New Single From The Deadline Shakes

The Deadline Shakes will release their new single Slipping From Your Heart on the 10th November. It is an indie showstopper that somehow seems to steal, magpie like, from every preceding decade of rock’n’roll and every single mainstream genre from bombastic rock to disco via glam, and still manage to come up with something as fresh sounding as it is retro. We like it more … Continue reading New Single From The Deadline Shakes

All-girl garage four-piece The Franklys are set to release their next single What You Said on the 13th October. It is a masterpiece of broken-heart-black-eye garage-rock wizardry, that follows their previous 7″ Puppet (posted here) and, if anything, increases the ferocious tempo and knuckle cracking percussion up even further. Maybe, even up to eleven! Have a listen. Continue reading The Franklys – What You Said
