New Single From Wharves

Indie-rock quartet, Wharves have shared their brand new single titled Man You Want Me To Be. It is reminiscent to some of the group’s staple influences Foals, The Strokes and City Calm Down, featuring driving disco-esque beats, thumping fuzz-laden bass and classic Brit-pop guitar tones, all capped off by the brooding and infectious vocal melodies of front man, Matthew Collins. Have a listen.   Continue reading New Single From Wharves

Fourteen Songs You Should Have Heard This Week (Part 2)

Part two of our weekly round up of the best tracks from the past seven days kicks off with another fine track from Laura Marling’s new album, and an excellent new single from The Districts. We have another brash slab of riotous rock from Charly Bliss and something equally propulsive from Hiccup (should keep the indie kids happy).

New Happyness Single

Through Windows is the excellent new single from Happyness’ second album Write In. With a chorus that started out as kind of a purposeful mishearing of the Velvet Underground’s Ride Into The Sun, the single has a undercurrent of psych-infused, blissful euphoria that reminds us of prime-time Pink Floyd. Have a listen and check out UK tour dates below.   April Tour Dates: 11 Fulford Arms, York … Continue reading New Happyness Single

Introducing >>> Beth // James

The upcoming debut release from Austin duo Beth // James, All In Life, combines a shimmering mix of modern folk, mindful pop, and Americana charm. We’re loving the first single Lion Eyes, a dark ballad spun from moody tumbleweed electric guitar and iridescent organ, and driven home with a raise-your-bourbon-to-the-sky chorus, lambasting “her lion eyes“, a rally cry against anyone who’s careless with other peoples’ hearts. Stream … Continue reading Introducing >>> Beth // James

Probably the best thing she’s done to date with its garage pop swagger and catchy refrain, you can listen to the single below, and pre-order the … Continue reading ShitKid – Sugartown
