Earlier this month I had the pleasure of reviewing Sweet, the latest single by Brighton based powerhouse Porridge Radio. Once again the seaside town has offered up some of the best new music the country has to offer. Radidas are the electronic dance duo you need to hear in 2020. Their latest single Do It lures you in with […]
Continue readingReview: 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. […]
Continue readingYou Need To Hear This: Nicole Oberle – Skin
You need to hear this. You really do. Part one. Nicole Oberle – Skin. — I’m nosey and enjoy reading about how artists came to be, and who they are behind their music, so I was initially disappointed when my Nicole Oberle stalk (not in a creepy way) came up pretty short. In a digital […]
Continue readingReview: False Heads – Rabbit Hole
I suppose I’d better start this review off with a confession. I’m a very calm gentleman who rarely shows any level of happiness or joy unless I find a fiver on the floor or a child hurts themselves on TV. Quite honestly, it’s problematic. My girlfriend is leaving me. But hold on – I wack […]
Continue readingSong Of The Day: Swine Tax – Browsing
Swine: a worthless or unpleasant person. Swine + Daniel Thomas = dickhead. Swine + post-punk = Swine Tax. I was never good at maths at school. Biology, though, I got a decent grade in that subject, and all this recent coronavirus talk is bringing back memories. In year eleven, my school headteacher Mr Cough (no […]
Continue readingVideo 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 […]
Continue readingFeature: Ones To Watch 2020 – Part Two
Following on from part one, this week’s feature continues to bring you more of the artists we think will “smash it” in 2020. The first on the list is my new personal favourite. Enjoy. — Dolphin Centre Who doesn’t love dolphins, right? SOLD. But beyond the name, we’re entirely hooked. The Manchester-based five-piece bring something […]
Continue readingPremiere: 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 […]
Continue readingNew Release: Compilation Album – New Year, New Music
It’s Friyay today. Yay because it’s payday and everyone can go wild over the weekend, but also the new Independent Music News compilation album, New Year, Music Music, is out, and available to download for just £5. What a bargain. It features all these great acts too: SPQR, Courting, Football FC, Fiendz YT, Hazeydays, The […]
Continue readingPremiere: 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 […]
