Following up from ‘It’s Cool To Be In Love’ released earlier this year, long time favourite of Backseat Mafia, Greta Stanley returns with the floating atmospheric ‘Every Time I Think I’m Happy’.

Last month we brought you news of the delightfully snotty young band Radio Free Alice‘s signing to the tremendous Double Drummer label and cast an ear over their frenetic and heart-racing single ‘I Gotta Fall (In Love)’. I described the single as being a breath of fresh air in the current climes – full throttle …

The obscenely young and deliciously snotty Radio Free Alice‘s third single ‘I Gotta (Fall In Love) is a spine tingling slab of frenetic post punk that has deep inside its genes a panoply of very commendable bands.
