Adia Victoria’s musical introduction to the world came in the form of 3 tracks released over 18 months – Stuck In The South, Sea of Sand, and Howlin’ Shame.

Her newest track is Dope Queen Blues, written about her time in Atlanta … Continue reading Adia Victoria – Dope Queen Blues
Loving this track from the upcoming album Warheads by Adam Stone & Dead Sea Apes The record is a full-length collaboration between the writer/artist and the Manchester instrumentalists. It takes classic British pessimism and speculative dystopian fiction and entwines it with morbid social commentary and a long piss-streak of bleak humour.

Shot-by-shot, frame-by-frame, Siren 追逐劇 is a story of galloping hooves and screeching tires—a horse and car racing each other through mountains and desert, charging into the city and all set to a thumping, … Continue reading Gong Gong Gong – Siren 追逐劇
Daytime the new single from New York trio EZTV is a really sweet slice of jangly indie rock that recalls the 60’s heyday of pastoral psychedelia and all those wonderful nugget compilations. Listen here and order here from Bandcamp. Continue reading EZTV – Daytime
Here is our latest collection of musical films for you. A regular pot pourri of musical styles from Girl Skin’s gorgeously fragile chamber folk to Sit Down’s oozing amalgam of doom metal and sludgy punk by way of The Cavemen’s amphetamine-fueled rhythms and scorching guitar, coupled with drunk and disorderly vocal tirades, and First Aid Kit’s ever perfect vocal harmonies. There is Steve Mason’s soulful new … Continue reading Video Round Up
