Painted Zeros – When You Found Forever

Released last Friday on Don Giovanni Records, When You Found Forever is the second full-length by Brooklyn’s Painted Zeros aka Katie Lau. We’ve been listening and it is a very beguiling collection, expertly mixing punk with some wall of sound shoegaze, whilst elsewhere delivering some gorgeously sparse, acoustically tinged indie-pop. It is well worth a listen and we have two perfect examples for you – … Continue reading Painted Zeros – When You Found Forever

Thee MVPs Share You Ain’t It

Widowspeak – Breadwinner

Like A Motorcycle – Wide Awake & Idols

Four-piece Like A Motorcycle hail from Halifax, Nova Scotia and have a new album, Dead Broke, out soon. Wide Awake is the fizzing, urgent second single from it, about waking up between a past stained with unhealthy choices and a future of bleak dystopian uncertainty.
