PREMIERE: Ryan Kaiser lines up new Yot Club EP for January, shares video for unsettled lead single ‘Alive’
You never know where interest can come from when you put your music out there. The Nashville-based Ryan Kaiser knows a thing or two about that; ‘YKWIM?’ was originally found on his Bipolar EP – released in 2019 under the Yot Club moniker – but the song found a new life on TikTok earlier this …

CORNISH post-rock/shoegaze/post-rock trio Mildred Maude really are the coming men, with their first album for the excellent Sonic Cathedral out tomorrow and a tour to follow.

PREMIERE: Full Bush return with title track from December EP
“YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND SHIT!” Well hi there Full Bush, how have you been?

CHRIS PORPORA, the artist whose twin album releases from earlier this year, Time Waits For No One and Days Go By, are the gentlest, brittlest sucker punches to the heart and so should be in your turntables if not your Christmas list, isn’t done with dirty old 2021 yet; he’s looking to round off a …
News: Anita Lane’s ‘Sex O’Clock’ gets a 20th anniversary reissue come December; hear her Gil Scott-Heron cover, ‘Home Is Where The Hatred Is’
BAD SEEDS founder member and smouldering, potent artist in her own right, Anita Lane left us far too young this April, at the age of 61; her on-off solo career had never really received the sales it should’ve been accorded, and she remained underappreciated, seemingly having slipped from view in recent years. But Mute are …

Proving themselves to be in my opinion one of the most dynamic and exciting bands around at the moment, Bandicoot‘s new single ‘Life death and Other Things’ takes them in another theatrical direction, softened by smooth swinging horn toots accentuating the rumbling flow of the track. The slightly discordant, teetering on the brink of chaos, …
Track: The sparkling Jacob Fitzgerald returns with another shimmering pop delight ‘Lonely’ and announces new EP ‘Pretend I’m Cool’.
Jacob Fitzgerald‘s inherent ability to write perfectly formed pop songs that sparkle and shimmer is proven yet again with his new track ‘Lonely’. Pressing gently on the brakes after the fizzy pop of earlier single ‘Pretty Good For My Mind‘, ‘Lonely’ has a slower paced trot and a faint touch of americana in its yearning …
