“There are times”, remarked Chris T Popper, at the end of the Idles gig last night, “when you know you’ve seen a band at exactly the right time”. Touring on the back of the release of their savage, embittered and brilliant debut Brutalism, this was one of those times. Idles are rapidly cementing their place in an already overcrowded genre that stretches from Slaves and … Continue reading Live Review: Idles (Bullingdon, Oxford)

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

We have another brash slab of riotous rock from Charly Bliss and something equally propulsive from Hiccup (should keep the indie kids happy). Trance Farmers slow things down with their ominous new single, while Cotillon’s new track … Continue reading Fourteen Songs You Should Have Heard This Week (Part 2)

We’ve already shared Oakland, California four piece RAYS’ raging single Drop Dead, and now we have another track for you from their upcoming self-titled debut release via Trouble In Mind. New single, Made of Shadows is just over 90 seconds of derisive, reckless, scrappy punk, speaking to the absurdities of everyday life, but with a wry smile. Watch the video below. The album is out on the … Continue reading New Video: RAYS – Made of Shadows
