Carlisle’s The Lucid Dream are back with a new LP, Actualisation, which was released last week on Holy Are You Recordings, much to the delight of their fiercely loyal fan base. Having formed in 2008 they have a string of sold-out 7″s under their belt, as well as LP’s Songs Of Lies and Deceit released …

Italy’s Throw Down Bones are something of an enigma in the experimental underground – but we hope to change that by bringing you the premiere of their second LP released tomorrow, appropriately titled Two. Since the release of their highly-praised 2015 self-titled album, they’ve picked up a notorious reputation on the European live circuit for …

Peckham’s Imperial Daze have all the swagger and attitude of seasoned indie veterans and in their new single ‘Always Settling’ they have created a brilliant instant classic.

Today we see it manifest in LA’s Death Valley Girls, who are more like a travelling caravan than a band in the traditional sense. At …

Hull grunge trio Bloodhound unite forces with the nightmarish psychedelia of Brooders to bring us their latest single ‘FRSTRTD’. Expansive and menacing, ‘FRSTRTD’ immerses itself in a sludge of bone-grinding guitar riffs and tortured vocals; the result is commanding and visceral. The collaborators climb from a deep-set ennui, drumming up momentum, before unleashing a hellfire …

Following a recalibration and consolidation with their recent electronics-inflected album, 2018’s U.E.F., The Oscillation is back with their sixth and most ambitious album to date, Wasted Space, and to coincide with the release have issued forth hedonistic number ‘Drop’ as well as a string of live dates with label mates Lumerians. “The origins of Wasted …

There aren’t many bands around in the gloomy world of contemporary psych and post-punk who can even come close to The Underground Youth in terms of sheer, relentless work ethic.
