NEW TRACK: Raw Fabrics - Get Me The Hell Out Of Here

“Get Me The Hell Out Of Here” is one of the songs that I don’t need to think for a second about whether I’d like to feature it or not, it’s a given as soon as I hit the ‘play’ button and start listening. “Get Me The

SONG PICK: Saints Patience - Break of Dawn - [EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE]

Swirly guitar riffs first, driving drum beats next, followed by a soft cloud of strings and then the vocals, oh these smooth and soulful rock vocals – what more is there to desire? “Break of Dawn” is one superb example of an instantly addictive alt-rock anthem! London duo Saints Patience, comprised

LATE NIGHT: LYONN - The Symphony

“The Symphony”, the debut single by Californian duo LYONN, gets you hooked -and onto the dancefloor- right from start! It is an infectiously upbeat and truly charming tune, and if the music alone would not have convinced me that this is one amazing track, then the lyrics did the trick.

NEW TRACK: St. Tropez - I Wanna Live In St. Tropez

Ahead of the release of their debut album, St. Tropez hailing from Amsterdam, deliver another superb single in addition to their previous two: the more fuzz-rock and rather moody “Order” and the swirly, radiant “Son of God” that we chose as our Song Pick of the Day last November. With

VIDEO: A R I Z O N A - I Was Wrong

The video to A R I Z O N A‘s single “I Was Wrong” is as sweet as band videos can get. The video tells a little story, following a beautiful young woman throughout her day, with scenes of the band playing live cut in-between. Adorable! The track is

Wildlife are back with a brand new single, announcing the release of their full length album to drop later this year. “Dead Century” is a highly energetic song, with driving beats and a big anthem chorus one can’t help but instantly chime into: “It’s all been forgotten in

Q&A with Lisbon

Earlier this year, I came across “Vice” by Lisbon, loved the song from the spot and made it our Song Pick of the Day! Still one of my favorite feel-good-tracks of 2016, I got more curious about this Newcastle four piece. With a brand new single under their belt, the

VIDEO: Free Money - Headful

“Headful” is the instantly alluring  debut of Free Money, a new indie-rock act from East London. For the time being, Free Money will publish their songs via video only and so we feature “Headful” this way because this track is just so good with is hooks, beats edgy vocals and

3 Is A Band: Like A Thief

Followers of my #3IsABand series know that I seem to be particularly drawn to trios from Australia, be it synth-pop, psych-rock or more “mainstream” indie-rock (an oxymoron in itself). It is no different with Like A Thief, because when I listened to the first few bars into “Escape”, I was

SONG PICK: OTHERKIN - Yeah, I Know

How can I possibly come up with a better description than the punchline the four of  Dublin’s Otherkin deliver themselves? “We want our records to be punchy, lean and blazing. Straight in, no kissing.” That pretty much sums “Yeah, I Know”, the latest single by Otherkin, up! It’s

There are songs, that don’t need further explanation or persuasion to even check them out, you love them from the spot, like “Sapiosexual” by Blak Emoji. And so it was a no-brainer to make”Sapiosexual” our Song Pick of Day on March 9th. They didn’t stop there: Blak

SONG PICK: Desert Planes - Wake In Fright

“Wake in Fright” is a beautifully crafted song, made of chiming guitars, humming drum beats and charming vocals contrasting with the more intense lyrics. Slightly nostalgic and with an instantly likable feel, “Wake in Fright” is the debut single by London duo Desert Planes. While the name ‘Desert Planes’ is

VIDEO: Jesse Mac Cormack - Repeat

Black and white videos, featuring a good-looking woman and a good-looking man are so easy to love. Give me pulsating drums, and coarsely charming vocals and I’m all set! It’s no different with Jesse Mac Cormack‘s video for “Repeat”, his latest, highly atmospheric single, which grips you

SONG PICK: Hazels - The Cure

No fuss, no frills straight forward melodic alt-rock that’s what Newcastle five piece Hazels tend to create. From their recently released double single “The Cure”/”Can’t Ignore”, I chose the slightly darker “The Cure” as  our Song Pick of the Day. The track boasts a driving beat right

NEW TRACK: Fairchild - Neighbourhoods

“Neighbourhoods”, the latest single by indie-rocker six-piece Fairchild comes with a lot of swagger: humming bass-lines, chiming guitar melodies, cool vocals providing a cool, sophisticated vibe… we kind of feel like being on a stroll through the ‘hood.  But… hold on, let’s hear what singer Adam Lyons has to

“Before The Dawn” is the latest self-released EP by Aaron Molyneaux, who makes music as Molyneaux. Residing in the countryside near London, Molyneaux has been making music for quite some time. It’s also been a good while since I first came across this amazing solo artist, having repeatedly listened
