Videos of the Day: Coves || Nine Black Alps || Wytches || Thespians

The excellent 60s infused, indie psych-rock duo Coves kick off our videos for Monday with a film for new track Beatings, which is the first single from their forthcoming debut album. We also have the video for Novokaine, the new single from grunge-rockers Nine Black Alps and from the much heralded Wytches comes the video for new single Robe For Juda, which is possibly the surf-doom … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Coves || Nine Black Alps || Wytches || Thespians

Introducing >>> Theo Verney

On his new five track EP, Heavy Sunn, Theo Verney practises a kind of gnarled, grizzly mix of garage rock, psychedelia and grunge that more than pays its dues to his heroes Hendrix, Beefheart and Black Sabbath.

Best of all though, is the combination of 60s girl-group harmonies, buzzing feedback, waspish lyrics, and sparse, driving percussion that makes Portions for Fatties a deeply satisfying … Continue reading Introducing >>> People Person
