As one of the hottest artists in the UK rap scene right now, 2021 will be the start of another exciting year for Fredo.

DARLING BOY - ‘TEA DRINKERS OF THE WORLD’

OUT NOW - LISTEN HERE

The Last Exit is the fifth studio album from the Anglo-American duo and their third on indie label Wrecking Light Records. Through their previous releases, Hughes and Murray have crafted an understated and intelligent brand of dream-pop. Their latest offering follows suit as an 11 track sojourn down a desert highway which is characterised by swooning lap-steel guitar complimenting the mournful, almost gothic vocals of Tessa Murray intersecting with Hughes's careful ensemble.

Our featured band this week is a London based desert rock trio called The Howlers, think spaghetti western theme tunes crossed with a solid rhythm section and you’re nearly there. We’ll be chatting to Adam from the band about how the COVID-19 pandemic may affect their forthcoming UK tour and how the band formed in the first place. We’ll also be spinning 3 of their tracks for you to check out. If you haven’t heard of this phenomenal band, you will do soon as they are slowly taking over the world!

Jetty Bones’ debut LP Push Back is out February 26th via Rise Records and can be pre-ordered HERE. Stream the brand-new single “That’s All” HERE and watch the music video HERE.

Since exploding onto the music scene in 2019 with their self-titled debut, PINHDAR have further refined their brand of Psychedelic dark Pop on this latest album. The duo have made a name for themselves on both sides of the Atlantic in the band Nomoredolls; relentlessly playing New York venues like CBGB's, Knitting Factory & Arlene's Grocery and established a loyal US fanbase before moving on to establish PINHDAR. Under the new name and armed with a new sound it wasn’t long before they’d won over the ears of legendary British critic and Rock Music Biographer Kris Needs.
