Bristol band Some Bodies have a brand new single called TV Show. It is beautifully constructed and well crafted indie-pop that utilises a killer krautrock riff, effortlessly intertwining it with ethereal dream-pop breakdowns. Think Ty Segall crossed with Foxygen… maybe. Anyway, have a listen. Continue reading Introducing >>> Some Bodies
Following on from yesterday’s Round Up (Part 1), here are a few quieter, more reflective tunes. But all equally good! First up is Katie Toupin, ex of Houndmouth, and the title track to her new album. Magnetic Moves is a gem of hook filled indie pop. We’re big, big fans of Frog’s ‘wyrd Americana’, and they do not disappoint with latest track Black Friday … Continue reading Mega Round Up (Part 2)
We’ve been catching up (again) on some new tunes and, well frankly, there are just too many of the bloody things. Here are a few of the loud / fast / brutal / noisy ones we’ve really liked from the last month or so, and there’ll be a few more (quieter ones) tomorrow. So here we go… The Hives are back with new single Good … Continue reading Mega Round Up (Part 1)
It’s been out for a couple of months I think, but heard this on 6Music this afternoon and it was one marvellously unholy racket of industrial jackhammer punk set against contrasting deadpan vocals. It’s called Future Thinker by London duo JOHN, and comes from their upcoming album Out Here On The Fringes. Top tune. Order the album here. Check out their Bandcamp page here. Continue reading JOHN – Future Thinker
Songwriter MC Taylor aka Hiss Golden Messenger has shared a new track, Cat’s Eye Blue, from his upcoming album Terms of Surrender. His is a unique and experimental vision aligned to a magpie-like approximation of musical styles – drawing on the great American songbook to create emotional experiences that inspire devotees for life. In turns melancholic, joyful, eerie, bitter, restless and uplifting, the human psyche … Continue reading Hiss Golden Messenger – Cat’s Eye Blue
We shared their brilliant Bad Blood single back in January and now newly signed to Heavenly Recordings, Working Men’s Club’s pounding new single Teeth is a stomping masterpiece, one that bites deep into their broad influences, bringing in machine-subverted rave music you’d find in 80s Detroit, to their NY post-punk grooves, and all delivered with their marvellous Northern snarling approach. Watch the video here. Catch them … Continue reading Working Men’s Club – Teeth
DZ Deathrays have shared the second taste of their forthcoming album Positive Rising: Part 1, which is scheduled for release on Friday 30th August through Alcopop! Records here in the UK. Teaming up with The Bronx frontman Matt Caughthran, who adds his distinctive scream to proceedings, new single Year Of The Dog is a pedal-to-the-metal thrash-party riot. Stream it below. Continue reading DZ Deathrays – Year Of The Dog
Known for delivering layered echo-drenched guitar with heavy, relentless drums, London based duo Black Doldrums are returning with their expansive new EP She Divine on Club AC30. The title refers to Aldous Huxley’s 1954 psychedelia-induced masterpiece The Doors of Perception, where constant reference is made to the search for divinity and how all cultures are united in the need for that same search. Utilising waves of … Continue reading Black Doldrums – She Divine EP
