Fontaines D.C. have shared a second track from their forthcoming album A Hero’s Death – out July 31 via Partisan. I Don’t Belong opens the album and with its lonely intensity, stands in stark relief to the swagger that kicked off their debut album last year (Big). Watch the video and take in all its brooding, resigned brilliance. File somewhere between the Pixies and Joy … Continue reading Fontaines D.C. – I Don’t Belong

Bristol group LICE have released their new single Arbiter via their own label SETTLED LAW. The A side is woozy, disorientating and industrial, a brilliantly deranged savaging of modern day mindless fad-following that is menacing and confrontational and uncompromising – unlike so much else that is out there. It is backed with Folla, an experimental mash of the weird and the wired, intoned vocals over samples … Continue reading New Single From LICE

Citing influences that range from Scritti Politti, XTC and Wire to Gang of Four, Zounds and Fugazi, Brighton’s anarcho-punks Austerity display angular chops, buzzsaw guitars and brutalist vocals that switch effortlessly from quiet defiance to guttural rage. Featuring fan-filmed submissions, they have shared the video for their latest single, Imperialism. A potent and uplifting antidote to the pressure of lockdown that more than keeps the … Continue reading New Video: Austerity – Imperialism
Released last Friday on Don Giovanni Records, When You Found Forever is the second full-length by Brooklyn’s Painted Zeros aka Katie Lau. We’ve been listening and it is a very beguiling collection, expertly mixing punk with some wall of sound shoegaze, whilst elsewhere delivering some gorgeously sparse, acoustically tinged indie-pop. It is well worth a listen and we have two perfect examples for you – … Continue reading Painted Zeros – When You Found Forever
Although Protomartyr have had to shift the release date of their upcoming fifth album Ultimate Success Today back to July instead of yesterday, they have still shared a third, thrilling track from the record. Michigan Hammers is the band at their most forceful, all needling, throbbing disquiet and angst wrapped up in relentless staccato guitar squalls. As singer Joe Casey intones, “What’s been torn down can be … Continue reading Protomartyr – Michigan Hammers

Eddy Current Suppression Ring have shared a new animated video for single, Vicariously Living, which is taken from their LP, All In Good Time, released in December of last year (buy here). The album was their first for almost ten years and is full of jerky, propulsive post-punk anthems; songs that writhe, twist, double back and explode whilst never losing their rhythmic groove. Watch it here. … Continue reading New Video: Eddy Current Suppression Ring – Vicariously Living
Nottingham trio Attraktors have a rich pedigree comprised of former members of Julian Cope’s band, Six By Seven, Bivouac, The Selector and The Nectarine No. 9, who together make a rather fetching noise amalgamating the best bits of krautrock, kosmische, spacerock, artrock and synthpop into a single idealised whole. Travelling a gamut from proto-punk to moments of melancholy whimsy, the record remains resolutely anchored within its … Continue reading Introducing >>> Attraktors
