Fruit Tones – ‘Red Thunder’

  We’ve been a fan of Manchester garage rockers Fruit Tones for a while now so we’re very pleased to announce that the band are finally releasing their debut 7” record this November.… Continue reading →

Whistlejacket – ‘Mr Melon’

  With more fuzz than you can shaky a hairy fist at, Whistlejacket’s newest track ‘Mr. Melon’ revisits the early ‘90s sounds of Ride in a noisy outing that’s somehow still quite soft at… Continue reading →

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – ‘Hot Water’

  The band with the silliest name around, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, are already on their fifth album, as I discovered today. ‘Hot Water’ is their most recent track in what… Continue reading →

Tom Lark – ‘Something To Tell You’

All it needed was just that little “ooh-ooh-ooooh” and I was sold. New Zealander Tom Lark’s lightly psych-soaked bedroom pop is full of charm and his debut EP is a real gem, with… Continue reading →

Kid Wave – ‘Gloom’

Maybe I’m missing the point, but Kid Wave’s ‘Gloom’ really doesn’t sound that gloomy to me. It’s really a happy-go-lucky indie track masquerading as something melancholy – it kind of draws the two… Continue reading →

Coves – ‘Fall Out Of Love’

A new single from Coves gives me a quick chance to retrospectively mention how great their album is! ‘Fall Out Of Love’ is the latest single from their outstanding debut ‘Soft Friday’, which came… Continue reading →

Best New Music: Pinkshinyultrablast – ‘Umi’

  I wouldn’t normally just lift a quote from another blog or website to describe a song but I think Drowned In Sound summed up this band pretty well when they described it… Continue reading →

Jet Setter – ‘Dippin’ Toes’

Dublin’s Jet Setter are signed to Any Other City, who’s past alumni have included noisy fellow Dubliners Girl Band. This bunch are a lot less boisterous though, and on this teasing track they hint… Continue reading →

Best New Music: Clarence Clarity – ‘Those Who Can’t, Cheat’

And the award for the most bizarre track of the week goes to Clarence Clarity – in spectacular fashion, I might add. ‘Those Who Can’t, Cheat’ is the first track from his forthcoming… Continue reading →

Desert Stars – ‘Hamster Wheel’

I’ve come across Brooklyn’s Desert Stars today whilst painstakingly scrolling through the gargantuan line-up of New York’s premiere new band festival CMJ. There’s lots of great, great stuff to be found there, for sure,… Continue reading →

Best New Music: Savoir – ‘Malala’

  “World pop music” might be a good way to describe this debut track from Perth’s Savoir. There’s a lot of woody percussion underpinning a solid drum-and-bass groove on ‘Malala’ – a track… Continue reading →

Yoofs – ‘Can’t Think’

  Yoofs claim to be a “pristine and proggish” indie pop band, but new single ‘Can’t Stop’ isn’t quite as grandiose as that description might suggest. Last time we checked in on them, in… Continue reading →

Pusher – ‘On My Own (Serpentine)’

  Fans of Mark Lanegan might dig Yorkshire newcomers Pusher. Whilst frontman James Gilroy doesn’t quite possess a gravelly snarl of Lanegan’s calibre, ‘On My Own’ does thrive on the same kind of… Continue reading →

Alex Calder – ‘Strange Dreams’

  Alex Calder used to be in a band with Mac DeMarco, and since we last blogged about him back in early 2013 he’s been really strange on his social media networks. Highlights include… Continue reading →

Rev Rev Rev – ‘Catching A Buzz’

  Italians Rev Rev Rev make pulverising shoegaze of the My Bloody Valentine variety – check them out when they visit the UK this month:  Oct 24 – London – The Shacklewell Arms (supporting Damo… Continue reading →

Disaster Artist – ‘Sushi’

  Can’t quite put my finger on what exactly this sounds like but it definitely reminds me of the kind of emo-y pop that was big nearly a decade ago. That’s not a… Continue reading →
