So, I go away for a couple of weeks and come back to so many awesome new songs. Here’s just a few of the videos I’ve enjoyed over the last few weeks. Olympians – Filling My Heart With Weird Dreams Gunning For Tamar – Another Season The Brilliantly Simple – Find A Way
Oxford boys Gunning For Tamar make a welcome return with their latest EP ‘Camera Lucida’. After the success of last year’s ‘Time Trophies’ EP, released as a stylish orange watch, and the very popular free download ‘Dark Sky Tourism’, it’s clear the four-piece are beaming with confidence and creativity and they are not scared of…
Oxford five-piece Spring Offensive have released the video to their new single ‘No Assets’. A concept dreamed up by band members Matt Cooper and Lucas Whitworth, the video was filmed using 12 chest-mounted iPhone cameras and is a multi-layered visual and aural treat.

A big favourite of ours, Stagecoach have released the video for their new single ‘Work! Work! Work!’. Taken from their debut album ‘Say Hi to the Band’ (released on 13 May via Alcopop! Records), the song is full of party vibes and the video is suitably fun packed. Find out more about Stagecoach: http://www.stagecoachuk.com http://www.facebook.com/stagecoachuk…
Fleet-based trio Sister Leona have a sound that harks back to the glory days of grunge in the early 90s but there’s enough of an indie-punk vibe to see them happily sit at home in any contemporary scene. Singer Jake Buckley’s vocals have the same kind of effortlessness sneer that served Evan Dando so well…
A band called Dragons That Make Love to Pandas has to be worth checking out, don’t they? And luckily this Surrey three-piece live up to the astounding name. Although not quite the fire-breathing, bamboo stick-munching bears that you’d hope, the three lads specialise in a math rock sound that is progressive, full of grooves and…
Post rock is a notoriously hard genre to get right, but luckily Aldershot three-piece Parachute For Gordo know how to hit all the right buttons. Their recent EP, ‘Eight Minutes of Weightlessness’ hints at a band with lofty ambitions, but unlike like their moniker (one of the first monkeys to fly into space), they remain…
Released on Alcopop Records, 2010’s ‘Territories’ found Northampton four-piece My First Tooth becoming a regular fixture on the festival circuit, winning a passionate army of fans and being heavily featured on Hollyoaks. Anyone lucky enough to have seen their performance at 2011’s Glastonbury will still remember the beaming smiles on the faces of all the…
Based in Brighton, Ancient Times was a one-man project started in the middle of 2012 by George Smale that has since evolved into a live band. Having recently supported The Chapman Family, there is a wave of optimism as they get ready to release new single ‘Nightschool’ on 25 February. The EP will be released…
Little Signals are a vibrant trio full of ideas. With a fondness for refreshing hooks and catchy melodies, the band are fronted by Elizabeth Caney and backed up by Steve Harris (bass) and Rusty Jackson (drums). You can hear the discerning elements of the likes of Sky Larkin and Rilo Kiley in their sound, but…
