Anyway we’re back now with a massive backlog of new, and frankly no longer new tunes to share, and we’re going to start with the mighty Girl Band who have also been on hiatus for a while (actually four years) … Continue reading We’re Back… And So Are Girl Band

Leeds-based post-punk outfit Drahla have shared a new single from their upcoming Useless Coordinates LP due out 3rd May on Captured Tracks. Pyramid Estate is another wonderfully disorientating track, clocking in at less than two minutes, thriving on hectic collisions and a sense of hazy, fragmented confusion (particularly some wonderfully skronky saxophone that could have come from a classic Gong album) to create something wholly … Continue reading Drahla Share Pyramid Estate
