Track: Dead Stars – In My Mind
In My Mind, the new single from Brooklyn trio Dead Stars owes a lot to the 90s indie (power) pop of the likes of Weezer, Dinosaur Jr and The Lemonheads, but there’s something more than that. There’s still the wash of guitars and the slacker rock vocal lines and the slightly angsty feeling that permeates …

Meet: Stone Cold Fox’s Kevin Olken Henthorn, and listen to their new track, Contagion
We rather fell for the new single, a Contagion, from Brooklyn quintet Stone Cold Fox, when we saw it. Beginning with this rather lovely pulsating synth/indie pop, it’s blessed with a glitteringly catchy melody, that makes repeat ed listenings a bit of a must. As it progresses it grows and morphs, taking in some prog-pop, …

Say Psych: Live, Destruction Unit, Liverpool PsychFest, 25/09/15
I dare you to play a Destruction Unit album quietly. 2013’s effort, ‘Deep Trip’ was the sort of full on assault that leaves you pinned to the back wall screaming for more; and it sounds like the band’s new Sacred Bones album, ‘Negative Feedback Resistor’ might just have upped the game even further This is …

Brooklyn warehouse dwellers and self proclaimed “neo-noir punks”,LODRO play dark, edgy music. Vampish,sensual vocals, drawling guitar and looming drumbeats; LODRO’s sound is the sound of the underground. We grabbed guitarist/songwriter Jeremy and asked him to introduce us to the band, and let us know what they are up to… BM: Tell us how LODRO came to …

Titles Service Industry, it drops on October 16th via Felte, and from it the band have released a new song, Low Hanging Fruit. Equally muscular and …
