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.

Following their long-awaited – and critically acclaimed comeback album ‘Everything Ever Written’, Idlewild have unveiled their video for new single ‘Every Little Means Trust’.

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…
We’ve heard a lot of people talking about Lower Dens but hadn’t quite yet had the chance to check it out until we came across this video in our inbox – and it quickly became apparent Jana Hunter’s band are one well worth your time.

A band that never fail to make you smile, Emperor Yes have unveiled the lead single, ‘Paramesse to Tanis’, from their forthcoming debut album ‘An Island Called Earth’, which will be released via the mighty Alcopop!

Painfully young (they’re still in their teens) and hailing from Latvia, Carnival Youth belie their tender years with a folk sound that sits between Fanfarlo’s hazy dream-pop and the more traditional indie-esque ambience of Stornoway. With a grand, cinematic video to accompany ‘Never Have Enough’, the lead track from their new EP, the band has…
