‘Truth In Reverse’ is the lead single from The Oscillation’s new album, ‘Monographic’. It’s a lengthy choice for a single, clocking in at just under 8 minutes. Despite this length, the song is really minimalist in its approach. It centres around only a couple of ideas and just stretches them out into a scraggly fuzzed-up […]
Dua Lipa’s pristine pop is infectiously catchy. And even more so, she holds a captivating energy with each and every sweet vocal turn spun from her lips. It’s pop acts like Dua that make mainstream media stand up and shout ‘hell yes’ along with the adoring masses. Pop music has an incredible ability to connect […]
With the way that technology and music making work hand-in-hand today, it’s so easy for an artist or producer to start creating and releasing their own compositions. Particularly in a way that showcases their artistry, with the same degree of skill and competency that could only be achieved before in a full fledged studio. The revolution […]
Powerhouse soul is what Rag’N’Bone Man deals in. His gritty, street-trodden confessionals bare the weight of the soul, and within that it’s his emotionally candid way of expression that acts as a cathartic release.
If you wanna know how music can be colourful, give Sleepovers a hearty listen. The brit-pop inspired sounds on their first single ‘I AM ME & YOU ARE YOU‘ has the radiant vibrancy of a jar of assorted gobstoppers, with no sweetness spared! If being told “you are the most beautiful girl I’ve met” doesn’t sweep […]
Fuzzy and moody, ‘Paycheck’ is the first cut we can hear from Slingshot Dakota’s forthcoming album ‘Break’. The Pennsylvania two-piece are made up of drummer Tom Patterson and vocalist/keyboardist Carly Commando. The fact that this band uses no guitars is a surprise, owing to the driving textural sounds of the keyboards which provide a great […]
Indie groove machines HABITATS impressed us with their first EP ‘Diamond Days’. Since then, the foursome have been gaining motion on the live scene, picking up support from the movers and shakers at BBC Radio, and in between that they have found time to travel to the Big Apple to record their newest and most […]
First are a three-piece garage-rock band tucked away in London. I’d never heard of them and still don’t understand why not – they’re insane. First have nailed the ’90s alt. rock sound (think Pavement and tinges of early Weezer), but still they manage to put a little something of their own in. It has a […]
This punchy four-piece from New York have spent the last year birthing their debut EP ‘Late Night Episodes’, and having just released their first single ‘Swim’ it goes truly beyond expectation.
Re-invention is always good. It brings about a new way of thinking, it pushes creativity to the forefront and more importantly for the artist, it re-invigorates them. This is true for Joel Baker, the soulful singer has always been drawn to two different worlds.
Emilie & Odgen is the chosen stage name of Montreal based harpist Emilie Kahn. Her music reflects upon her own inner dialogue, capturing the honesty and intimacy of life.
Coasts have proven that with a lot of hard graft, persistence and dedication, it is possible to achieve your dreams. The band formed in 2011, and since then they’ve been touring relentlessly up and down the country, building an army of fans, and progressing their skills for crafting epic indie pop songs that soar into […]
HABITATS are a band with personality. Their light-hearted approach and musical spontaneity is refreshing, which makes their live performances all the more compelling. The band are releasing their second EP next month, entitled ‘Jungles’ out 12th February. It’s a collection of songs that boldly express HABITATS progression as a band.
Entice yourself into the twisting sonics of London duo Ardyn’s new single ‘The Garden’, taken from their debut EP ‘Universe’. Combining the crystal pop of Zella Day and the alluring melancholy of Lana Del Rey, this is their best moment yet.
New to the synth-pop mantle is FEELS. As yet, they only have two singles to their name and a blossoming fanbase, but the trio have built up a strong arsenal to lead with. Poised with a touch of the dramatic and a boldness to back it up, their electro-pop is undeniably refreshing and uncompromising.
Irish prodigy, Chanele McGuinness weaves classic and timeless themes of the difficult truths we experience in life, seen through a youthful eye but told with a maturity that is beyond her years. Her emotive debut EP ‘Already Gone’ introduced a brave new voice to the world – unfaltering and unwavering in earnest self-reflection about the world and the […]
Exeter’s Skeleton Frames are equal parts haunting and foreboding. The band’s sweet side is spearheaded by singer Emily Isherwood’s rapturous coo, that spirals in and out of focus, its her tormented yet delicate delivery that makes this band so irresistible. Rumbling outwards from the core of the five-piece is their self-contained cacophony – a rough-around-the-edges distorted ravage of […]
Astronauts, etc. and Bells Atlas guitarist Derek Barber is releasing his sophomore album Me Tie Dough-ty Walker under the moniker of Perhapsy and the brilliant ‘All My Soul Swallowed’ is the first single taken from it.
Sienna Chorus’ elegant pop has stunned us from the first moment we heard debut track ‘Sideways’, the band’s latest release ‘S|W|Y|A’ (Stay Where You Are) continues to raise that bar even higher.
Southend-on-Sea may not be notorious for it’s musical exploits but with a new wave of bands coming through, it’s impossible not to take notice of the town’s new blood. Case in point is rabble-rousing foursome Asylums.
