TAKEN FROM THE FORTHCOMING EP:

‘TRAGIC CARPET AND THE MAGICAL WASP GANG FROM NOTRE DAME’

New Partisan Records signing AERIAL EAST recently shared her gorgeously exposed cover of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill”.

With equal parts reverie and intention, her version of the classic track showcases the unvarnished intimacy East is able to create between herself and the listener.

Read on to check out the track.

If you’re yet to catch SLEAFORD MODS live, you really need to be tuning into this live stream that is taking place on Sept 12th from 9pm (GMT). It’s being streamed all over the world so fans can get in on the action no matter where they are.

After a few months of no live music, festivals or musical gatherings, I was starting to lose faith in the industry. Granted, there’s gonna be a massive surge of releases over the next few months and whilst I’m looking forward to that, I only hope that the content of these releases hasn’t been marred by the general feeling of despair driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

I needed a boost, a lift, a general kick up the ‘arris’ to get me back into the swing of things and this came to me recently via.a Scottish hardcore/metal/filth quartet called Razor Sharp Death Blizzard. They released their latest long player The World is Fucked and after hearing it, I wanted to chat to the guys and find out a bit more about what makes them tick. We got together and put all our cards on the table, we chatted to vocalist Jamie Clark about lockdown hobbies, touring Europe in a very small car and why he prefers regular gigs over festivals….

During this period of profound uncertainty, it helps indeed to be reminded that indie pop anthems can still provide some troubled souls with a sense of calm and simple pleasure. SEA GIRLS are in your corner, forging elements of Bastille with brightly formed architecture, reflecting an ambition to erect big banners across the horizon that gently hug and smile with the legend ‘rejoice in the now and be ready to embrace tomorrow’.

This, the fourth in a sequence of releases heralding their third studio album ULTRA MONO this little beauty pulls handily on the choke chain and injects some much-needed punk spirit into our communally-deflated summer. Mine’s a triple Jagermeister with bitter lemon.

It’s been one hell of a ride so far for Birmingham based quartet TALL STORIES, they won a competition which saw them share a stage at TRUCK FEST in 2019 with the likes of SHAME, FONTAINES DC and IDLES, they’ve done karaoke with SPORTS TEAM and they recently released their latest single ‘Nosebleeds’.

I was keen to find out more about the band so I dropped them a line and we arranged to hook up for a chat, read on to see how we got on.

The iconic and legendary band The Wailers return with their new album, One World, released on Sony Music Latin (available here).

In advance of an imminent album release next month, this comparatively new artist, named after the Greek goddess of wild animals, releases a fully-fledged, self-produced four track EP of ‘ethereal’ instrumentals that play around distinctly with the ether and the realms beyond.

The Jaded Hearts Club are a new band featuring frontmen Nic Cester (Jet) and Miles Kane (The Last Shadow Puppets), guitarists Graham Coxon (Blur) and Jamie Davis, plus Matt Bellamy (Muse) on bass and drummer Sean Payne (The Zutons).

They share a new video today for track ‘Reach Out I’ll Be There’ which features Nic Cester lending his growling rock vocals to the Four Tops’ 60’s Motown track.

THE LOFT CLUB STORM UK CASTLE FOR OFFICIAL VIDEO OF “HEARD HER SAY”

DEBUT ALBUM: DREAMING THE IMPOSSIBLE - RELEASED 7 AUGUST 2020

‘Heard Her Say’ is a necessary jolt everyone needs right now…wholly uplifting.” – American Songwriter

“Dizzying synths put 'Mar V' on a waltzer of 80's new wave by way of the Gothicism of the new romantics.” - Gigwise

“epic and drawn-out, with guitar riffs for days and a drumming that can’t stop, won’t stop. Very nice indeed.” - The Rodeo Magazine

The name BABYBIRD resulted from a walk with a good friend in the countryside near Sheffield. Stephen Jones was on the dole, producing 400 songs in his bedroom on a four track recorder. No money, Jones had one pair of shoes with holes in the soles…..

NEW ALBUM: ‘AT HOME’ - OUT 7 AUGUST 2020, VIA SOUL KITCHEN RECORDS

How some people change. When Leicester indie-rockers Young Knives first came to the public's attention, they were somewhat smart. Preppy. Ties, slacks and tweed were not uncommon. A meaner person might say they were odd-balls. Whatever, the starched collars-and-slicked-hair-office-worker look they presented around the time of 2006's debut album 'Voices of Animals and Men' is now out the window, as is the sound they embraced on their four previous studio albums. Taking a look at brothers Henry (or his stage alias "House of Lords") and Thomas Dartnall these days requires the obligatory double-glance. With his long, grungey hair and beard, Thomas looks like the survivor of a particularly rough nuclear apocalypse. He and his brother wear the expressions of men who have seen things. Things no man should see.
