Having grown up in a small hippy town in Colorado, Katie Burden presents music that can only be described as an amalgam of finely tuned qualities. She mixes all the best parts of her dark pop sensibility to create an incredible new EP called Edge Of Sleep, and if you do one thing today, I’m urging […]

Review: SKULDPADDA – Red Moon
A brand new single from Gothenburg-based SKULDPADDA dropped today, and we couldn’t be more chuffed about it. Their debut album, Little Islands, boasts more than a whopping hundred thousand streams to date following its release in May 2019. Good work! Almost a year on, Red Moon marks the first release from their second album, Commitment, which is due for […]
Premiere: MARBL – You (Make Me Feel Brand New)
It’s hump day, boys and girls. Only two more days till the weekend. I bet you can’t wait, can you? I can’t. My Saturday will consist of sleeping, eating junk food, and drinking a bottle of wine or two. Sunday, I’ll probably be nursing a hangover while indulging in a bit of MARBL; a folk/pop/indie […]
Review: The Worms – Back To The Bog
Disjointed drums and demented guitars introduce us to the wild ride that is Back To The Bog, the new album by London-based punk trio The Worms. With energy simply oozing out of the speakers, this is a band that just won’t let up. Featuring members from Primitive Parts, Cold Pumas, Omi Palone, and Primetime, they carved out an […]
Song Of The Day: The Column – Tastes The Same
Tastes The Same is the first single released from The Column’s upcoming EP, Sparrow’s Tongue. If you’re a fan of bands like The National, you’ll love this. Low range moody vocals and upbeat instrumentation is a distinctive and winning combination, and The Column definitely hold their own in this arena. The project has been described as “music […]

Review: LIME – Surf N Turf
I’m fond of limes. The most underrated fruit, they make a mean key lime pie, taste delicious in a corona or mojito and are a beautiful addition to a tarka dhal. I’d take a bath in lime juice, but I’d probably burn my skin off. Thankfully, I won’t have to experience that horrific ordeal in […]
Song Of The Day: Ella’s Brother – Sweet & Vicious
Edinburgh-based Raff Eragona, formerly of indie band The OK Social Club, is now flying solo under the pseudonym Ella’s Brother. In this exciting project, Raff has delved into new territory, writing and recording everything himself from home with the help of bassist Gordy Burn. Experimentation and improvisation have been harnessed to create something fresh, individual and […]
Song Of The Day: June Pageant – Wundergurl
The beginning moment’s of June Pageant’s Wundergurl present themselves as a dreamy mix of sustained ambient chords and a driving drum and bass groove. Lauren Rosato’s soft-spoken, intimate vocal delivery enters the song and compliments the subtlety of the instrumentation, tying together the delicate feel. Her melody sits very nicely atop the keys, harmonizing with the voicings […]
Premiere: Love Val – Ibuprofen
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 […]
