Forget that herbal medicine and throw away your poxy paracetamol, Ibuprofen is here! And it’s the newest release from Love Val, an artist who I’m forced to assume must be in love with the wonders of modern medicine, and it’s ability to cure a hangover quick time. I never thought I’d hear a song inspired by my favourite […]

Premiere: Juliet Garrett – Carry On
Juliet Garrett is an enigmatic figure. Raised by artistic parents on a remote island in New York state, she now spends the majority of her time between London and Brooklyn. She never seems to be in one place for too long though, and this ever-shifting lifestyle is reflected in her music as her sound evokes […]
Premiere: Simon Masterson – Same Blue Jeans
Simon Masterson’s debut single gives us a sharp and distinctly Dublin-esque offering of crunchy guitars and soulful lyrics, and here at Independent Music News, we’re thrilled to be sharing Same Blue Jeans with you. Luring you in with a dissonant descending synth line, life suddenly bursts from the speakers as Masterson delivers a tune so catchy it […]
Premiere: Adam & Elvis – Bedwetters
Sometimes a song barges its way into your life that connects with you in a way that only incredible art can, rocking you to your very core, making you question everything. This is what Bedwetters did for me. It’s a song by Adam & Elvis, and for a moment I wonder if anyone ever clocks when […]
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! […]
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. […]
Video Premiere: Al Jacobi – iLove
In his new single iLove, Denmark born new wave lyricist Al Jacobi tackles issues of obsession, loneliness, and the pursuit of happiness in the digital age. Here at Independent Music News, we’re lucky enough to have been given the chance to share the music video with you and trust us; it’s not every day we come […]
Premiere: Laurens Court – Burn
Even prepared with the knowledge that Laurens Court are an alt-rock band with a DIY against the grain kind of edge, on my first encounter with their new track Burn, I was still surprised to hear an electronic drum intro. I know. Different right? Not what I expected. And the surprises didn’t end there. Electronic […]
Premiere: Pondarosa – Bright Lights
Pondarosa stepped onto the scene with their debut single in March 2019, so they are five relatively new “kids” on the block. Warning: The random nostalgic references don’t end here. The band describe themselves as “indie, rock ‘n’ roll” and pride themselves on their “timeless sound which meshes Britpop, indie rock, shoegaze and dream-pop”. Their […]
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 […]
