From their upcoming album Transindifference, …
Meet: Tangerines interview
First came across London band Tangerines at an RIP Records shin dig just over two years ago. At the time we were quite taken, not only by guitarists braces, but more importantly their slightly riotous, but very infectious live set. Fast forward to today, and the band are all set to launch their first single, …
Track: Gabriel Bruce – metal soul
Seemingly on the cusp of big things, largely due to his rich, attractive baritone and songwriting comparisons to the likes of Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen, but since his lauded debut album Love in Arms, things have been quiet.
