Out last month was the Tom Robinson supported Amputated Spirit, backed by a previously unreleased b-side For The Love feat. Acts. Amputated State lays down this …

New Music: Freddie Gibbs / Young Thug / A$AP Ferg – Old English
‘Old English’ really shouldn’t work. A track which features such disparate vocal talents – Gibbs’ guttural gangsta rap growl, Young Thug’s unhinged yelp and A$AP Ferg’s demented bark – with such different approaches in their own music – it’s hard to imagine that hip-hop traditionalist thinks much of Young Thug’s ‘Picacho‘ – shouldn’t work, but …
Track: Table Scraps – ‘Bug’
Fancy getting down and dirty? Well here’s a slab of unadulterated backstreet punk. Meet Table Scraps. Scott Vincent Abbott and Poppy Twist from Birmingham might be only just around 12 months old, but they look and sound like a whole bunch of trouble, and are building a rep as one hell of a garage punk …
Track: High Hazels release new single, Misbehave
Named after a local park, the High Hazels have set about to make Sheffield proud, releasing rich, golden songs that’ll fill your head and melt your heart. I first saw these boys at Tramlines 2013, lost in Weston Park, with only the melodic notes of the High Hazels to guide my way. Since then I’ve seen this …

Psych Insight: Grass On The Sun – The Corner / Feel it Coming
There seems to be a very healthy Italian psych scene at the moment and, like in the late 60s and early 70s, there seems to be quite a range of bands out there. These include In Zaire and The Diaphanoids, both of whom I wrote about recently, and The Vickers: also Backseat Mafia favourites. These …
New Music: One Eyed Wayne ‘After The Break’
I don’t watch much TV myself anymore. Not quite sure when it happened, but I know why. Most of what’s on is shit and I got sick of adverts telling me what to do, what to wear, what to eat. I’m don’t think I’m alone in this disdain for modern TV and the advertisement break, …
Track: Rebecca Clements releases new single, Coma Boy
Here’s an admission. We missed the debut single ‘Wildlife’ from 19 year old Bristol singer-songwriter Rebecca Clements. Listening to it now, we are kicking ourselves we did, as its breathtaking, heartstopping beauty is hard not to love. She’s followed it up with a new track, again collaborating with producer Iain Archer. Called ‘Comaboy’, Clements proves …
