Heavenly Records signing Mattiel has shared ‘Food for Thought’ ahead of an appearance on the Park stage at Glastonbury Festival this year and an extensive UK and European tour.

Bruce Springsteen has marked the release of his 19th studio album ‘Western Stars’ by sharing the Thom Zimny-directed video for the title track.

Team Me have shared ‘Does Anyone Know How to Get to the Heart of This’, the third single to be taken from their forthcoming new EP.

It even gives a cheeky nod to THAT viral video of…
We’ve all been eagerly awaiting the debut album from Quiet Lions for quite some time now and recent singles ‘Echo Chamber’ and ‘Wasteland’ have just whet the anticipation even more. Based around social and political issues, they hinted at the overriding theme of isolation and dissociation in today’s digital world that can be found throughout…
The Xcerts kicked off their ‘Hold on to Your Heart’ album campaign with Daniel P. Carter playing ‘Feels Like Falling in Love’ twice in a row on the Radio 1 Rock Show and a packed tent singing along to it less than a week later at 2000 Trees. Headline tours, main stage festival appearances and…
