Emerging from their seedy underground bunker in Stockholm, the former Nancy Ray Gun have resurfaced into a new world under the guise of Calvin Decline. Amid an upsurge of garage bands, Calvin Decline are one of the few groups who aren’t afraid to keep their raw edge. Their debut single, Start A Fire, is a hard-hitting […]

Premiere: The Death Of Robert – Casablanca
If you were to combine the sultry vocal stylings of Nancy Sinatra with the baroque-pop musings of The Last Shadow Puppets, then you’d definitely end up with the quirky sound of The Death Of Robert. Born in Barcelona in 2018, their first album, Casablanca, is a mixture of pop with a dark undertone. The raw […]
Review: Tiger Mimic – It Was Still Dark
When Tiger Mimic arrived in London from their native New York, they brought with them their distinctive sound of alt-rock and refreshing indie melodies. Produced by the talented Kevin Vanbergen (Kid Kapichi / Nova Twins), the band’s new single, It Was Still Dark, has unsurprisingly become a radio hit receiving support from various stations across […]
Premiere: GRETA – Hydrogen
After creating a demand for her music on various European radio stations with her vibrant, almost otherworldly sound, Danish/German-born artist GRETA is a rising star amongst the acts of disco-laden electronic pop that has resurfaced in recent years. Having most recently collaborated with Faroese musician and composer Teitur, GRETA has just finished working with the Norwegian […]
Review: DEADLETTER – Good Old Days
If shouty vocals, spikey guitars and a furious amount of cowbell isn’t your thing, then you should probably move on because the DEADLETTER’s Good Old Days is just that.

Premiere: SWEARS – Warm To The Touch
Not all grunge-meisters are created equal or good for that matter, but thankfully, Middlesbrough band SWEARS are one of the few who have managed to combine influences of grunge rock and doom into a fuzzy, infectious rock-driven sound that’s not just one big noise fest. With the release of their forthcoming EP, Seersucker, on the […]
You Need To Hear This: The Roseline – Good/Grief
The late, great Kenny Rogers once said that “music should make you laugh, make you cry or make you think” and he certainly wasn’t wrong. There is one thing country/Americana music does better than most genres in that it can draw the listener in with its unique four-minute storytelling and give the audience a chance […]
You Need To Hear This: The By Gods – Goldy
On October 1st 2017, Stephen Paddock took it upon himself to kill fifty-eight people at the Harvest Festival in Las Vegas in what would become the largest mass shooting by an individual in US history. We could sit around for hours debating gun violence, mental illness and terrorist attacks, but sometimes these things are best […]
Review: Seagoth – Internet Cafe
We’ve had the garage bands, and now the millennials have brought us the low-fi hum of the bedroom pop genre. This fuzzy but surprisingly polished sound is not like the demos you would sit around recording on a cheap acoustic guitar into an already half defunct cassette player thinking you had somehow become Kurt Cobain.
