Eaves Wilder – I Stole Your Jumper

Eaves Wilder has been wronged and she’s taking ruthless, bloody minded revenge. Ok, so she’s starting small, taunting her ex that she’s pinched their jumper (we’re sure it’s a jumper they really, really loved) but as Eaves’ pissed off-ness unravels we get the point she’s been fucked over and the piss-taker in question is inContinue reading “Eaves Wilder – I Stole Your Jumper”

Panic Shack – Meal Deal

Cardiff riot-grrrl inspired five-piece Panic Shack are big fans of Boots/Superdrug/town centre lunchtime convenience food, confessing that latest single ‘Meal Deal’ was originally a straightforward punky tribute to the ham sandwich, salt & vinegar crisp and bottle of lemonade combo, but recent political events saw the group rewrite the record to recognise it’s brilliant simplicityContinue reading “Panic Shack – Meal Deal”

Maze – Step Too Soon

‘Step Too Soon’ sees South London 6 piece Maze team up with Dean Mumford of The Rifles to create an enraptured, brit-rock gem of a track. With a slight nod to Stone Roses, the song takes the Madchester rhythm and blisses it out some way further than many groups are prepared to go, Mumford addingContinue reading “Maze – Step Too Soon”

Feverjaw – Jurassic

Cardiff trio Feverjaw have tonnes of melody and tonnes of ire – a glorious recipe for some intoxicating sound. Having spent the summer performing live to promote April release, the ‘Casual Abrasive’ EP, latest single ‘Jurassic’ is not just a surprise single release as the band themselves touted, but a now essential part of theContinue reading “Feverjaw – Jurassic”

Trampolene – Thinking Again

Swansea wonders Trampolene have made it back for a fourth album, and to launch it Jack Jones and his saturnalian squad have put out into the world the brand new single ‘Thinking Again’, an oblique bluesy salutation to the everyday arduous quandary of making a decision, then remaking that decision, then remaking that decision, andContinue reading “Trampolene – Thinking Again”

Cobain Jones – Realistic Dreams

Cobain Jones single was originally written and recorded in 1986, a close contender for NME’s original C86 cassette but eventually rejected for showing the rest of the tracks up. Ok, we’re lying here, but if you’re trying to find a reference point for the 20 year old Manchester singer-songwriter’s latest, ‘Realistic Dreams’, you would beContinue reading “Cobain Jones – Realistic Dreams”

Spyres & Sterling Press – Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff – 13/10/2022

Only a smattering of onlookers stand waiting early doors at Clwb Ifor Bach this evening, so we’re guessing that word of Sterling Press hasn’t yet reached Wales’ capital but we assume this won’t be the case for long. With three punchy single releases to their name and a few UK tours, the Liverpool-based four pieceContinue reading “Spyres & Sterling Press – Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff – 13/10/2022”

Andrew Cushin – Exchange, Bristol – 11/10/2022

Andrew Cushin’s first solo headline tour has already seen the Newcastle songwriter play a string of sold out dates across the UK and tonight he’s bringing his feast of perceptive rock’n’roll energy to the Westcountry’s first city. The spirit of Cushin’s music is summed up by the support acts on offer tonight, the first beingContinue reading “Andrew Cushin – Exchange, Bristol – 11/10/2022”

Circa Waves – Do You Wanna Talk?

If you had to whittle down one particular, outstanding, defining skill that Circa Waves have when it comes to making records that sets them apart from the rest of the indie pack, it would have to be their ability to craft a new angularly euphonious guitar hook for every one of their alt-dancefloor bangers. LatestContinue reading “Circa Waves – Do You Wanna Talk?”

Tom Emlyn – I’ve Seen You In Town

Some records are intrinsically linked to a corner of the world, a country, a city – if you’ve ever sat on a bus lurching across Manchester with The Smiths playing through your headphones or sped through London on the tube listening to Blur you’ll know what I mean. Well, Tom Emlyn’s second album drips withContinue reading “Tom Emlyn – I’ve Seen You In Town”
