Manchester future-art-rockers Everything Everything’s latest single ‘The Mad Stone’ is one of the central parts of their forthcoming 7th album ‘Mountainhead’, a record that, we’re told, is a parable for modern times, mellifluously dissecting a society with the sole mission of building a greater purpose sacred mountain, leaving a resource depleted hole left behind forContinue reading “Everything Everything – The Mad Stone”

Alias Kid – Gonna Be A Star
Ballsy Manchester rockers Alias Kid are on a majestic roll. After the storming comeback single ‘She Don’t Yeah Yeah Yeah’ saw the self-assured foursome return in a maelstrom of screeching, life-affirming guitar, latest single ‘Gonna Be A Star’ has them proving they have the dexterity and sheer skill to put together a bonafide anthem too.Continue reading “Alias Kid – Gonna Be A Star”
Megan Wyn – You Don’t Get It
The debut single proper from Welsh girl in Manchester Megan Wyn is an absolute corker! Those folk keeping their eyes on the emerging music scene have likely noted that Wyn has spent the past two years putting out music and playing venues all over the UK but the release of ‘You Don’t Get It’ seesContinue reading “Megan Wyn – You Don’t Get It”
King Violet – Do Me A Favour EP
Having already made the Manchester music scene take note with a bombardment of gripping live shows, toward the end of last year King Violet unleashed their debut EP to the rest of the world, and boy does the world need to hear it! Wielding riot grrl energy, the group have created their own darkly texturedContinue reading “King Violet – Do Me A Favour EP”
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”
Pyncher – The Saddest Man Around
With their latest single, Pyncher’s message is a simple, succinct and expertly executed one. When over a low slung, slow drag of a rhythm, vocalist and frontman Sam Blakeley declares presumptuously yet authoritatively that he’s ‘The Saddest Man Around’, which also happens to be the single’s title, we must admit we feel inclined to takeContinue reading “Pyncher – The Saddest Man Around”
Sugarstone – That’s Intense
Fuzzy distortion. Low rumbling electro squelches. Dance-metal beats and mosh-rock screams. The title of Manchester dreamy-electro hard-rockers Sugarstone’s latest single sums up the vibe entirely in two words – ‘That’s Intense’, although if the record was named after our reaction on our first listen the title would be: ‘Woah, That Was Fucking Massively Intense! LemmeContinue reading “Sugarstone – That’s Intense”
Lissy Taylor – She’s a Stunner
Lissy Taylor is an up-and-coming new singer-songwriter from Stoke-on-Trent via the USA via Manchester and her new single ‘She’s a Stunner’ is an empowering guitar track about a really fucking powerful and commanding, stunning and unidentified woman. With her north-west accent preserved, Taylor’s voice has the dreamlike brittleness of Ellie Goulding coupled with all theContinue reading “Lissy Taylor – She’s a Stunner”
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”
Turtle Park & Drego G – Peace of Mind
Pittsburgh, PA via Manchester, UK grunge pop maestros Turtle Park have bestowed on us their new EP, Peace Of Mind, this time specifically the creative work of members Addy P and Chicago’s Drego G. Addy P takes care of the complex beats and sings, as Drego G lends his distinctive, conscious rap to each andContinue reading “Turtle Park & Drego G – Peace of Mind”
