Oi! Stop what you’re doing. School Disco is back with two new singles, Caught in Space and Shooting in the Dark, and we’re super excited to premiere these tunes on IMN. Based in Brighton. *Frank butts in* “Sorry, I need to interrupt, I have a great fact about Brighton. Most people don’t know that when […]

Review: Indigo Face – Wild
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 […]
Video 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 […]
Review: Domiciles – This Is Not A Zen Garden
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, […]
Review: Sophia Street – Heather Weather
Despite the beautiful scenery, Alaska is mostly known for Sarah Palin, Ice Road Truckers, and the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Currently, the whole state is on fire, not one fan or a/c unit can be found for sale, and our governor has some sort of personal vendetta against the entire education system. Alaska’s best hope […]
Interview: The Cosmics
If you haven’t heard of The Cosmics, then you need to go and listen to them now. Hailing from Birmingham, the DIY garage punk-rock trio have declared their arrival with a self-titled debut EP. Expect blazing guitar riffage, huge hooks and layered reverb. We recently caught up with the band to talk about the new […]
Interview: Husky Loops
I saw Husky Loops live at The Old Blue Last back in 2016 when they first formed. Even when the three-piece were just cutting their teeth, they were sharp. Three years down the line and it seems they are just going from strength to strength, having been picked up by Danger Mouse’s label – 30th […]
Review: Tennis System – Shelf Life
I remember when, not too long ago, the word “shoegaze” was shunned. It was deemed foolish to classify your music in this way, as though the term should have been left with the gatekeepers, his Lordship Kevin Shields, Queen Rachel Goswell and the court jester, Andy Bell. Fast forward in time, and we arrive in […]
Review: Wet Mut & Squitch – Split EP
Let me begin with a warning. If you are a bad kisser, you should probably just avoid this album altogether. Your technique should be at least average or higher, if you are to consider listening to this music, or even reading this review. (But more on that later.) Okay! Let’s get into this! I found […]
Premiere: Gemini Sun – I’ll Get Round To It
Here’s another premiere that IMN is deliriously happy to be a part of. Gemini Sun has a single so new, it practically has placenta all over it. “Will it be available in all my favorite digital formats?” you ask. “Yes! On June 14th, it will!” (That was us, enthusiastically answering you.) The first of Crocodile […]
