itoldyouiwouldeatyou have expanded from Joey Ashworth’s solo project to a full band over the past 18 months and this progression has served the London/Guildford(ish) five-piece so well. Having honed their skills in various live shows alongside the likes of the Xcerts, Jamie Lenman and Theo, they’re now set to release their first EP proper with…
Hailing from the Bay Area of San Francisco, we were enamoured with A Yawn Worth Yelling, not only by their awesome name, but also by the PR promise of a band that sounds somewhat ‘reminiscent of hellogoodbye and The Dear Hunter’. We were delighted to see A Yawn Worth Yelling fulfil this promise on ‘Play…
A band that seemingly came out of nowhere and is already NME favourites, Zooz are signed to our friends over at Super Fan 99 Records and ‘Surf in Stereo’ is their debut EP. There’s some Shins-style melancholia in ‘Another Day in the Sun’, the opening song which is breezy and full of rhetorical questions, culminating…
Having played the Great Escape, gained exposure from the likes of GoldFlakePaint and supported the likes of Weyes Blood, things have been getting better and better for Annabel Allum. Now she’s joined forces with Propriety Records (a creative collaboration between Thom Ashworth, who you’ll know from Our Lost Infantry, and Death of the Blogger/itoldyouiwouldeatyou’s Ollie…
Already well on the fast-track to finding true romance with the music-adoring public, we reckon you’ll fall for the charms of Zooz and their next single ‘True Love’. Signed to our friends at the ever-impressive Super Fan 99 Records, the limited-edition 7” has already sold out but that won’t stop you from enjoying this psychedelic…
‘Cos when we first started this, we were just kids. You were surface, I was deep’. Manchester’s Easy Kill are a band with a candid approach to songwriting and this openness and sincerity runs through ‘Mould’, the lead single from their ‘Already Entitled’ EP (available on My Little Empire Records). A break-up song that would…
Ahead of the release of their self-titled debut album this summer, Los Angeles-based Cotillon have unveiled their new single ‘Call Me Up’. Released in the UK on limited edition clear 8” vinyl by the ever-reliable Super Fan 99 Records, it’s the perfect start to the summer with its nostalgic feel that pretty much sums up…
yr friends is Alexei Berrow from Johnny Foreigner’s solo project. The band name and song titles are all displayed in lower case – a perfect example of the more uncluttered and acoustic-based sound that features on this Bandcamp EP (although it does drive spellcheck up the wall…). Throughout the five tracks, Lex gets to offer…
Our favourite purveyors of pop-folk from Latvia, Carnival Youth, have returned with the indie-anthem-in-waiting ‘Words Like Birds’. Sure to whet anticipation for debut album ‘No Clouds Allowed’, it sees the teenage four-piece dip into a more polished sound than perhaps we’ve seen before – but that’s not a bad thing, especially as they’re keen to…
A math-rock band hailing from London, Quadrilles recently released their new EP ‘Isotypes’ on very reasonably priced vinyl from Lonely Voyage Records. Friends of Olympians (in fact, their EP artwork is by Michael Parkin – the man also responsible for the knights you can see above), they share a label with Polymath and Lost in…
