You need to hear this. You really do. Part one. Nicole Oberle – Skin. Part two. The Novus – Frosty. — I have a frosty personality. I’m emotionally cold, arrogant, aloof, and unfriendly on most days. Today, I was at peak status. My work colleague Barbara has just had a child. Its name is Phil. I […]
Author archives: Daniel Thomas
Premiere: Subtopian Planning Board – Things We Couldn’t Kill
“Do you want a fight? I’ll kill you!” – This is what Daniel Thomas would say in an alternative reality. He’d be a massive gangster with six arms, three legs and have a two hundred and sixty pack. How is that even possible? He goes to the gym sixteen times a day. That’s how bitch! […]
Song Of The Day: Swine Tax – Browsing
Swine: a worthless or unpleasant person. Swine + Daniel Thomas = dickhead. Swine + post-punk = Swine Tax. I was never good at maths at school. Biology, though, I got a decent grade in that subject, and all this recent coronavirus talk is bringing back memories. In year eleven, my school headteacher Mr Cough (no […]
New Release: Compilation Album – New Year, New Music
It’s Friyay today. Yay because it’s payday and everyone can go wild over the weekend, but also the new Independent Music News compilation album, New Year, Music Music, is out, and available to download for just £5.

Review: Norton – Passengers
Norton are an indie rock band from Castelo Branco, Portugal. I’ve never visited the southern European country, but now I have a reason to. First thing I’d do, visit the band members of Norton and eat copious amounts of bacalhau, sardines and cheese and get drunk on Vinho do Douro and Ginjinha. I’d then get […]
Review: Andy Cook – If Walls Could Talk
If Walls Could Talk, they’d be grasses. You wouldn’t be able to smoke weed at 5 am, jerk off to weird porn or even play with your WWE toy collection at home anymore because Pete would tell everyone. Yes, I’m naming my bedroom wall Pete, and yes, he’s a little snitch. I had to spend three […]
Feature: Ones To Watch 2020 – Part One
At the start of every year, music blogs and websites all around the world root around Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Spotify to find their favourite upcoming acts. Independent Music News is no different. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve also asked our social media followers, writers and friends who they think will slay the industry […]
Premiere: Beauty School – I Don’t Like This Party
I once had a bad experience at a beauty school. At sixteen, I had long curly hair and beautiful blue eyes. I was the talk of the town. Every time I entered the room A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton would play. I had a great life, then Sandra ruined it all. I was putting […]
Review: Courting – Football
I’m a football fan. Unfortunately, I support Preston North End too. Throughout the years, the club has been a constant disappointment. We had Graham Westley, who managed the team in 2012/13, and was a real gem. He requested the players train with imaginary gym weights and refer to him as a medal winner. That’s what […]
Premiere: FEARS. – Vampires
I don’t have many fears, but when I saw the subject heading of an email titled Vampires, I quickly deleted it. Like spam mail you get from a Nigerian prince offering you two million pounds because you’re somehow related to him, I thought I was getting conned. That, and the fact that the address was ihavefearsineedhelp@gmail.com, […]
