As itoldyouiwouldeatyou have added more and more members (last count they were somewhere between seven and 10), their sound has progressed and evolved into something really quite special. Following a tour with Cassels, they’ve released their latest five-track EP ‘I am Not Your Fault’ via Failure By Design and Beth Shalom Records. Head over to…
Hailed by Biffy Clyro as ones to watch and with acclaim from Daniel P. Carter (who also provided the artwork for this album), Black Foxxes have already gained a loyal following and their various gigs and festivals have helped them enhance this reputation further. ‘I’m Not Well’ is the Exeter trio’s debut album and it’s…
It’s been a long time coming but, finally, Olympians are releasing their debut album. From EPs to a Book Club-style set of releases and festivals to European tours, the band have been around the alternative scene for a while and have established themselves as a favourite with so many. Their askew pop songs have a…
Elizabeth Le Fey used to be a punk singer and was also formerly known as the White Witch of Oxygen. Since adapting the Globelamp persona, the Olympia, Washington native has signed to Wichita and toured all over the world, including a European jaunt with Mothers. Written in the wake of a painful romantic break-up and…
A favourite of ours for a couple of years now, Latvia’s Carnival Youth have released their sophomore in double-quick time.

The Hotelier’s 2014 album ‘Home, Like NoPlace is There’ brought them to the attention of a rabid, adoring fan base. With deeply personal lyrics and stirring anthemic music, they sit happily alongside the likes of recent tour mates Into It. Over It. and The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid…
SO-CRATES (we believe that’s the right casing for their name) are a band made up of musicians you’re bound to recognise if you’ve been to a gig in Hampshire or Surrey over the past decade and a half. We fondly remember the likes of Reuben and Hold Your Horse Is so to hear about a…
Out in the United States this week but not until 29 April in the UK and Europe, the new album from Into It. Over It. ranked as one of our most eagerly awaited releases of 2016. Ever since ‘Intersections’ saw Evan Weiss’ project take to another level, fans have been wanting to hear more Into…
Basia Bulat is a cult favourite who has gathered fans all over the world due to her autoharp playing and folk-tinged, deeply personal songs. When she unveiled ‘Fool’ on Soundcloud a few weeks ago, it was a surprise to many as she appeared to have gone into a more soulful and ‘60s-inspired place – and…
‘I can’t play instruments very well’ is a remarkably honest and self-depreciating opening line. And it was all it took for us to fall for ‘Sleep Talk’ by Diet Cig. Throw in some ‘60s-style drums and even more humour as the two-piece move along before delivering the heartbreaking admission ‘And if I told you I…
