Loviet – The Nighttime Is All In The Timing EP

It’s no easy feat to create rock songs that tower ten storeys high with sheer, dark, sore emotion and stack them next to the fast paced punk-pop of Hole or Green Day. Yet that’s just what Canadian singer-songwriter Loviet has managed to do on her latest EP ‘The Nighttime Is All In The Timing’. NotContinue reading “Loviet – The Nighttime Is All In The Timing EP”

CHROMA – Don’t Mind Me

The level of dirty riffage here, the sheer scuzz of it, is something you’d expect to hear on a Rage Against The Machine track, shortly followed by Zack de la Rocha’s revolutionary grunts. Yet this is not RATM land, this is the world of CHROMA, where heavy rock guitar and rapid machine gun drum fillsContinue reading “CHROMA – Don’t Mind Me”

Chvrches – Over

Scottish alternative-electro masters Chvrches have been releasing spectacular indie-dancefloor conquering music for a decade now, if you can believe it.

Gengahr – A Ladder

Hackney based London indie chaps Gengahr are dipping their toes in the water again, after a two year break, with new single ‘A Ladder’. A perky, upbeat tune with a sun-drenched slant, the playful track is backed by sliding bass and effervescent instrumentation, alongside what the band themselves refer to as “cartoon-like imagery”. We’ve comeContinue reading “Gengahr – A Ladder”

The View – Feels Like

Dundee’s most famous musical sons, The View, are back after an eight year break with punchy new single ‘Feels Like’. If you were only paying attention at the start of the Scottish scamps career you may be expecting an unruly Libertines-esque affair of clattering guitars and sozzled harmonica but The View have come some wayContinue reading “The View – Feels Like”

Basic State – Far Too Soon

Cardiff lads Basic State have come out with a solid new single packed to bursting with effortless rock’n’roll thrills.

SHLUG – Baby Teef

If we were to analyse it, we tend to throw the word punk around quite free and easily when bands shout their lyrics and play spiky guitar bits with a limited number of chords. SHLUG, however, are PUNK, not just with a capital P but with a capital every letter. ‘Baby Teef’ is hardcore. YouContinue reading “SHLUG – Baby Teef”

Death Of The High Street – Not Fair

We love it every time this moment comes around, when Derby’s Death Of The High Street get together another incendiary new single release for our aural gratification, particularly so this time around as latest single ‘Not Fair’ is extra-special, with electric, industrial, post-punk guitar lines and complicated affection being the order of the day. AContinue reading “Death Of The High Street – Not Fair”
