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 […]

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 […]
Review: Christelle Bofale – Swim Team
I can’t swim. I nearly drowned when I was ten because my uncle chased my little arse around a Spanish resort and threw it in the pool. Surprisingly my seven-year-old brother could, and he saved my life. I haven’t forgiven my uncle since. He’s a bastard. In my late 20s, I don’t have to worry […]
Song Of The Day: Toronto Blessings – U v U
Today’s song of the day is by Barnsley-based rockers, Toronto Blessings. Entitled U v U, it comes across as a record that will punch you in the face and kick you while you’re down. But if you dig deeper, it actually delves into a distressing subject – depression. “Each day’s the same. Living in a […]
