We would still rank The Antlers’ 2009 album ‘Hospice’ as one of the greatest records of the 21st century. Emotional, powerful and poignant, it discussed the complex issues of terminal illness and grief with a clarity that couldn’t fail to give you goosebumps. They followed this up with the anthemic ‘Burst Apart’ in 2012 and…
Joe Booley first came to our attention around four years ago when he supported Our Lost Infantry at the Boileroom in Guildford.

Now, he’s finally releasing his debut album ‘TRANSFORMATIONS’, where…
Bruising – ‘What It Feels Like’ Released via Too Pure Singles Club ahead of a tour with Menace Beach, Bruising’s ‘What It Feels Like’ is a song that couldn’t be more of a contrast to their aggressive name. Short and sweet with gliding vocals and guitar hooks that bring to mind some of the early…

Regina Spektor – ‘Small Bill$’ It’s so good to have Regina Spektor back and this new single opens with some Bond-style atmospherics. While the video is wrapped up in Yellow Submarine-style themes, the subject matter is far darker. There’s talk of ‘all the poets in the alley coughing up blood’ and how ‘everyone wants their…

Sl0tface have the knack for creating irresistible pop-punk tunes that instantly lift your mood and will have you beaming from year to year. In their latest single, ‘Take Me Dancing’, they provide an ode to lost youth (who didn’t have unfulfilled dreams or breaking into a public pool?), having fun and dancing your cares away…

After tours with Lonely the Brave, various festival appearances and acclaim from the likes of Huw Stephens, things are looking very positive for the Scottish band. Now, they have unveiled new single ‘Lost…
Bordon singer-songwriter Joe Booley is set to release his third EP, ‘Trouble’, via Beth Shalom Records. Three songs long, it follows last year’s ‘Not a Fairytale’ which sparkled with its tales of sadness and reality. Opening with the title track, there are Elbow-style atmospherics and echoed vocal effects as Joe sings: ‘I am yours, my…
Washington D.C. native Laura Burhenn’s The Mynabirds project is now onto its third album and her sound is as refreshingly vital and vigorous as ever. Having spent a year on the road with the Postal Service, it quickly becomes apparent she’s taken their love of synths and gorgeous hooks and implemented it further into her…
