Featuring ex-members of Rolo Tomassi and Antares, it’s no surprise that Yorkshire band Body Hound specialise in riffs. Brutal, melodic and completely progressive, they’ve released their first EP via Brain Wave for ‘pay what you want’, ahead of the release of the physical, via Brain Wave, later this year. Opening with ‘Vector Approaching’, there’s no…
We don’t need to reiterate how much we loved Stagecoach. Providing so many great memories over the years, there’s still a tinge of sadness that they called it a day last year. At least they left on a high, with ‘Say Hi to the Band’ being pretty much the perfect indie-pop album and one you…
A long-time favourite of Spectral Nights, Fatherson’s emotion-packed Scottish indie will leave an impression on even the most unlikely of music fans. Already BBC Introducing regulars and well loved north of the border, they hit the ground running when they supported on Lonely the Brave’s nationwide tour at the turn of the year. In what,…
When Snævar Njáll Albertsson launched his Dad Rocks! project in 2010, it didn’t take long until he was established as one of the indie-scene’s favourites. Many were already fans due to his incredible exploits with Mimas and the long-sold-out ‘Digital Age’ EP, with its subtle observations on human behaviour and modern technology, only hinted at…
Here’s another great video from one of our favourites – Spring Offensive. ‘Bodylifting’ finds the band in fighting-fit form, both in sound and in the video, conceived and directed by band members Matt Cooper and Lucas Whitworth. Opening with a swirling and rhythmic chant of ‘I feel your body lifting, I feel a shape is…
To mark our 100th post, we have a very special video from our friends Our Lost Infantry. It’s safe to say this site probably wouldn’t exist without the recently expanded Surrey five piece, who have always been fully supportive and provided us with so many band suggestions and pictures of their constantly smiling bass player,…
Yellow Bird Project has been teaming up with a number of brilliant bands since 2006 to create exclusive T-shirts that have raised funds for a number of charities. Among these bands have been Bon Iver, The National and The Shins – quite a lineup, we’re sure you’d agree. Now they have turned their attention to…
A band originally from the Isle of Wight, but now based in London, Victory Kicks are set to release their new album The Decibel Age later in the year. The first single from the album, ‘Junior Code Course’ is available via Bandcamp now and perfectly encaptures the band’s breezy take on fine indie-pop. The home-produced…
Three brothers from Farnham, Surrey, The Venus Lyx have already played The Summer Westival and various shows around the local area and on the South Coast, as well as with Spectral Nights favourites Sister Leona. Now they’ve released the first track from what could be a new EP, called ‘Saint Mary Waking Home’. Recorded live…
After the success of Parachute for Gordo’s EP launch at the West End Centre on Friday 28 March, the next night saw a marked difference in volume as former And So I Watch You From Afar man Tony Wright brought his VerseChorusVerse project to the hallowed venue. Armed with just an acoustic guitar and a…
