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…
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…
‘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…
When we were looking through the list of albums coming out in 2016, one spring release stood out in particular – the new one from Into It. Over It. We’re sure we don’t have to reiterate what huge fans we are of Evan Weiss and his various musical outputs, but this – the third ‘Proper’…
Long-time friend of Spectral Nights, former Death of the Blogger man and itoldyouiwouldeatyou bassist Ollie Greville was kind enough to interview George Phillips, guitarist and songwriter from new favourites Sad Blood for us. George seems to hold Evan Weiss in the highest regard, so he’s fine by us. Check out Sad Blood’s music at their…
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…
It’s been far too long since we covered one of the bands from the TopShelf Records roster. When we came across Donovan Wolfington and their awesome Into It. Over It.-meets-Alkaline Trio punk racket, we couldn’t resist writing about and sharing their new single ‘Ollie North’. As the words ‘take yourself away’ are screamed time and…
Masters of friendship and sadness itoldyouiwouldeatyou have unveiled the first song from their next EP, due to be released by our friends over at Rose Coloured Records in the near future. Twinklier than previous releases, ‘All Unwritten Classics’ retains the melodic emo stylings of Moose Blood but with the sense of humour and pop-punk ethics…
We asked Joey Ashworth from itoldyouiwouldeatyou, Our Lost Infantry and Death of the Blogger to review the new album from Connecticut punks Sorority Noise. The album is released in the UK via Topshelf Records on 29 June. Here are Joey’s thoughts: When Forgettable came out, what I loved was the slapdash production, the sloppy playing…
A local band who have already made a name for themselves with a number of shows in the best venues in Surrey and Hampshire, Dazy Chain have now released their debut EP ‘Bloodbath’. ‘I Don’t Care’ opens the EP but sadly it’s not a strange bedfellow of the Xcerts’ hit of the same name… Melodies…
