New Video: WIRE – The Art Of Persistence

Just five months after the release of their excellent Mind Hive album, WIRE return with a new one titled 10:20. 10:20 features songs the band refers to as ‘strays’. These are recordings of pieces that couldn’t be accommodated on regular albums, as well as compositions that – following their original studio recording – evolved substantially through live performance, and so deserved a new life on record. Originally scheduled … Continue reading New Video: WIRE – The Art Of Persistence

New Video: Percy – Will Of The People

Here is an excellent animated video for left-field post-punk band Percy’s frenzied, vitriolic governmental anti-anthem Will Of The People. The track comes from their new album Seaside Donkeys, which drops on 8th May. The album is an in-your-face scream that represents the gritty realism of the 2020s and the slow, inexorable decay of the UK. Watch it below, and you can also stream the first single … Continue reading New Video: Percy – Will Of The People

Debut Album From Slum Of Legs

Almost five years ago we posted about Brighton’s Slum Of Legs, praising them for their brilliant, motorik punk and then, completely unnoticed by us, the band released their debut album at the end of March. Across ten tracks, the six-piece band are as fierce and as uncompromising as ever, melding defiant dissonance and danceable disco into a sonic whirlwind that somehow manages to be as … Continue reading Debut Album From Slum Of Legs

Introducing >>> The Cool Greenhouse

We’ve become quite taken with the Cool Greenhouse’s new single Life Advice, the second from their forthcoming self-titled debut. It is skewed indie pop of the best kind – a lyrical jab at the kind of pithy, cure-all aphorisms that you find in your useless self-help books or scribble into the margins of your boring diary, and with which the kids seem to have developed … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Cool Greenhouse

Public Body – Naughty On My Bike

Public Body are a new find for us, and yet another band off the seemingly endless Brighton production line. New single, the excellently named, Naughty On My Bike, is a stinging burst of wiry post-punk that takes aim at failing public services. There is lots to like about the track, which summons up influences from Gang of Four to the more contemporary Traams, but Public … Continue reading Public Body – Naughty On My Bike

introducing >>> TV Priest

House of York is the brilliantly propulsive debut single from London four piece TV Priest. Sitting happily somewhere between post-punk, prog and kraut-rock, the band cite the likes of PiL, Stereolab, Ought and The Fall among their formative influences. Watch / stream the single below – a wiry, tense rumination on our  approach to class and the philosophical and psychological impact a monarchy has had on … Continue reading introducing >>> TV Priest
