I glance over the press release for The Sinner and think about how bloody cheeky and mischievous that title is. Go and sit on the naughty step, Sacropolis, and think about calling your song something more pleasant next time like The Nice Tune or Well, Now That Is Lovely. Seriously though, what a name. I immediately expect a […]
Review: Bryony Williams – I Can Be
The Bryony Williams banger, I Can Be, I have graciously been handed is brimming with self-confidence, and why wouldn’t it be? It’s a song so pleasing to the ears that it reminded me of that time I got thirteen pieces of chicken at KFC instead of twelve. Good Lord, if only my life could meet such […]
Premiere: MY-HI – Digital Depression
Rent your tuxedos and long, sparkly dresses and book a limo, it’s premiere time! Don’t actually do those things. We are still socially distancing. Today’s spotlight shines brightly on MY-HI, an alt-rock band who are releasing a new single tomorrow called Digital Depression. The title alone conjures up thoughts of the effects of the internet […]
You Need To Hear This: Out Of The Woods – Birds And Beasts
Gah! I glance upon the title of the album, Birds And Bees, and I’m instantly taken back to when I had “the talk” with my uncle, who used puppets to demonstrate the lovemaking process. I lead a sheltered life, alright? Oh, hang on. It says I’m reviewing Birds And Beasts. I must have misread that. That’s rendered […]
Premiere: The Green Apple Sea And Wayne Graham – Dark Kid (Ep. 1)
The boss has told me that a premiere is due today, and to get the ribbons and glitter out because, by God, I’m the man to tell you about it. By “boss”, I mean Daniel Thomas; the head honcho at Independent Music News who rules as more of a fearful dictator than a manager. I’m […]
Interview: Alice MC
Similar to a recently divorced parent who’s desperate to win over his kid’s affection by giving more presents and treats than the mother does, we are in tears, baring yet another auditory gift for you. We’re going into interview overload today! This time, Stephen Billington and Adam Howes had a chat with Alice MC. Like […]
Interview: JJ Draper
Stephen Billington has come to Independent Music News with a lot of half-baked ideas, wanting to bring our humble website some attention. However, we’ve had enough after hearing about his latest concept of knocking on people’s doors dressed as a giant musical note. Thankfully, unlike his business ventures, he’s alright at interviewing artists. This week, […]
You Need To Hear This: Child Star – Moon Candy / Slide
Bang the gong, sound the horns and light your crotch on fire! Send whatever signal you can urgently; it’s review o’clock, and I am salivating all over my laptop. jmk;l.jmnhgfhnjbjkkl,;.l/lk,hnjb. Sorry about that, smashed my head into the keyboard. I was being a tad over-enthusiastic. In my defence, I have reason to be. We have […]
Review: J Wade – Lily Of The Valley
As a massive fan of rap and hip-hop, it’s fantastic to see an artist like J Wade get in touch with his latest project, Lily Of The Valley. It’s an EP lasting just over seventeen minutes in length; which is enough time to have that shower you’ve promised yourself all week, do ten push-ups, then […]
Premiere: Neev – Forgiving Light
Time for another premiere! Today’s is by the Scottish singer-songwriter Neev, with the track in question being from her upcoming debut EP; a project that’s gathering much attention and excitement following the release of her previous two singles, Black Over Grey and Tunnel Vision. However, we’re introducing you to Forgiving Light; a song whose delicate charm will complete your day, […]
