Scott & Charlene’s Wedding – Don’t Bother Me

Following the upcoming release of new EP Delivered, Scott And Charlene’s Wedding return with new single Don’t Bother Me, out 8th July on Fire Records. Don’t Bother Me is another in the band’s collection of irresistible pumped up slacker pop anthems, one which recalls The Lemonheads at their best. Dysfunctional and disenchanted, our care-free but knowing protagonist ain’t growing up and doesn’t give a damn … Continue reading Scott & Charlene’s Wedding – Don’t Bother Me

New From Honeyblood

Honeyblood the Glasgow two-piece, have shared their incendiary new single and video Ready For Magic. Detuned doom riffage and disco-punk rhythms make space for a tornado of a chorus ode to “the explosive nature of infatuation“. It is a perfect match for the video which is set in post-apocalyptic Scottish countryside, and follows a tribe of young feral girls who’ve been abandoned and left to fend for themselves in … Continue reading New From Honeyblood

Delagoon – Somehow

We’re a little late to the party with this one, but it is such an infectiously good slice of retro new-wave pop that we had to share it anyway. The track is Somehow by Stockholm’s Delagoon and it sounds like it has been dragged directly from the 80s heyday of The Cure, The Teardrop Explodes et al, and then spiced up with a dash of Scandinavian dream-pop. … Continue reading Delagoon – Somehow

TERRY – Chitter Chatter

Having already posted the excellent Don’t Say Sorry and Third War from hectic, Aussie art-punks TERRY, we now have another tune to share with you from their debut album Terry HQ. This time it is Chitter Chatter, a perfectly judged mish-mash of 70s influenced NY punk and some twisted, bittersweet glam-pop. Marvellous stuff – listen below.   Continue reading TERRY – Chitter Chatter
