A cover of Fuck The Pain Away by Peaches immediately catches my eye. DITZ’s 5 Song sits in my inbox like a time bomb waiting to blow all over my iTunes library. A rough week no doubt, but a DITZ EP to get you through it is here. The ear-pounding mix on the first track, Seeking Arrangement, is surprisingly very […]
Continue readingReview: Suave Martyrs – Footsteps
I played Suave Martyrs on my radio show a few weeks back and was hugely impressed by the Manchester-based band. Their lockdown anthem, Straight A’s, struck me as one of the most unique songs I’d discovered in recent times. The best thing about writing for Independent Music News is getting to hear how certain artists’ music changes over […]
Continue readingPremiere: Reclaim Vienna – Infamous
Few bands manage to combine darkness with pop sensibilities, but it seems Reclaim Vienna sit comfortably in that camp. Their new single, Infamous, is an absolute stomper, and here at Independent Music News, we’re lucky enough to premiere it for you today. Infamous sounds like the future and the past met in a bar, had a fist-fight, […]

I slept in till noon today. I’m not proud of that, but having been furloughed for over three months now, my sleeping pattern is really getting out of hand. I needed a pick me up, and coffee just wasn’t working. When all hope seemed lost, I struck gold. My position as a writer for Independent […]
Continue readingPremiere: Blvmenkind – You Were Right
We’re back with another premiere, treating you to a song you’ll obsess over, wearing out the play button. You Were Right by Blvmenkind is the track we’re showcasing today; a Post Malone-esque piece of beauty that most musicians within that genre could only aspire to sound like. I will also mention that the three sacred words, You Were […]

There’s a lot going on right now. These days, it seems like the world is in the final seconds of an imminent explosion. When it all gets too much, sometimes it’s just nice to lay back, put your feet up and listen to some music. Coming straight out of the Netherlands, Benzo Beneluxo has released a […]
Continue readingPremiere: Play Dead – Shaun
Sticking to the tried and tested formula of less is more, Play Dead exemplify the punk ethos through their brash attitude, snotty vocals and short, punchy tunes. It’s a well-worn blueprint that’s been used by many a band, but Play Dead manage to leave an impression with their sharp lyrics and funny, yet detailed storytelling. […]
Continue readingPremiere: Solar Parachute – In The Sound
Solar Parachute is the new solo project by Gaet Allard. Known for playing the drums with bands such as Balinger, Stoptoi, and Perfect Line, Gaet started making music when he was only six years old, and his passion and experience can be heard in the songs he makes today. His latest single, In The Sound, […]
Continue readingPremiere: Bethany Ferrie – Under
We’ve all been neglected and betrayed by friends and family. It’s part of life. But what hurts the most is the loss of an emotional connection. All those memories tossed into a bin. I’ve encountered it numerous times, and it’s led to a mind full of self-deprecation and doubt. I very rarely open up to […]
Continue readingPremiere: Dead Horse – Dead Horse I
Dead Horses’ debut EP, Dead Horse I, is just under fourteen minutes in length, but boy does it leave you breathless. The band formed in 2019 when frontman Kevin Lennon (vocals/bass) returned to London from Brighton and hooked up with long time bandmates (Rumour Mill/Kids From K Hole) Duncan Clark (drums) and Josh Kemp (guitar). They […]
