Dolls have shared the lead track from their forthcoming EP Pop The Bubble. Set for release in September the EP is four garage-pop anthems with as much sass as they have bite. For now, check out Sugar Free, a riotous example of their infectious grunge-punk inspired by “the use-and-throwaway society around us today, how superficial people’s lives can be, and how rapidly people’s values and what’s on-trend can change”. … Continue reading Dolls – Pop The Bubble EP
Untitled (LA) is the second taste from Swearin’s upcoming full length Fall into the Sun, their first for five years. It is another cracking track.
