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 …
Track: The Vaselines releases new single, One Lost Year
The Vaselines adventure shows no sign of stopping. The band have returned with news of a new album, V for Vaselines, which is out on September 29th via Rosary Music. Lets not forget, this is 25 years after their debut came out on the legendary 53rd & 3rd label, with the band and its two …
See: Knuckle release video for “Living Hell”
We’ve written about punk blues two piece Knuckle before. The pair, drummer Ben Wallbanks and singer/guitarist Jonny Firth describe themselves as being ‘The Black Keys on Crack’, and are gaining a reputation for their explosive live sets, which has seen them support the likes of Little Barrie and Holy Mountain. They’ve now released a video …
Track: Jamie XX – All Under One Roof Raving
Yeah, it’s been out a while since it came out, well – a couple of weeks or so, but we’re writing about it now. Why? Because, like Jamie XX, I’m away from home, and it was thoughts of home inspired his new track ‘All under one roof raving’. homefor me isnt London but home nevertheless, …
New Music: CuT – Let’s Go
Doing it yourself has always been an ethos worth following by Punk bands, and certainly London space-punk quartet CuT have immersed themselves in it. Out on July 28th is their new single, Lets Go, and its certainly an intoxicating blend of Ramones style DIY adrenelin fuelled punk rock, heavy fuzz, and immediately singable pop melodies. …
New Music: Depeche Mode – Little Universe (Boys Noize Remix)
Alex Ridha, aka Boys Noize, has taken the original stripped back production of ‘Little Universe’ (that concentrated more on Dave Gahan’s vocal and simple electronic beats) and turned it into a full on acid house rave. There’s more urgency in the vocal delivery and production, a nice electronic snare drum that all gets whipped up …
New Music: Dressmaker – Glass
Emerging from the London fog in 2013, Dressmaker have built up quite a reputation as a must see live act. Fearsomely loud, unashamedly menacing, their mix of rough cut, raw nerve guitars over waves of delicious feedback is a heady cocktail that will have you wrestling your comparisons between Joy Division, Jesus & Mary Chain, …

Tasmanian indie-shoegazers Lyke Gia return following the release of their debut album, with a new single, Let Up, out on August 4th. The band has been on an upward curve, gaining blog love from around the world whilst back home performing at The Falls Festival and supporting bands such as British India and Faker. The …
