50 Track Round Up #1: Cherry Pickles – Things In The Sky
Coach Party – Can’t Talk, Won’t
Loving this new single from the Isle of Wight’s excellent four-piece, Coach Party. Can’t Talk, Won’t is described perfectly as a uplifting sad banger! A juxtaposition of exhilarating guitars and a great opening riff set against lyrics that are anything but. Think self-loathing meets euphoria and end up going for a pint together. Great tune. Watch the video below. Continue reading Coach Party – Can’t Talk, Won’t
Introducing >>> Teen Creeps
Seeing Shapes is the excellent new single from Teen Creeps, it overflows with fast paced guitar riffs and frantic drumming. It is taken from upcoming album Forever, which is out January 22nd on PIAS Recordings The Belgian based 3-piece love the 90s, and their sound is a high five to the fuzzy guitars, melancholic vocals and fast-paced drums of era defining bands like Dinosaur Jnr., … Continue reading Introducing >>> Teen Creeps
Shame – Alphabet
Loving this restless and relentless new track from Shame, their first release since 2018’s Songs of Praise album. Alphabet is ablaze with manic energy – watch the video which captures the unnerving nature of hypnagogic hallucinations and the distressing way the mind can play tricks on us while dreaming.

New Video: Militarie Gun – Dislocate Me
Militarie Gun’s debut EP, My Life Is Over, is out now via Convulse Records. The Los Angeles-based group was conceived by Regional Justice Center mastermind Ian Shelton and offers a menacingly melodic sound unlike anything he’s done before. Militarie Gun draw on a wide range of influences – from the unhinged guitar work of Born Against, to the propulsive bass of The Jesus Lizard, to … Continue reading New Video: Militarie Gun – Dislocate Me
