‘How Long Can You Stare’ is the début single from London-based band, Arctic Lake. A masterclass in precision and subtlety. If their band name – Arctic Lake is anything to go off from what we should expect from their music, it’s very deceptive. ‘How Long Can You Stare’ is nowhere near the icy pools of the Arctic, […]
If you like your pop music vibrant and direct. Then be excited, be very excited about New York songstress VÉRITÉ. Just over a month ago, she launched her début single ‘Strange Enough’ which was met with an adoring wave of raving critics and fans. Now with new single ‘Weekend’ she ramps the anti up just that extra […]
VYNCE make indie pop that shimmers with irrefutable vibrancy and an ardent beating heart. Since the band formed in the summer of 2013, they have steadily gained a large and dedicated following around Merseyside and its surrounding areas. Over the next few months, VYNCE will be playing some big shows around the North West, including […]
Immediate. Ferocious. Gut spewing. That’s The Love Junkies and we love them for that. Their no-nonsense approach to making music is what creativity should be about. Life isn’t always pretty or glamorous. It’s messy and complicated and that’s the truth.
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)” […]
Glass Caves are the band to shake up your life with a fiery passion. Yorkshire’s answer to Catfish and the Bottlemen, you might say. Glass Caves anthemic indie rock is just the right combination of frenetic guitars, impassioned vocals and foot-to-the-pedal melodies that will get you dancing uncontrollably and singing along at the top of […]
After the recent success that The Slow Readers Club had with last single ‘Start Again’, gaining plays on BBC 6 Music and the band being hailed as Peter Hook’s favourite band in the NME. The Slow Readers Club are back, this time with introspective ballad ‘Don’t Mind’.
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.
