We’re really enjoying No Pressure taken from London-based garage outfit Spoilers’ upcoming debut LP Anti Vibe. Drawing inspiration from motorik krautrock rhythms as well as the likes of Fugazi and Sonic Youth, it recalls the punchier elements of Dischord Records post-hardcore; melding everything together into a spaced-out grunge gumbo. Anti Vibe is out On November 11th and can be pre-ordered here. Catch them live: 10 … Continue reading Introducing >>> Spoilers
With very little fanfare (so it seems) the wonderful Cave Singers have shared a new song. On their Facebook page, they simply describe You Don’t Know Me as a dreamy number. Turns out they’re right. Have a listen. Continue reading New From The Cave Singers
We’re loving All The While, the first taste from Wildly Idle (Humble Before The Void), the debut album from Hand Habits (aka Meg Duffy). With a organic pensive feel, it is a beautifully constructed song imbued with just the right amount of yearning and intimacy. Gorgeous stuff. Have a listen. Continue reading Hand Habits – All The While
We shared Quiet Quiet Band’s excellent In The Body at the start of the month, but here is the band’s new video for the track. The song is a deliciously lilting country-swing voyaging on a sashaying groove of woody bass and shuffling brushes, while violas flurry and electric guitars flare. Continue reading New Video: Quiet Quiet Band – In The Body
A couple of years ago we described Brooklyn band MAINLAND as creating urgent and erratic tunes influenced by the likes of Guided By Voices and Lou Reed. Now they are back with a burst of uptempo, breezy, indie-pop that is as charming as it is effervescent. Listen to Permission Slip below. Continue reading MAINLAND – Permission Slip

It has been far too long since we heard from Brisbane’s Dune Rats – and we’re ashamed to say we completely missed this when it was released back in May! Anyway, here is Bullshit, a typically thoughtful and considered piece of work from the stoned surfer-punks. Continue reading The Dune Rats – Bullshit
The Men are back in action for their first album since 2014’s Tomorrow’s Hits. Devil Music is a deliberate return to the The Men’s noisy punk roots, and like those early recordings, it’s being self-released on the band’s own We Are The Men Records. Stream the raw two-minute single Crime below. Continue reading The Men – Crime
An unorthodox collaboration borne of Paris and Wales, Fauna Twin is a duo combining ultra suave pop, Lynchian imagery and macabre lyrics rooted in traditional folklore and coming together into one catchy as hell psychedelic labyrinth. A kind of hybrid shoegazish-drama-pop if you will. On their new Hydra EP, standard pop arrangements are twisted into something unique, innovative and subtly savage, and nowhere more so than on Edge of … Continue reading Fauna Twin – Hydra EP
