A Good Talking To podcast is back. Yes, we’ve been away for a couple of months, but now we return with an interview with Oliver Manning; a singer, songwriter, podcaster and meditator. He also likes red wine, which is a Brucie Bonus. Wow, what an old reference. I apologize profusely. On this episode, we had […]

Hello boys and girls. Are you enjoying the weather today? It is nice. I’m currently writing this in my underwear. Here’s a picture of what I look like: What a chubby boy. Sorry, I forgot what I’m here to talk about. Oh yeah, today we’re launching the Bandcamp subscription page. For five pound a month, […]
Continue readingPodcast: A Good Talking To – Daniel Thomas
Daniel Thomas, the founder of Independent Music News, is a hard man to contact. He’s got me blocked on all seven of my Facebook accounts, he refuses to take my calls, and he tells me to “remember the restraining order” every time I approach him in person. But today I, Stephen Billington, demanded answers and […]

Carriers is the project of Curt Kiser; a Cincinnati-based musical genius.

Continue readingReview: Parrot Dream – Woven
I’ve always been intrigued by the process of coming up with a band name. Recently I’ve come across acts titled Turkish Delight (tasty), Captain Handsome, Unqualified Nurse Band, and Pet Crow. Then there’s Brooklyn-based, dream pop idols Parrot Dream. Parrot Dream?!? Amazing. Do Parrot’s dream? Probably about being ten foot and attacking people. I used […]

I’m having such a rubbish day. I woke up late, had to go to the toilet, brush my teeth and have a shower all at the same time. The logistics were all over the place. It was like watching a giraffe on rollerblades trying to play basketball. Then, when I finally got to work, my […]
Continue readingVideo Premiere: Lakes – Reindeer (Ep2)
We have another premiere for you. This time, a video premiere. I think this is the first of its kind on Independent Music News. I digress. Today Lakes will debut the video for their new single, Reindeer. Here’s a bit of blurb from the band about the cinematic piece/s: “Basically, if you were a teenager […]

Shrouded in a beautiful, bewildering haze, Domiciles, a psych-rock five-piece from Dunfermline, present their debut album – This Is Not A Zen Garden. No, it’s not. But what it is is an impressive collage of influences and styles, finely stitched together to create something truly wondrous. The band have been fine-tuning their craft since 2015, […]
