Emerging from the darkest depths of Hackney Wick in London comes garage-rock outlaws Sleep Eaters with their brilliantly catchy debut single Ghost on Fire out on Strong Island Recordings via digital and a limited run of handmade tapes. It is just over two minutes of cacophonous, fuzzed out, desert, cowboy garage-rock, that sounds like a feral cross between The Black Lips, The Stooges and the … Continue reading Introducing >>> Sleep Eaters

Brilliantly delivering their own louche take on NYC-indebted rock, Dublin art-punks Silverbacks are releasing their new single Dunkirk today via their own PK Miami Records. Underpinned by an insistent, nagging bassline and creepy crawly guitar lines, it provides the ideal vehicle for frontman Daniel O’Kelly’s stream of consciousness ramblings about martial strife, the perfect sandcastle and spotting a con artist when he sees one.
