NEW ALBUM ‘PRIMETIME ENTERTAINMENT’ OUT 9 SEPTEMBER 2022, VIA XTRA MILE RECORDINGS

The heavy bass then enters the soundscape along with some emphatic drumming that you can feel in your chest. Bigman himself then comes in with his snarling remarks of anger towards the establishment and the conventions of the working world.

Her Skin describes herself as a Caramelised singer songwriter with an intimate freak folk and faded punk flavour filling and this track is the perfect embodiment of that. A simple but clever soundscape allows the lyrics to breathe and feel as if she is in the room talking to the listener. There is also a precise use of layering throughout the track to create distinct rise and falls, heightening the emotive content throughout.

The music video for the track was released on YouTube over on the 22nd of July. Directed by Giacomo Sala, the video further proves how much thought Kihmy has put into this entire song as a piece of art; a carefully manufactured atmosphere guided by soft piano and deep-ocean vocals.

What makes this release special is the fact that it provides a much deeper insight into the personality and vibe that drives this artist and his vision. Instead of getting stuck in the usual creative clichés, Connor likes to shuffle the decks and try new things. This release is a perfect example of that.

This self-produced track is the first from pop rock duo Paper Hands and it demonstrates their new, unique sound. Echoing bands from the likes of The 1975 and Maximo Park, Paper Hands have emerged with their own exclusive style that it hard to compare.

With over 2M streams in stores across the US, Theresa is no stranger to getting her music heard and ‘Magic’ is the next in line for this inspired pop artist. Co-written with Spence Ludwig, this track shows the progression Theresa has made from her debut single back in 2019 and cements her place on the pop scene.

Let me introduce you to maere. A band that is sure to capture your attention instantly with the help from their sleek new alternative R&B single ‘Red Room’. Putting their best foot forward and drawing on the underground vibey aesthetic that maere’s loyal followers have grown to love, it’s certain that ‘Red Room’ is going to be a hit.

We were fortunate enough to see KULA SHAKER when they performed at CHAGSTOCK recently and whilst onsite, we were due to chat to Crispian Mills from the band. Owing to an exceptionally busy day, this didn’t happen but we managed to catch up to Crispian via the powers of the internet. Read on to see how we got on….

Totnes band HEARING AID BEIGE have just released their latest offering ‘Birthday’, a sun soaked, slow burning track with groovy bass, a killer guitar solo, a smidgen of sax and lyrics that take me back to the simpler times of the early 70’s when things were just…..simpler. This is dream pop at it’s very best!

Yes folks, CAMP BESTIVAL is back and we’re there to capture the action, check out the photos that we have taken so far, plenty more to follow.

The year 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of Aqua's debut album ‘Aquarium’ and iconic global hit Barbie Girl’.

This will be celebrated and marked by an exclusive re-release of the album on September 9th.

Whilst at CHAGSTOCK, we chatted to a bunch of bands either before or after their performances over the weekend. Below, you’ll find links to them including a brief synopsis of what we discussed, enjoy!

I thought that this moment might never arise. Originally scheduled for April 2020, the performance was delayed twice, maybe even three times by the spectre of Covid. Then, somewhat fortuitously, the venue rescheduled for the first full evening of the summer holidays (for teachers, at least). So, here I was, alive and expectantly waiting for the singular wave of nostalgia to empty on top of me. Was there ever a chance of disappointment?
