STRFKR have always maintained a very close relationship with their fans, demonstrated again recently with the fan led remix for While I’m Alive. The original video is here… Following a […]
After a triumphant festival season which has seen Public Service Broadcasting playing to packed stages and tents across the UK, the duo return this Autumn with Night Mail, the stand-out track from their critically-acclaimed debut album ‘Inform – Educate – Entertain’. As well as new single ‘Night Mail’, the nation’s favourite corduroy obsessives have finally […]
‘Back To Land’ is the new album from Wooden Shjips, released November 11th through Thrill Jockey Records. Wooden Shjips’ rise to prominence from the psychedelic underground to the rock and roll overground has been a steady sojourn. With each consecutive release, the band has found new ways of transforming heady psychedelic rock into minimalist masterpieces, […]
No, there is no time-machine trickery going on here and we haven’t just skipped twenty years into the future: in their new video for ‘Lisbon’, The Wave Pictures’ rope in their dads to take over performance duties, and they certainly get into the spirit and show their offspring how it’s done. The single is released digitally on 21st […]
Forming as a band while living overseas in Scotland, Top Less now calls Canada home. Hooky vocals, lush multi-layered synth arrangements, thick bass lines and catchy guitars run Top Less through the gamut of electro, dance and glam pop. The lyrics, often ironic and kitsch, strike at the heart of young relationships, partying and friendship. […]
The fearless Welsh band’s bold collaboration with ice-painter Casper White exemplifies Islet’s intimacy with experimental approaches and their continued exploration of visual art. White’s unique process has been described as an act of ‘creative destruction’. For this video he painted a series of portraits of the band members directly onto ice blocks, allowing layers to […]
Comprising of sunset flavoured fizzy guitars and driven by a restless drumbeat ‘See-Saw Girl’ touches the bands pop-punk roots. Yet although intricately layered ‘See-Saw Girl’ is wholly immersible with it’s call and response vocals and toe-tapping sensibilities. Heralding a statement of intent from Totem, ‘See-Saw Girl’ acts as the perfect introduction to the band, encapsulating their wild, […]

Here is the video for Crystal Stilts’ ‘Star Crawl’, directed by Daniel Fetherston.

Crystal Stilts formed in 2003 in New York City by Brad Hargett (vocals) and JB Townsend (guitar) and are currently joined by […]
Dutch Uncles have unveiled a new video for their single ‘Nometo’.
