Effortlessly combining great melodies with blistering riffs, Fake Names’ new EP is further evidence of their great rock heritage. The band consists of former members of Fugazi, Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Girls Against Boys, Refused, S.O.A. and if that’s not enough to whet your appetite, you need your ears retuning! ‘It Will Take A Lifetime’ […]
Everyone has things they wished they had done the last day before the first lockdown struck. Whether that is seeing loved ones, friends, or even have a good time before the inevitable misery of the months to come. This is the topic that opens Beabadoobee’s latest work, ‘Our Extended Play, which was produced by Matthew […]
Abstract: This EP is a zesty chorus stratagem of drain-pipe bass lines, journeyman synthesizations, moderate baritone delivery, candid fills and 6-stringed nuances which sail alongside tri-timbre-d lyrics that provoke humour, adds colour to the pallet of the mundane and tastefully ventures into the distasteful without catering toward frightful yacht-rockisms or baseless complaints towards imaginary authority […]
Ralph Pellymounter debuts his solo work, which is separate from his previous endeavours with To Kill a King. ‘Three Love Songs, Death & Kindness’ is an EP of five tracks from the folk-rock frontman. Released on Tequila King Records (ha ha, it’s a pun!), the songs appear be an extension of his other work with […]
West Yorkshire is home to many winding valleys, roving hills and pretty market towns; a place where one might find a peaceful life. It has an unspoken force that invites a certain demographic of people, who gravitate to this serene part of the country. One such town, Hebden Bridge, is a testament to this energy. […]
It sounds as if Hello Cosmos have thrown everything into this debut EP. By that, I mean it’s an amusement park of sounds and genres, first couple of tracks in rock territory along the lines of Rage Against The Machine, The Cribs, or The Fall with the next few tracks more electro, along the lines […]
Sounding like a cross between Gang Of Four, Wire and Shellac, Egyptian Blue’s debut EP may sound like it’s full of familiar noises, but it’s an EP which reveals itself to have heaps more intrigue. Signed to YALA Records, the label founded by Felix White formerly of The Maccabees, this Brighton bunch manage to create […]
Having supported Parquet Courts and Thee Oh Sees previously, plus having written songs about Hank Williams, and Andy Warhol’s attempted killer Valerie Solinas, all without releasing a proper album yet, Pottery are one of those bands who seem destined for wider acclaim but strictly on their own terms. The new release from the Montreal five […]
If you were born anywhere before or around 2003, you’ll probably remember the transformation Taylor Swift went through when she converted from country queen to modern pop phenomenon. Not to in anyway compare how I feel about Taylor to Kim Churchill, the example of her moving on to a different genre is the only thing […]
This E.P. contains songs recorded at the same time as their album ‘I’ll Be Your Girl’ released earlier this year, yet somehow these tunes didn’t fit properly on that album. The Decemberists have ways been a band full of folk infused indie tunes, brimming with a storytelling ambience, but for the last album they stepped […]
