Hello boys and girls. Are you enjoying the weather today? It is nice. I’m currently writing this in my underwear. Here’s a picture of what I look like: What a chubby boy. Sorry, I forgot what I’m here to talk about. Oh yeah, today we’re launching the Bandcamp subscription page. For five pound a month, […]

Podcast: A Good Talking To – Daniel Thomas
Daniel Thomas, the founder of Independent Music News, is a hard man to contact. He’s got me blocked on all seven of my Facebook accounts, he refuses to take my calls, and he tells me to “remember the restraining order” every time I approach him in person. But today I, Stephen Billington, demanded answers and […]

Review: 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 […]
Review: Indigo Face – Wild
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 […]
Video 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 […]
Podcast: 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 […]

We’re super excited to premiere the official release of EIRENE’s new single True Love. From Aarhus in Denmark, the trio have dragged their t-shirts and shorts out of the wardrobe and are ready for True Love this summer. Expect pop, expect soul, expect a concoction of summer vibes and great experiences. This is a song […]
Premiere: Soma Sons – IO
Hi. Hello. Bonjour. How are you today? Good? Cool. Today we’re premiering Soma Sons new single, IO. Not 10, you fool. IO! From Manchester, these alt-rockers are too friendly. Perverts. Sorry, not the band-members, I’m referring to their music. It’s dirty in a kinky way. You won’t want a shower after listening to IO; you’ll […]
Story Behind The Song: Toronto Blessings – U v U
I recently reviewed Toronto Blessing’s new single, U v U. The link can be found here if you fancy giving it a read. What I took from the song was a story that was close to my heart. As a sufferer of depression in the past, I know how much it can take over your […]
