royal Blood, then venture forth into the world of Cassels.
Australia you might say is the home of the new wave of psych bands that have been emerging in the last decade or so. Aussie’s Moses Gunn Collective are just the tip of that psychedelic iceberg. With a clear vision, they’ve set out to worm their way into our hearts with groove centric melodies, delirious […]
