Stoke-on-Trent has produced many great bands over the years, and has since become one of the key towns that we look to for new music. One of its newest offerings is Broken Flags – a guitar band that are ready to shake things up. Consisting of Jack Dooley on lead vocals/guitar, Lewie Adams on guitar, […]
Radio DJ and producer, and just simply lover of new music – Abbie McCarthy is curating a new club night called Good Karma Club. It’s a hub for new music fans, where the sole purpose of the night is to celebrate new sounds and emerging musicians, while having the best time possible and maybe making […]
Charleston four-piece Beach Tiger bring us a woozy cut of irresistible psych pop in ‘Just Woke Up’. Buoyant, lingering melodies meet chiming guitars, a bouncy drum beat and atmospheric keys in blissful union, ‘Just Woke Up’ is a vivid and honest admission of insecurity and self-doubt.
The purity of an artist’s vision can sometimes get lost in a minefield of opinions and strategy. And when that vision is blurred, it loses its original authenticity – the essence of what made it a true expression of the artist’s soul in the first place. So sometimes stripping back to basics is necessary. A return […]
Leeds band Black Surf have an unusual backstory – forming two years ago through the wonders of FaceTime and dropbox, which also involved crossing countries (between Leeds, UK and Sydney, Australia). It may be an unconventional way of starting a band but we’re bloody glad that they did. Their debut single ‘Lights Out’ is a […]
2016 promises to be a great year for Sittingbourne’s Indoor Pets. The band will be welcoming in the year with a tour of the UK, and soon after they will be starting production on their debut album.
Hearing a debut track from a new artist is the most revelatory of all. Just one song can spark a never-ending love affair with an artist, it’s the introductory hello, the first impression. A debut track can have an immeasurable pull on an artist’s career, and upon the first listen to Londoner Bryde’s atmosphere-building entrance, we were […]
Dublin-based songwriter Maria Kelly will take you on a journey. It may be an all too familiar tale of heartbreak, but it’s her gentle touch and remarkable ability to turn a personal story into one that’s universally identifiable, that is truly what sets her apart from being just another girl with a broken heart and […]
Cage The Elephant have (thankfully) made their return and graced us with the maturity that was always in deep down inside of them. The band’s fourth album Tell Me I’m Pretty comes two years after the huge success of Melophobia – nominated for a grammy in ‘Best Alternative Album’ – and slots in comfortably alongside all […]
Roo Panes recently revealed the second track to be lifted from his sophomore record, Paperweights. ‘The Original’ speaks of going back to your roots and stripping away the façade that we sometimes paint ourselves in. To ultimately, find some kind of solace within ourselves.
Civil Twilight are a band of brothers, they have a bond that is unbreakable, which in part, is what makes their music so incredibly transcendent. It defies constructions – soaring and billowing to vast, lofty heights.
When looking towards a new year, there are many things to be excited about. New possibilities, new opportunities and most of all, the new music that will come our way. The following artists and bands that make up this list, I truly believe will accomplish great things in the coming year. So be ready…
New York’s ASTR comprises of Zoe Anna on vocals and Adam Pallin on production duties, and they make sweet, noirish electro-R&B bangers. With the release of their highly anticipated debut EP ‘Homecoming’ earlier this year, they are ready to take the world’s dance floors by storm.
Having been likened to such bands as The 1975 and The Wombats, Pure Youth have leapt into this ever growing cyclone of indie-synth pop, with absolute ease.
I can’t find much about Tempesst online as they’re pretty new, but from I’ve read and heard they’re worth keeping an eye on. They’re kind of like a sun-dazed Fleet Foxes, with shades of Tame Impala in the vocals. Their debut track ’Tidal Wave’ made an impact, earning positive reviews from DIY and NME. Their […]
Over the past year, LA’s Lostboycrow has been continually churning out stunning R&B-led alt-pop, now he’s back with a new cut entitled ‘Love Won’t Sleep’, and it’s the latest jewel to his crown. Taken off his forthcoming debut EP ‘Sigh For Me’ out 11th January, it signifies a slight change of pace for the singer but this […]
So it’s that time of year again. As we wrap up another year, we start to look back at all the memories we’ve made, all the things we’ve done, all the things we still have yet to achieve. All the good, all the bad. But I think it’s safe to say, 2015 has been a […]
Stumbling upon London four-piece SHARK DENTIST is not advised if you’re distinctively afraid of noise. This band are openly wild and furiously content about it. Take latest single ‘Cut Myself Shaving’ for example, a riotous punk-fuelled three and a bit minutes of clattering sludge. It’s feral, it’s vicious and it’s totally intoxicating.
Aussie songstress Kita Alexander is winning hearts all around the globe right now, with her easy listening sound. It’s perfectly crafted pop that oozes sophistication. She’s recently released her debut EP titled ‘Like You Want To’ – from the wistful, breezy sweetness of the title track to the funky chilled disco prowess of ‘Wild Heart’, […]
Passionate, bold and heart-baringly honest. It’s these qualities that make the music of Liverpool native BANNERS a true and conquering force. After his previous successes with past singles ‘Shine A Light’ and ‘Ghosts’ earlier in the year, comes a brand new jewel to his crown – ‘Start A Riot’.
