So this is it for the current incarnation of Swans. Back in 2010 they rode into a world that was replete with some quite dreary Americana and blew it apart. (OK, I’m talking about my world, but you know…) Not without irony, given Michael Gira’s role with Angels of Light and Young God records. My …

Bayonet

The boys from Bayonet are back with another immensely satisfying slice of indie pop, sounding beautifully retro and yet fresh all at once. “Call Me When it’s Over” begins with a gripping drumbeat and ice cream van -catchy melody which all echo the 80s stylings of the song and video. I’ve often complimented Bayonet on …

It’s been just over a year since the release of Sheffield band MollyAnna’s fantastic “Ghosts” EP, and follow up “Horror Show”, and the band, now expanded to a quintet, are back with new single “Louder”. Inevitable comparisons with Evanescence, you might say, but as something a little bit different to the plethora of “four blokes …

Graces Smile

Sheffield band Graces have set the mark with new single ‘Smile’, released on 10th March 2017, introducing their own brand of cinematic indie-pop to the modern world. The track will be officially launched with a sold-out show at the Rocking Chair, cementing their roots in Sheffield’s rich indie music heritage. ‘Smile’ follows the band’s debut EP …

Tramlines Festival

Sheffield is synonymous with Tramlines, the music event of the year that has transcended above anything anyone could’ve imagined for the inner-city festival that began all those years ago. The first line-up for 2017’s festivities have already been announced, welcoming none other than The Libertines to the main stage on Friday night. They’ll be joined …

Sheffield’s rock scene has always been one we are proud of as a city. The likes of While She Sleeps and Bring Me The Horizon have been the jewell in the crown in recent years, but the underground scene has continued to breed an abundance of bands with equal chances of making equally big waves. …

I do it all the time, but The Clear have twice been the cause of me going the wrong way. Not once, but twice I heard their woozy, soft focus psych take on classic pop on the radio as I drove around at work, and twice ‘Maria Browne’ (for that was the song) caused my …

If you fell in love with Sheffield’s The Clear’s previous single Maria Browne (we certainly did) as it washed all over 6Music playlists and elsewhere, you’ll be pretty glad to hear that ahead of their debut album Patchwork becoming available on vinyl, they’ve released a new single taken from it, The Planets. The band describe …

I first came across London-based four piece Clock Opera back in 2012 when they donned the main stage at Sheffield’s tramlines festival. Their blend of electronic and indie pricked up my ears immediately, and I remember thinking how much they stood out from so many other bands around at the time. Their debut album ‘Ways …

Elyne, a Post-Hardcore band from Ravenna, Italy embarked on a UK tour (well, three out of four did) touring with To Kill Achilles and Scream Blue Murder but even with only three of the band, they gave their all and gave the crowd exactly what they needed to hear. In between songs, frontman Danny (who was …
