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.
Prides headlined The Wardrobe last Saturday night at this year’s Live at Leeds festival, above are some shots from the gig and also a look into what the band get up to before the show.
Port Isla just wrapped up a second stint on the road with James Bay, the tour saw them playing to a sold-out crowd at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, now if that’s not a memory to treasure than I don’t know what is? To celebrate the bands new single ‘A.L.I.V.E’, and lets face it, their inherent taste for good music […]
The weather may have been on a downer, with intermittent rain and dull skies all day long, but our spirits were high and energised for the day to come. It’s no lie that Live at Leeds boasted one of the best line up’s this year, but in saying that, there was always going to be […]
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’.
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.
The musical vision of Manchester-born Adio Marchant (aka. Bipolar Sunshine) has spawned a sound that is not just genre-defying but uniting, with the euphoric highs of pop, emotional resonance of hip hop and uplifting spirit of a gospel choir. His voice is soulful, his lyrics are vibrant and his candour breathes meaning into every verse. […]
International and homegrown bands will collide at this year’s Live at Leeds festival. A music event in a metropolitan oasis that proves you don’t always need to grab your wellies and a tent to enjoy the festival season.
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.
