Oi! Stop what you’re doing. School Disco is back with two new singles, Caught in Space and Shooting in the Dark, and we’re super excited to premiere these tunes on IMN. Based in Brighton. *Frank butts in* “Sorry, I need to interrupt, I have a great fact about Brighton. Most people don’t know that when […]
Continue readingReview: Parrot Dream – Woven
I’ve always been intrigued by the process of coming up with a band name. Recently I’ve come across acts titled Turkish Delight (tasty), Captain Handsome, Unqualified Nurse Band, and Pet Crow. Then there’s Brooklyn-based, dream pop idols Parrot Dream. Parrot Dream?!? Amazing. Do Parrot’s dream? Probably about being ten foot and attacking people. I used […]

I’m having such a rubbish day. I woke up late, had to go to the toilet, brush my teeth and have a shower all at the same time. The logistics were all over the place. It was like watching a giraffe on rollerblades trying to play basketball. Then, when I finally got to work, my […]
Continue readingVideo Premiere: Lakes – Reindeer (Ep2)
We have another premiere for you. This time, a video premiere. I think this is the first of its kind on Independent Music News. I digress. Today Lakes will debut the video for their new single, Reindeer. Here’s a bit of blurb from the band about the cinematic piece/s: “Basically, if you were a teenager […]
Continue readingReview: Domiciles – This Is Not A Zen Garden
Shrouded in a beautiful, bewildering haze, Domiciles, a psych-rock five-piece from Dunfermline, present their debut album – This Is Not A Zen Garden. No, it’s not. But what it is is an impressive collage of influences and styles, finely stitched together to create something truly wondrous. The band have been fine-tuning their craft since 2015, […]

Erin Durant returns with her second album Islands, an odyssey of lyrically beautiful songs that will transport you into a dreamy haze where the lines between reality and fiction start to blur. This record is a graceful step forward from Durant’s first self-recorded album, Blueberry Mountain (2016). Whilst still incorporating soothing stripped down arrangements; it […]

Despite the beautiful scenery, Alaska is mostly known for Sarah Palin, Ice Road Truckers, and the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Currently, the whole state is on fire, not one fan or a/c unit can be found for sale, and our governor has some sort of personal vendetta against the entire education system. Alaska’s best hope […]
Continue readingInterview – The Cosmics
If you haven’t heard of The Cosmics, then you need to go and listen to them now. Hailing from Birmingham, the DIY garage punk-rock trio have declared their arrival with a self-titled debut EP. Expect blazing guitar riffage, huge hooks and layered reverb. We recently caught up with the band to talk about the new […]
Continue readingPodcast: A Good Talking To – Moses Rockwell
A lot of people associate the phrase “a good talking to” with scary thoughts. Ones that usually involve a manager scorning your poor performance or when your mom finds out you’ve eaten a full pack of biscuits. Thankfully, the new Independent Music News podcast A Good Talking To features neither. Instead, podcast hosts Adam Howes […]
Continue readingInterview: Husky Loops
I saw Husky Loops live at The Old Blue Last back in 2016 when they first formed. Even when the three-piece were just cutting their teeth, they were sharp. Three years down the line and it seems they are just going from strength to strength, having been picked up by Danger Mouse’s label – 30th […]
