Somewhere in the north-west of England, beneath the darkness of a rainy town steeped in industrial woe, a band have formed. Their first release is a fantastic cover of a classic tune. What’s that I hear you say? It must be a cover of The Smiths! Or maybe Joy Division! No, not quite. It’s a […]
Premiere: Döda Havet – Arcana
One of the best things about working at Independent Music News is that we’re not confined to any one area of the world. We get sent music from everywhere on the globe, and this opens us up to stuff that we might never have heard in ordinary circumstances. One such song is Arcana, the latest single […]
Premiere: Tugboat Captain – No Plans (For This Year)
How did indie-pop four-piece Tugboat Captain pen a song so apt for the times A YEAR AGO?! One answer is by complete accident. Another could be witchcraft and time travel shenanigans. I’ll let you decide. Don’t let this distract you from the utter delightfulness of No Plans (For This Year); a wonderful plod through a symphony […]
Premiere: Mama Sonic – Helen Of Troy
Fancy entering Mama Sonic’s bunker for a couple of minutes? Don’t worry! The Swedish indie-pop band aren’t going to murder anyone or randomly pull out a ten-inch dildo. No, they’ve set up their instruments, pressed play on the recording equipment, and whipped out their cameras and boom poles to video a porno. I jest. We’re […]
Premiere: Erotic Secrets Of Pompeii – They Wouldn’t Let Me Write My Book
Punk has taken on many different forms over the years; from its humble garage rock beginnings to its polished pop sound of recent and yet, it’s certainly never been this groovy. Erotic Secrets Of Pompeii have managed to create some of the most chaotic, disconcerting fun and positively danceable music of the year. They Wouldn’t […]
Premiere: Cloud Factory – No Data
With the sun having receded once again, hopes of summer drinking sessions are dashed against the rocks and consumed by the waves of dull British weather. In light of this, I never thought I’d say the words “I love Cloud Factory”, but that day is here. No Data is the latest single by the garage-pop masters. Taken […]
Premiere: Neev – Forgiving Light

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, […]
Premiere: Carmen Mellino – U’re So Pretty
Combining the best parts of ’90s grunge with a modern twist, U’re So Pretty by Carmen Mellino is a beautiful track to dance along to on a rainy day like today. The French-born rocker is just eighteen years old, and yet her music sounds like the work of someone who’s been working at their craft for several […]
Premiere: Tom John Hall – At The Office
We’ve all been there. You’ve just started a new job, and you’re awkwardly chatting with the other humans, the ones known as “colleagues”. You speak about your previous post, the weather, football, and what you hope to achieve. You smile, but none of the words leaving your mouth ring true. Deep inside your earthly shell […]
Premiere: Alleyways – Over It
After delivering the impossibly futuristic and funky Dumb back in March, DIY indie-pop band Alleyways are back with their new single, Over It; a sentiment that can be applied to many walks of life these days. This latest song further adds to the act’s glittery punch and propels them into the stratosphere of the mirrored disco ball. And […]
