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…
When we discovered (via a tweet from our favourites The Xcerts) there was a band called Witterquick, we couldn’t help but be very interested. One of the original Spectral Knights from the Visionaries, Witterquick had the pace to cause all kinds of problems for the Darkling Lords. With this shared love of an underappreciated ‘80s…
Norwegian punks Sl0tface have already marked themselves as one of our favourite new bands of the year and ‘Sponge State’ is an EP that has been eagerly awaited by so many. No one will be disappointed. The EP opens with ‘Get My Own’, a refreshing blast of indie-rock that has the potential to be a…
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…
Yr Poetry, Alexei and Junior from Johnny Foreigner’s pop-punk side project, have just released their new EP ‘Rocket Season’ over on Bandcamp. Available as a download or limited edition, handmade CD, it finds the duo in fine form. Opening with the Airplane-referencing ‘don’t call me Shirley’, its six tracks are full of riffs, hooks and…
One of the loudest two-pieces around, it’s always a treat to hear new material from JOHN. Sure to wake you up and get you moving. As we all know by now, there’s no slow build-up with JOHN – things get heavy right away and opener ‘Bigger Man’ is no exception. Coming across like a bullet…
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 London, Peter Cat have unveiled the video for ‘Keeping Up with Jacob’ and its one full of macabre-style lion and parrot masks, strong dance moves and a toe-tapping melody that will quickly seep itself into your brain. But that’s something you won’t mind. Referencing everything from the Turner Prize to Billy Childish and…
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…
