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…
Everyone loves dinosaurs. You just have to remember the outrage when it was revealed that Dippy would no longer be keeping watch over the Natural History Museum in London… Phenomenal creatures that we thought we’d only see the fossils and descendants of, they were spectacularly brought back to life by Steven Spielberg in 1993’s Jurassic…

Last year we reviewed Salvation Bill’s ‘FML (Feel My Lump)’ which showcased the quirky troubadour pop that one-man band Ollie Thomas (ex-Ute and the Old Grinding Young) specialises in so much. With b-side ‘Tony Blair Extraordinaire’ offering an intimate political edge, we were excited to hear what the Oxfordonian would come up with on his…
Written about the frustrations of corporate business ethics (or lack of…), Spectral Nights favourites Quiet Lions have released the video for ‘The Wolves of the Capital’. The first single from their next EP ‘No Illusions’, it’s full of intelligent math-rock guitar lines and maybe a touch of Arcane Roots in the passionate chorus where Michael…
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…
