Fire Tapes Release Phantoms – Share New Track

Having already shared the distorted, nine minute epic that was Fire Tapes’ Scarlet Cliffs, the band are marking today’s release of new album Phantoms with another track, Skull & Xbones for your guaranteed, listening pleasure. Clocking in at a relatively conservative five minutes, it opens with a fantastically hypnotic riff and creepy, intoned vocals from singer/guitarist Betsy Wright, before developing into a propulsive slab of … Continue reading Fire Tapes Release Phantoms – Share New Track

New Tidal Wars Single

Over a year ago we posted the the very promising debut double A sided single from Bristol’s Tidal Wars. They have a new single now due for release on Art is Hard records, and The Shower Door Rattle is another step forward for the band, evolving their post punk howl into some excellent grungy, psych-tinged, indie rock.
