It is a brilliant mix of mutated groove and indie rock and is one of our favourite tracks of the year so far… Stream it below. Continue reading Cabbage – Celebration Of A Disease
It’s been ages since we’ve posted a round up of some of the new music videos we’ve liked. Here then is a Sunday treat for you…eight of the best. Kevin Morby’s title track off his forthcoming record, City Music nearly hits the 7-minute mark and challenges what fans may have come to expect from him. The song builds like a slowly accelerating subway train, as does this … Continue reading Video Round Up

Leeds-based trio Night Owls have announced their return with brand new single Out of My Head, out now via Till Deaf Do us Party Records. It builds handsomely on the fuzz-drenched, slacker-influenced grunge pop of their 2016 debut EP Informaldehyde. By taking a leaf out of the shoegaze scene handbook, the new single sees them taking a doped-up, dreamy and melodically obtuse approach to their raucous, … Continue reading Night Owls – Out Of My Head
We shared the throbbing, confrontational punk of Chest Pains’ pay-what-you-want single Petrified earlier this month and now we have the follow up for you. Like Petrified, Shame is a track that seethes and churns, frustrations threatening to boil over, but just about held in check by tense guitars that every now and then gallop away backed by a frenzy of clattering percussion. Good stuff indeed. Listen … Continue reading More From Chest Pains
Lo-fi garage punk legends Black Mekon are back with a new LP One In The Hate. It will see a worldwide release on 25th August via PNKSLM Recordings. It is the long awaited follow up to 2013’s Stolen Bible 2. The masked duo (Black Mekon, and his brother Black Mekon) keep the same raw energy heard on the previous album – and with song titles like Janet Was A Klepto, … Continue reading Return Of Black Mekon
If you’re not yet familiar Erin Rae’s story, she is East Nashville’s go to harmony girl. If you’re listening to a record by Margo Price, Andrew Combs, Anderson East or chatting to Richard Thompson or Aaron Lee Tasjan – they will sing her praises. Now she is finally taking her turn in the spotlight with new single Wild Blue Wind – shimmering analogue synths are … Continue reading Erin Rae – Wild Blue Wind
Following on from the excellent Mind Fire, Theo Verney has released his latest single Letter Down, taken from his debut album One Small Piece. Moody and atmospheric, it successfully blends satisfyingly crunchy guitar breaks with a more reflective, melodic side and even manages to finish like a long lost Pink Floyd track. Intrigued? Stream it below. Continue reading Theo Verney – Letter Down
Danish five piece Lød’s debut track, the pulsating hypnotics of the eight minute Folder has been one of our favourites of the year so far, so we’re delighted to be able to share the second track from their upcoming self titled EP. Today it is the the clanging motorik groove of Så Bla, a minute longer and again sung entirely in Danish, it is just as … Continue reading Lød Share New Single Så Blå
We first posted about L.A. Witch back in March last year and now the threesome have signed to Suicide Squeeze Records for the release of their eponymous debut album. Reverb-drenched guitar jangle and sultry vocals conjure the analogue sound of a collector’s prized 45 from some short-lived footnote cult band. The melodies forgo the bubblegum pop for a druggy haze that straddles the line between … Continue reading L.A. Witch – Untitled
