Following swiftly on from last year’s LP ‘Craft Excluder’, Barnsley writer and musician Ryan Bracha is back under the guise of Disgraceful Friend and today has brought two singles with him from out of the ether. Single number one, ‘Don’t Stand Up (Or Your Nose Is Gonna Bleed)’ is an intoxicating graveyard gothic garage rumble,Continue reading “Disgraceful Friend – Don’t Stand Up (Or Your Nose Is Gonna Bleed)”

Rachel Chinouriri – All I Ever Asked
Built on a bassline that could have been lifted from one of The XX’s sharpest tracks, ‘All I Ever Asked Of You’ sees Croydon’s Rachel Chinouriri sculpting a perfect indie pop song about frustrated love, like an upbeat Daughter or a less deranged MGMT, with a dreamy earworm of a synth-fuelled chorus. Chinouriri is onContinue reading “Rachel Chinouriri – All I Ever Asked”
James and The Cold Gun – It’s Mutual
We’re a couple weeks late with this one, but James and The Cold Gun have put out a blistering new single, ‘It’s Mutual’, the first track from their forthcoming debut EP proper ‘False Start’. South Wales is presently home to a long-overdue indie resurgence, with Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard, Bandicoot, Boy Azooga, Panic Shack and theirContinue reading “James and The Cold Gun – It’s Mutual”
Supera Morza – I’m Working It Out
Another single from an Edge of Arcady newbie favourite. For their third single, ‘I’m Working It Out’, Manchester’s Supera Morza have flung another essential grunge-pop, screeching bone-crusher at us, scaling Nirvana level heights, gullet-wrecking growls and confession that there’s something they’re trying to work out and “It’s all kinda shit”. Just as long as they’reContinue reading “Supera Morza – I’m Working It Out”
Landfill – Solid Gold
Landfill’s second single, ‘Solid Gold’, is poetic atonement and an earnest salute to their good friend and now manager – subject of less than complimentary number ‘Mister Fragile’ from former incarnation Underground Heroes in 2012 – cloaked in an exhilarating, high-speed indie rock tour de force. Shifting up a couple gears from debut single ‘Mutiny’,Continue reading “Landfill – Solid Gold”
Pit Pony – Black Tar
By rights ‘Black Tar’s hi-velocity drum beat and pulsating bass should be backing some sweaty hardcore punk track, but Pit Pony have taken that blueprint and flipped it over by casting in a wailing guitar riff and frontwoman Jackie Purver’s vocals that drift from impassive to passionate-as-fuck over the space of mere seconds, creating aContinue reading “Pit Pony – Black Tar”
Landfill – The ‘Solid Gold’ Interview
“Don’t watch the news, stay off your phone and come to a Landfill gig!” August 2021 saw the release of Landfill’s debut single ‘Mutiny’, a sparky indie-punk anthem for the COVID age, and this Friday the Medway gents are venturing out again with follow-up banger ‘Solid Gold’. Given the opportunity to find a bit moreContinue reading “Landfill – The ‘Solid Gold’ Interview”
Grace Calver – Zombie Conversations
Grace Calver is tired of crappy, short-winded Instagram conversations with wannabe casanovas who end up losing steam before they make it to a first date. So much so, she has turned her frustration into ‘Zombie Conversations’, a charming slack-pop dedication to wasted time on time wasters. Grace’s home counties accent sounds perfectly unimpressed over loose,Continue reading “Grace Calver – Zombie Conversations”
Andrew Cushin – You Don’t Belong
Andrew Cushin’s early career has been packed full of high level endorsement, with third single ‘Where’s My Family Gone’ boasting a Noel Gallagher production credit and his recent signing to Peter Doherty’s Strap Originals records. ‘You Don’t Belong’ is a shining example of why alternative music’s top boys are bigging him up. Newcastle’s Cushin provesContinue reading “Andrew Cushin – You Don’t Belong”
Minerva Daisy – ‘Something Strange’ Interview
“It used to be painful and angering to sing this song but now it feels empowering. It makes me feel bad-ass whenever I sing it.” Next Wednesday, 16th February, Manchester’s Minerva Daisy is set to release her darkest and strongest release yet, the brooding new single ‘Something Strange’. A masterpiece of baroque piano and dramaticContinue reading “Minerva Daisy – ‘Something Strange’ Interview”
