indie tracks
Track: Draag – Lavender Hole
Los Angeles five piece Draag have recently announced the follow up to their self titled album, which dropped earlier in the year with a new EP, Tracii Lordz. Produced by fellow LA experimental rocker Jeff Byron, formerly of The Mae Shi’s, the band Jessica Huang (guitar, keys, and vocals), Adrian De La Cruz (guitar), Carlos …
Track: Baywaves – The Freak Kingdom
We wrote about the former Spanish two piece (now expanded to a quartet) with their debut track Dreaming. They’ve returned onto our radar with a new single, The Freak Kingdom. There’s very little to add about the band (either they like skulking in the ‘mysterious’ sections, or they just haven’t put that much information up …
Track: Golden Age Magicians – Turn of the Earth/Home
When you buy a CD from a band you’ve just seen live for the first time, you’re immediately cautious: there’s no guarantee the recorded session is as good as the live performance you’ve just witnessed. You were caught up in the moment – the CD in your hand could be awful. On the other …
Track: Bear’s Den- Think of England
West London based three piece Bear’s Den, aka Andrew Davie (guitar, vocals), Joey Haynes (guitar) and Kev Jones (drums, bass) have already had a good 2014. A well respected debut album, Islands, has led to (at least in part) the bands current tour of American, where they play their biggest ever New York headline date …
Track: D.I.D – Hotel
D.I.D, formerly known as Dog Is Dead, have returned with a brand new single to remind us that they’re still making music and that they shouldn’t be forgotten about just yet. The Nottingham boys have been fairly quiet since their début album, All Our Favourite Stories, which got them noticed far and wide when it …
Track: The Hadron Colliders – Measuring the Space Between Us All
Out on Friday is the debut EP from Sydney band The Hadron Colliders. The band, Arun Kendall on vocals and guitars, Shannon Lewis on keys, Cameron McWilliams on Bass and Mark Duncan on drums hanker back to the heady summer days of the likes of the Sugargliders – soulful indie, the keys adding that extra …
Track: Dirty Dishes – Thank You Come Again
Can we apologise? This has been out a while, and yet we’ve only just got to it, as good as it is. Its by Boston Massachusetts duo Dirty Dishes, aka Jenny Tuite (guitar/vocals) and Alex Molini (synth/bass) who went through that classic boy meets girl at party, boy vomits on girls shoes, boy rings girl …
Track: L.A.’s Street Joy are back with new single, Wrong Cloud
We’ve long been fans of Los Angeles’ Street Joy. They seem to have a never ending stream of indie rock goodness (greatness even) they put out at seemingly regular intervals. The duo, Jason DeMayo – lead vocal, guitar, bass and Scott Zimmerman – drums, backup vocal, have returned with another track Wrong Cloud just in …
See: Slim Twigs creepy video ‘Maintain The Charade’ – perfect for Hallowe’en.
Ghouls and spooks abound on this All Hallows Eve… Slim twig has released the video for ‘Maintain The Charade’. Directed by Meg Remy, the video is ideal for Hallowe’en. Figures wrapped in shrouds wondering around a bleak black and white landscape; struggling for a costume for tonight’s party? This could be just the inspiration you …
Listen: Lovechilde give away “Boris The Spider” as Halloween gift for all.
Trick or treat ? Experimental noise duo Lovechilde kicked off the Hallowe’en season a few weeks ago with the release of the eerie, almost Satanic, ‘Séance For St. Sebastian’ (click HERE to see earlier review). In keeping with the theme, and in a fine act of generosity, they have decided to offer everyone a treat by …
