See: Ghosts Of Eden release video to “Happy”
There’s nothing too groundbreaking about “Happy”, the new song from New York quartet Ghosts of Eden, but its just the sort of power pop / rock that impossible not to like. There’s this rollercoaster riff, driven on by the drums and garnished by vocalist/guitarist Tom’s gruff delivery. Suddenly though, right in the middle of a …
See: Tear Talk release video for ‘Realise’
Realise is the new track from Liverpool five piece Tear Talk, aka Josh Miller (Vocals/ Guitar), Liam Bates (Guitar), Iain Currie (Bass Guitar), Luis Winder (Keyboards) & Tom Manning (Drums). It comes off the back of their now long sold out debut 7″ ‘B R E A T H E’, which came out last year …
New Music: Andrew Keoghan releases the quirky indie pop of Better Company
Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand and now based in Brooklyn, Andrew Keoghan seems to have successfully infused a cool naivety with a quirky, knowing feel to his new single, “Better Company”. I can’t help think of archetypal New York band, Tom Tom Club in the bouncy instrumentation and Jonathan Richman or David Byrne in the …
New Music: Falling In Reverse – God, If You Are Above…
The latter years of the first decade in the millennium were not Ronnie Radke’s finest hour. After leaving his role as vocalist in Escape The Fate, and spending some time in jail, many people probably didn’t have much faith in his return to the music industry. However, with his incarceration spent writing songs for his …
Track: Spank Rock – The Upside EP
Out now on Boysnoize Records is the new EP from Baltimore electro / rapper Spank Rock. He might have burst on the scene with the seminal Yoyoyoyoyo album which dropped back in 2006, but since then he’s released a slew of releases, including 2008’s Bangers and Cash EP and 2011’s ‘Everything is Boring and Everyone …
Say Psych: New Music, A Quest EP by Wall/Eyed
Wall/Eyed are a four-piece from Paris, who formed in late 2013. They describe their music as taking inspiration from ‘post-psychedelicism and Bauhaus’, which is an intriguing combination which would suggest to me that it might be in the direction of Shoegaze. Indeed, while the band’s music does consist of elements that are both introvert and …
Track: Cedie Janson – “Light Curve”
There’s something mesmerising about this new release from Brisbane’s Cedie Janson – layers upon layers of complex percussive beats with a bubbling bass and a distant voice massage your ears. It is pure electronica – maybe not my usual listening preference – but very nicely done and impressively atmospheric:This track is off Janson’s debut EP cassette due …
See: ¡Forward, Russia! release Live at the Brudenell Film
What do you get when you cross a (increasingly) legendary venue in Leeds with a band (also from Leeds) that have been much loved and much missed. Well, step forward one of the genuine ‘alternative’ bands from the last few years, four piece ¡Forward Russia! and celebrations for the centenary of the Brudenell Social Club. …
See: A Place To Bury Strangers release video for ‘Straight’ + Album and tour news.
You should never judge a book by its cover. Yep; can agree with that. But when it comes to music, should you judge a band by their name? I’m not sure on this one, but one thing I am sure of, is that I’ve always thought ‘A Place To Bury Strangers’ was a great name for …
Track: The Wytches – ‘Weights & Ties’
They’ve just completed their biggest headline tour to date, with sell out shows throughout the UK, and going down a storm in the good ole US of A. If you were lucky enough to have caught one of the gigs, you’ll be abruptly aware of how pleasurably raucous The Wytches live set can be. Dirty …
