We’re previously featured LA-based experimental indie-pop quartet FIM when we posted a couple of tracks from their excellent seven track EP Alien Beach Party. So here is another, and while the tracks we previously posted were noisy, manic, and infectious recalling the early freakouts of Butthole Surfers, Ween and Frank Zappa, Love Die signals a shift to the more chill, indie pop side of FIM. The track has a … Continue reading FIM – Love Die

To date rock’n’rolling NY three-piece STRNGRS have released two EPs of originals, a couple covers, and a video of a stripped down live performance from CMJ. They describe themselves as “kinda garage-pop with a blues soul element…” A mess around on their Soundcloud page reveals they’ve been selling themselves a bit short…there are clearly influences ranging from the Stooges and MC5 through to the Black Keys … Continue reading Introducing >>> STRNGRS

The hotly tipped London four piece Wolf Alice have announced details of their new EP, Creature Songs, which will be released on the 26th May through Dirty Hit Records. While we’ve enjoyed previous releases, this EP looks, and sounds, like a big step forward, especially lead track, Moaning Lisa Smile, which opens the EP and showcases the band at their most powerful. It is a snarling single … Continue reading New From Wolf Alice

Hailing from Dublin and Belfast, CRUISING are a kraut-post-punk-inspired party band, including members of Girls Names, September Girls, Logikparty and Sea Pinks. Debut release You Made Me Do That, is as lo-fi and DIY as it comes, the recording and song itself was the result of the first time the band had ever played in a room together and has been described as “a grimy, … Continue reading Introducing >>> CRUISING
Today, Swedish/UK/US all girl quartet The Franklys are digitally releasing their debut single Puppet b/w Imaginarium on Electric Woods Records which is a twisted freakbeat flavoured 7” fiery rocket to the eardrums. The single is a freewheeling slab of garage-rock and 60s inspired Rhythm and Blues, combining raucous hooks, spiraling guitar lines and a tight and taught rhythm section that nods towards the British Invasion bands of … Continue reading The Franklys – Puppet 7″
We love the party-lovin’, irreverent stoner-pop of Brisbane’s The Dune Rats and after a series of infectiously catchy EPs and single releases, they are gearing up for their debut self-titled long-player release via Ratbag Records in a couple of months time (on Dune 1st of course)! This is the first single, Funny Guy, two and a half more minutes of pumped up, guitar-fuelled garage rock that … Continue reading The Dune Rats – Funny Guy
