Dark Tea is songwriter Gary Canino who will release a self-titled debut album on 22nd March via Fire Talk. It is a collection of warm, country infused Americana and we’re particularly enjoying the first single, Rolling Back The Dial, which also features a rather tasty guitar solo from Meg Duffy (aka Hand Habits). There is something about it that is reminiscent of Dr. Dog or … Continue reading Introducing >>> Dark Tea
Nearly 13 years since his proper debut as Viking Moses, Baltimore musician Brendon Massei is slated to release his fifth album, Cruel Child. The record offers a dozen dusty and deep and wistful explorations of the soul, and Massei sings with a deep and haunted voice reminiscent of Mark Lanegan, Will Oldham, and David Eugene Edwards, but like those masters, Massei is just as adept … Continue reading Viking Moses – Cruel Child Album

Taken from their upcoming second album Bleeding On The Soundtrack, William The Conqueror’s new single Looking for the Cure is a song about redemption. It’s raw, laid-bare song-writing but with an acerbic wit and an overall cathartic effect that turns a dark experience into something more hopeful, even joyous, driven as it is on the back of a furiously infectious folk strum. Have a listen. … Continue reading William The Conqueror – Looking For The Cure
We’re thoroughly enjoying our first introduction to Working Men’s Club. Named after the venues they used to sneak into, they are a new band made up of teenagers from Calder Valley – an area of old mill towns that links Leeds and Manchester. Their jerky debut single Bad Blood fuses 70s Magazine style guitar lines with the stomp of Parquet Courts’ at their most punky. From … Continue reading Introducing >>> Working Men’s Club

Black Country, New Road is a London-based six piece and Athen’s, France is their first single proper. It is a journey in itself. Detailing ‘a spectacular return to bad form; a romantic encounter; and a chronic fear of intercourse’ – it is a labyrinthine slice of indie oddness that, over six minutes, changes direction at every corner with a vocal delivery that sounds like Steve Albini … Continue reading Introducing >>> Black Country, New Road
