Scottish duo Man Of Moon will release their excellent debut single The Road backed with This World via Melodic Records on the 17th July. With its unerring motoric groove and shimmering rising peaks the lead track is a song about vocalist Chris Bainbridge’s sisters’ attempts to break free from struggles with anxiety. It has one foot in the UK neo-psychedelic revival, but for five grippingly uneasy minutes it … Continue reading Introducing >>> Man Of Moon

We’ve been long standing fans of Yorkshire based indie rockers Grass House. Following a extended period of touring in support of debut record, 2013’s A Sun Full and Drowning, they are back with a new song, Learning To Less Feel, which is the first taste of their forthcoming new long-player. They describe it as more immediate and punchier, more upbeat even, but the track still has their trademark … Continue reading Grass House Return
We first became aware of Meg Baird as co-founder of the mysterious psych-folk band Espers who released three excellent studio albums. She then went on to form the moody and thunderous Heron Oblivion and has also found time to release two solo records of her own and now has a new solo album Don’t Weigh Down The Light due for release on the 22nd June … Continue reading Meg Baird – Don’t Weigh Down The Light
Agerskow is the music of Newcastle-based Kate Edwards. Her recently released track, Postcard From Whitby is a perfectly judged, fragile ode to growing up in Yorkshire in the 90s and holidaying with family at the North Yorkshire coast – a time for long walks with her grandparents’ labradors, donkey rides along the beach at Filey, Mr. Whippy ice cream and sandy sandwiches. With haunting vocals and … Continue reading Introducing >>> Agerskow
It is more than two years since we’ve posted about Dead Stars, and I have to confess we somehow missed their debut album Slumber last summer. Calm Punk is the band’s first new release since then and is a welcome return and reminder of the Brooklyn-based trio’s fuzzy, hook-filled brand of indie-rock. Stream it here. .

It doesn’t matter when you’re 21 … By our reckoning no one does infectious, feelgood indie-pop like Freedom Fry, the combination of French songstress Marie Seyrat and Michigan-born musical chameleon Bruce Driscoll (also of Blondfire). With each release they up the ante and on irresistible new single 21 they have added in audience vocals and claps from their recent residency at the Echo in LA. Listen below, and let some sunshine … Continue reading New Freedom Fry Single
Lady Bones have shared 24 Hour Party Girl, the second single from the Boston trio’s upcoming full length debut Dying. If follows lead single Botch and takes the band on another rollercoaster ride through rough edged grunge, twisted Americana, and pounding post-punk. The album is one of dark hardcore-edged indie rock haunted by a backwoods twang that sounds more like the product of a band living near the Floridian … Continue reading Lady Bones – 24 Hour Party Girl
Acoustic punk duo Girlpool have shared Cherry Picking, a relationship lament, and the latest single from the band’s much anticipated debut album, Before The World Was Big. Stream it below. . Continue reading Girlpool – Cherry Picking
