Glasgow trio Deer Leader are back with a new single titled Four Deuces. Initially focused on creating instrumental music, the band have been working with renowned producer Andy Miller (Mogwai, Arab Strap, Life Without Buildings) to modify their sound, adding vocals to craft a single full of alt-rock overtones. With Four Deuces, the group have meshed together […]

Review: New Ghost – Future Is Dead
The aptly titled Future Is Dead is the sophomore EP from the Sheffield-based art-rock outfit New Ghost, a collaborative supergroup of some of the brightest stars in the UK alternative scene. The three-track art piece was recorded, mixed and co-produced by Tom Henthorn and presents a batch of cinematic treasures, full to the brim with atmosphere, emotion and […]
Review: Sacropolis – The Sinner
I glance over the press release for The Sinner and think about how bloody cheeky and mischievous that title is. Go and sit on the naughty step, Sacropolis, and think about calling your song something more pleasant next time like The Nice Tune or Well, Now That Is Lovely. Seriously though, what a name. I immediately expect a […]
Review: All Things Blue – Dicking Around
I’m a sucker for dream punk. I didn’t know it was a thing until earlier today, but upon hearing All Things Blue’s new single, Dicking Around, I have to say I’m sold. I’m officially a fan, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Dicking Around is a sonic journey that takes you through the collective […]
Premiere: Hugh – Walk It Off (Feat. Bonjay)
A month ago, I wrote about the fantastic Bamboo Smoke track, Are You Awake?, and the song really resonated with me. Signed to the Swedish boutique label Something Beautiful, they’re not the only brilliant act on the roster. Once again, I’ve found myself in the fortunate position to be premiering a single that I love. What might […]
Premiere: Meeking – Hello Mind
Thursday is always a great day here at Independent Music News. Most bands release music on a Friday, and you know what that means? We get loads of premieres to write about. We’re a lucky bunch. I feel fortunate because I got an exclusive listen of Hello Mind, the brand new EP by Meeking. Now […]
Premiere: George Bloomfield – Push Back The Sun (Feat. Freya Thompson)
Freedom is a concept that has been toiled over by humans for as long as we have been self-aware. Some philosophers argue that we have no free will; others say that we can act freely within the constraints that circumstantial events put upon us. For me, freedom is found in those rare times when everything […]
Premiere: Two Tone Television – OldNews
Fake news, good news, bad news, it’s all the same. Media companies attempt to knock you down with distressing headlines, then lift you back up with light-hearted stories such as Kellogg’s launching an onion-flavoured breakfast cereal. Without the daily reports, stats and charts, we’d probably feel better about ourselves and the world. But no, today […]
Song Of The Day: Martha Hill – Grilled Cheese
When feeling that late afternoon hunger, and in need of a warm carby hit, I make a grilled cheese. Buttered sourdough bread, mature cheddar, cream cheese, combined and placed in a scorching hot pan, cut into triangles (very important) and dipped in ketchup. Like Martha Hill, I too believe raw onions have no place on […]
Review: Rachel Angel – Highway Songs
At the age of nineteen, I underwent a terrible experience that would go on to shape the next few years of my life. There was a lot of pain along the way, but gradually I rebuilt myself from scratch and came out of those tumultuous times as a healthier, more confident person. These days, I […]
