We’ve been hearing good things about Bellevue Days for quite a while now and when we saw them at 2000 Trees, we were suitably unpressed. Playing the festival mere days after releasing the ‘Rosehill’ EP, the Croydon four-piece have plenty more exciting gigs in the pipeline – including appearances at Citadel and the Summer Westival…
Already played twice in a row by Daniel P. Carter on Radio 1’s Rock Show (and with another daytime airing on the station to boot) The Xcerts have made a welcome return with ‘Feels Like Falling in Love’. On 2014’s ‘There Is Only You’ album, the trio delved into a more Springsteen or Tom Petty-esque…
It’s been far too long since Los Campesinos! released any music but now after an almost three-year break where various members went back to their day jobs (or toured with Perfume Genius!) they have returned with sixth album ‘Sick Scenes’, a record that the band state is ‘set upon a background of non-league football, prescribed…
As 2017 gets into full swing, we’re already excited for the amount of new music that will be released this year. In the next few months, we have albums from the likes of Ryan Adams, British Sea Power and Los Campesinos! to look forward to. We’re also very excited for gigs by the likes of…
Living Body – ‘Choose’ A Leeds supergroup formed by members of Sky Larkin, Vessels and Juffage, Living Body’s new track is a Life Without Buildings-style anthem that is full of melodic angst. The words ‘Get out while you can’ are repeated over and over again, while there is also something excitingly orchestral in the sound.…
Megan Landry – ‘Questions (on the Cliff)’ A proudly independent Canadian artist, Megan Landry tackles a host of political and environmental issues in Questions (on the Cliff). Opening in a Regina Spektor style, the offbeat aesthetic is accompanied by lyrics covering everything from graves to ‘sleeping in the bed you made’. Falling somewhere between Fight…
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…
Richard Walters – ‘U’ ‘I was somewhere lost in England’ are the opening words on this powerful song about loss, love, hope and hopelessness. Richard Walters despairs over mistakes he’s made and asks his lover: ‘Will you wait for me in London?’ There are strings, understated electronics, huge guitars and a heartbreaking delivery of the…
In the first of two posts of new music this weekend, we showcase some of the fine music that’s been sent to us over the past month or so. Modern Studies – ‘Dive Bombing’ Modern Studies emailed us after reading our Whitney review and their sound is equally sun-drenched despite being a Glasgow-via-Yorkshire-based band. Almost…
Recorded in London last winter, the four tracks on Acid Tongue’s new ‘Beautiful Disaster’ EP have a surprisingly sunny disposition and offer a brief glimpse into the mind of frontman Guy Keltner. The title track kicks off the EP and it has a fine line in Pavement-esque slacker pop, but combines this with some of…
