We first covered Dialects back in July last year when they unveiled their video for ‘Unknown Orbit’. Now they finally release this song as part of their debut EP ‘LTKLTL’ – or ‘Let the Kids Light these Lanterns’ if you’re not a fan of acronyms. Based in Glasgow, the experimental four-piece have recently been on…
We first came across Beach Slang when we heard they were touring across the States with Cursive. Now, any band playing with Tim Kasher and co has to be worth checking out – and we were even more excited to learn that the Philadelphia three-piece will be releasing their first two 7” singles on one…
Instrumental math rockers Space Blood wowed us with their ‘There Will Be…’ EP last winter and now the Chicago two-piece have returned with a split EP with the rather brilliantly named New York band Hannibal Montana. Released on very limited edition cassette tape, you can download it now via Bandcamp for the bargain price of…
Ahead of a full-length album later this year, Olympians have released an extended EP/mini-album via Barely Regal with the fitting title ‘Dance Like Everybody’s Watching and They Hate You’. Full of the feelings that have quickly become the London-via-Norwich quartet’s trademark, it follows on from last year’s ‘Adventure Gun’ EP and retains the dreamy, drone-tinged…
Anyone who loves Alcopop! Records will still have fond memories of the dearly departed Elephants and we’re yet to meet anyone who doesn’t have a soft spot for the gloriously spiky indie pop of Stagecoach. There’s been some buzz about Get Inuit for a while now, with some incredible shows and a number of plays…
A split EP between two very talented songwriters from our local area, ‘We Have Not Panned Out’ features two songs from Our Lost Infantry bass player Joey Ashworth’s itoldyouiwouldeatyou project and two from Guildford’s Annabel Allum. Released by our friends at Rose Coloured in a very limited edition run, the acts promised plenty of sadness…
Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, Celebration Guns introduced themselves as an ‘indie/emo/progressive’ band and while it’s true they do dip their toes into each of those genres, we believe they may be underselling themselves a little. Having just released a split EP with fellow Arizonians B.O.T.S (also well worth checking out, they reminded us of Adventures),…
Releasing their new EP ‘Monster Trucks’ through ‘Get Into It Records’ (who list the likes of Dads, The World Is a Beautiful Place and Healing Powers among their roster), Brighton three-piece The New Tusk have an infectious and endearingly childlike enthusiasm for all things punk rock. The opening riffs on the opening song ‘Nice Charity’…
Having already played with the likes of Minus the Bear, Dads and 1994!, Portsmouth trio Noyo Mathis have released their new EP ‘Endure’ through Animal Defence Records. Favourites of both Dengfest and Fools Paradise, the band are about to embark on a UK tour – and on this evidence, will be well worth catching. The…
They played the Brain Wave all-dayer on Easter Sunday this year and since then London duo JOHN have gone from strength to strength. With a support slot to Talons and a festival appearance at Southsea Fest in the pipeline, they’ve also become BBC 6Music favourites. On 15 September, they will be releasing their debut EP,…
