Another song has been sent my way, and the excitement is palpable. I drool all over my mouse, as I click play and What’s In Your Head by Manalishi is a go. It opens with a guitar riff that reminds me of mashing X on a PlayStation controller to question a shady character on L.A. Noire; […]

Premiere: June Pageant – Balcony
Google June Pageant and all the search results mention a popular pageant queen called Honey Boo Boo and her much-beloved mother Mama June. I’m not here to talk about a public entertainment show consisting of elaborate, colourful costumes and overly enthusiastic and pushy parents, I’m a music reviewer goddammit, and I deserve some respect. No, […]

Premiere: Simon Masterson – Mountpleasant
We here at Independent Music News are a strong, defiant lot.

Upon […]

Review: Katie Burden – Edge Of Sleep
Having grown up in a small hippy town in Colorado, Katie Burden presents music that can only be described as an amalgam of finely tuned qualities. She mixes all the best parts of her dark pop sensibility to create an incredible new EP called Edge Of Sleep, and if you do one thing today, I’m urging […]
Song Of The Day: The Column – Tastes The Same
Tastes The Same is the first single released from The Column’s upcoming EP, Sparrow’s Tongue. If you’re a fan of bands like The National, you’ll love this. Low range moody vocals and upbeat instrumentation is a distinctive and winning combination, and The Column definitely hold their own in this arena. The project has been described as “music […]
