We have already shared Shake, a track from The Rareflowers self-titled debut EP. Now we have New Generation for your listening pleasure. It substitutes (a little) of the jangly guitars for an irresistibly catchy guitar refrain, but keeps the same warm, upbeat feel as the previous single and is just as damn enjoyable. Stream it here.

Northeastern fuzz-rockers Ovlov, recently announced their sophomore full-length, Tru, due out July 20th from Exploding In Sound Records.

IDLES have confirmed details for the follow up to last year’s excellent debut album Brutalism. The much anticipated record is titled Joy as an Act of Resistance, and will be out August 31st via Partisan Records.

The Bristol band have also shared the … Continue reading IDLES – Danny Nedelko
Feels comes from the debut album from Chicago based Deeper. Nine tracks channel the anxiety and uneasiness of modern life in this pit of endless internet, chiming post punk rave ups with pointed “of the times” lyrics and some tatsy ambient interludes woven in. Have a listen. Continue reading Deeper – Feels
At the tail end of last year we shared Drahla’s excellent track Silk Spirit, and now the Leeds three-piece have signed with Brooklyn’s wonderful Captured Tracks label and are back with a new single, Twelve Divisions Of The Day. It is another naggingly insistent tune blending the band’s wiry art-rock with krautrock inspired experimentalism, all underpinned by singer/guitarist Luciel Brown’s captivating spoken drawl. Love this. … Continue reading Drahla – Twelve Divisions Of The Day
Goat Girl first properly came to our attention last year, and their subsequent self-titled debut long player, which came out in April has proved to be an absolute delight. Viper Fish is one of the nineteen songs on the album – all short, sharp, and jagged, filled with ominous foreboding, and with just the right amount of gothic twang – like the Handsome Family meets … Continue reading New Video: Goat Girl – Viper Fish
Shake is the first single off of NJ-based three-piece The Rareflowers’ debut, self-titled EP. Stream it below – it really is a three and a half minute gem of jangly indie-pop that effortlessly recalls the C86 heyday, or even classic bands like The Replacements. And it does it without ever being derivative, and with a nice contemporary feel. It simply is impossible not to like this! The … Continue reading The Rareflowers – Shake
black midi are an enigmatic new London four-piece that are building quite a buzz for themselves. Taut, frenetic, inventive, and with an off-kilter sound that is so completely their own, it is hard to find adequate words to describe their first single proper, bmbmbm. The best we can do is some anarchic mix of Girl Band, Fat White Family and Scottish legend Ivor Cutler. Make of … Continue reading Introducing >>> black midi
