Occasionally, we all experience that beautiful moment when a track grabs you from the second it begins and then refuses to let go. Tea is one of those songs. My first impression of Porto Geese was “if Pond took every drug at once and started playing King Gizzard tunes, this is how they would sound”, […]

Premiere: Beauty School – I Don’t Like This Party
I once had a bad experience at a beauty school. At sixteen, I had long curly hair and beautiful blue eyes. I was the talk of the town. Every time I entered the room A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton would play. I had a great life, then Sandra ruined it all. I was putting […]
Song Of The Day: Porridge Radio – Sweet
A few years back, when I first heard Alex Cameron, I became an instant fan of his work. While idly reading up on his background as a musician, I came across the record label Secretly Canadian. I remembered the name as it made me laugh to myself (by which I mean I exhaled from my nose, staring […]
Podcast: A Good Talking To – Oliver Manning
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 […]
Premiere: School Disco – Caught in Space & Shooting In The Dark
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 […]
