The DuBarrys are a band that we’ve had our eyes and ears firmly fixed on since they released their self-titled debut EP in the winter of 2014. A mixture of ambient tones and personally-etched songwriting addressed to finely-tuned indie pop production. Return to the present and the foursome continue to impress, with the release of […]

TRACK OF THE DAY: Coast Modern – ‘Animals’
Put the Winter winds behind you, swap that scarf for some shades and cruise into the Summer with Coast Modern. Their first single ‘Hollow Life’ drew attention from all over; their second is sure to be a hit. The swagger in ‘Animals’ is too infectious to escape.
Many Things About…WYLDEST
Ethereal, spellbinding, and forward-looking are the attributes of which London trio Wyldest have fully grasped within their sweet sonics. With the highly anticipated release of their debut EP ‘Dark Matter’ heavy in the air and a huge headline show at Dalston’s Servant Jazz Quarters next week. We had to take the opportunity to grab a few moments with the band, […]
LISTEN: Olivia Sebastianelli – ‘Lighting Fires’
Pop music with substance can be hard to come by, but that’s not to say that it doesn’t exist and equally, that it isn’t needed. Brighton-hailing newcomer to the pop scene is Olivia Sebastianelli. Her debut effort ‘Lighting Fires’ is a bright and uncompromising skyscaping pop song, that rests on its thoughtful approach to the genre.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Silences – ‘There’s A Wolf’
Ireland is a beautiful place. Cocooned in vast valley’s, natural habitats, and the cascading hills that grace its landscape. So when thinking about the country’s musical endeavours, it isn’t a giant leap to assume that within its burrows, hide creative minds that equally spawn wonder themselves. And one of those brilliant minds, rests in the intelligent […]
LISTEN: Wyldest – ‘Wanders’
Our favourite starry-eyed Londoners are back with the penultimate piece to be lifted off their debut EP. ‘Wanders’ is said track – a love affair of washy synths, sumptuous vocals, crisp beats and the push/pull twang of languid, reverb-soaked guitars.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Westerman – ‘Misanthrope’
The latest release from 23-year-old storyteller Westerman follows the charming fictional love story about a girl he meets in the French town of Saint-Tropez – inspired by his younger sisters mispronunciation of ‘Misanthrope’. Sweet, right?
TRACK OF THE DAY: Yonaka – ‘Ignorance’
Brighton four-piece Yonaka won’t be forgotten in a hurry, as a lot of new bands come and go at the drop of a hat after the hype has settled. This bunch of rowdy rock luminaries are coming in heavy and won’t be told ‘no’ by anyone. Upon the release of their debut single ‘Ignorance’, the foursome […]
LISTEN: Sara Hartman – ‘Two Feet Off The Ground’
After blazing in with her stunning debut track ‘Monster Lead Me Home’ at the end of last year. US-native, Berlin-based Sara Hartman is back with her second and most ambitious offering yet, ‘Two Feet Off The Ground’.
In Conversation with…NATALIE MCCOOL
Celebrating the wave of critical acclaim that has been guided her way recently, McCool has followed it up in the only way she knows how, by unveiling a new work – the empowering new single, ‘Fortress’. A tribal synth-led rallying call to join together and make a difference, as we ‘build our fortress.’ McCool is heading […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Charlie Cunningham – ‘Blindfold’
London-based singer/songwriter, Charlie Cunningham reminds us that there is beauty in understatement. His distinctly British touch is intertwined with the Latin flavours of the sun-baked region of Andalusia, sculpted from the years he spent living there. His newest offering ‘Blindfold’, lifted from his third EP ‘Heights’, takes his delicate introspection and rhythmic style to new soaring levels.
LISTEN: Swimming Tapes – ‘Souvenirs’
Swimming Tapes are still in their infancy. But since emerging a mere two months ago, the London band have played a couple of introductory shows and have finally uncovered their wonderful debut release, ‘Souvenirs’.
LISTEN: Slow Riot – ‘Trophy Wife’
Limerick post-punk offensive Slow Riot are back, with a new sonic explosion, the equally biting and brooding ‘Trophy Wife’.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Albin Lee Meldau – ‘Lou Lou’
It was a few months ago when we discovered the haunting storytelling of Swedish singer, Albin Lee Meldau, when he supported AURORA on a string of UK dates. Now having officially launched his debut single ‘Lou Lou’, we can’t say we ever want to be free of Meldau’s beautiful rapture.
LISTEN: Grymm – ‘Jurassic’
I think by now, we all know that Brighton has become a breeding ground for the scuzzy noise of punks and rockers to vent their angst, and wail their lungs out across the city’s sandy shores, and we love them for that. Drawing our attention back to their windswept shores is the thundering call of […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: The DuBarrys – ‘Catch The Rider’
Brighton’s retro-leaning indie band The DuBarrys are back with their first new material since 2014. The band having regrouped and gained a new member, have come back stronger and more refined than ever before. Returning with new single, ‘Catch The Rider’, they are staking their claim on the emotive, ear-worm friendly title that’s been reserved for […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Bear Hands – ‘2AM’
Flaunting an American slacker swagger, ‘2AM’ is an earnest and endearing piece of music from Bear Hands, which throbs and chugs throughout with all the ache and emotional strain that comes with growing older.
In Conversation with…VITAMIN
VITAMIN are probably the most exciting new band you’ll hear that have emerged out of the indie pop world, since Foster the People came raging on to the scene at the tail end of the noughties. Their crowning glory is their new single ‘This Isn’t Love’ – a sharp burst of zingy melodic pop, that features […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Happy Hollows – ‘Way Home’
Sometimes a track is lifted above its average-to-good trajectory towards becoming something more special by a single aspect. In this particular case Sarah Negahdari’s unique and soaring vocals provide an impassioned centre-point to Happy Hollows’ new single ‘Way Home’. A swirly-synthy build-up makes way for a driving alt-rock section, ushered in by the shiver-inducing first […]
