Many artists have attempted to emulate the grunge sound of the ’90s while bringing it into the modern era effectively, yet very few are as enjoyable as the collection of songs that I just sat down and listened to. Pleasurehead by Gaygirl leads you through various elements of what the band are capable of and […]

Interview: Gaygirl
We’ve got another interview for you lot. I’m personally morally opposed to sharing it because I think we spoil you too much, but Daniel Thomas (the boss man) has demanded it be shipped out immediately, and I don’t want him hitting me with his belt again. So, in today’s bit of audio beauty, Rebecca Aston […]
Review: Tadhg Daly – Figure It Out
London-based singer-songwriter Tadhg Daly has just released his latest single, Figure It Out. Following in the style of previous releases Come Alive and Hit the Ground, the track continues Daly’s soft-spoken, melodic tone with touches of electric backing. It’s a warm, comforting piece of acoustic pop that’s radio-friendly. Gliding on soft guitar strums, Daly croons his heartfelt lyrics […]
Premiere: Latenight Honeymoon – For Heaven’s Sake
We’re living through a hard time. A period that historians will inspect with razor-sharp precision forever. While this is an undeniable truth, it doesn’t mean we can’t find love, laughter, and enjoyment within the parameters of our own struggle, so when you hear a brilliant new piece of music, you can’t help but smile. For […]
Review: Tiger Mimic – It Was Still Dark
When Tiger Mimic arrived in London from their native New York, they brought with them their distinctive sound of alt-rock and refreshing indie melodies. Produced by the talented Kevin Vanbergen (Kid Kapichi / Nova Twins), the band’s new single, It Was Still Dark, has unsurprisingly become a radio hit receiving support from various stations across […]
Review: DEADLETTER – Good Old Days
If shouty vocals, spikey guitars and a furious amount of cowbell isn’t your thing, then you should probably move on because the DEADLETTER’s Good Old Days is just that. Released on May 1st, the single brings with it a high-energy fusion of post-punk and rock that’s bound to hit a nerve. The musically adventurous DEADLETTER […]
Premiere: Play Dead – Whitstable
Sometimes you’re in the mood for a ten-minute ballad that takes you on an emotional journey. Sometimes you just want to watch a three-hour film that makes you think about the nature of existence. But you know what? Sometimes you’d rather just get to the damn point. That’s exactly what Whitstable does. What’s Whitstable, you […]
You Need To Hear This: Jerskin Fendrix – Winterreise
I tried entering Winterreise completely unbiased, and then someone put a quote from Iggy Pop in the media pack saying “Jerskin Fendrix should have tea with Jarvis Cocker”? This stuck out to me right away, a quote from Iggy fucking Pop. I almost went into this album expecting something for THAT magnitude of a quote. Opening track. Manhattan’s intro […]
Review: Stables – Marathon
Full of amazing harmonies, catchy melodies, and chilled out vibes, Marathon is the new single by Stables that we think deserves a spot on everyone’s summer playlist. With so many people currently taking part in the five-kilometre challenge on social media, a forty-two-kilometre marathon sounds crazy right now. My suggestion is that you listen to this […]
Song Of The Day: WACO – Good Days
The latest release from WACO is an absolutely rip-roaring track full of raw emotion that resonates with the listener from the moment it begins. It’s appropriately titled Good Days, as you can’t help but feel better upon hearing it. In fact, today is probably the best day I’ve had all week. Yes, I admit it’s only […]
